Waka Instant Black Tea Mix, Kenyan - 100% Tea Leaves, No Additives, Unsweetened Tea Powder for 50 Quarts or 200 Cups – Easy and Quick Hot or Iced Teas (4.5oz)

I got my order of Waka black tea powder a few days ago and have been enjoying it very much! I've been a tea drinker most of my life and have been missing the instant tea a great deal since it has no longer been available. I was glad to find this tea available on Amazon and read the reviews, which were mostly positive. When I opened the package, I found that the Waka black tea smells different from most of the teas I've had and was afraid it would taste different. I'm happy to say that's not true. It tastes very good! I haven't made hot tea with it yet, but I'm sure it will taste good too. Some people said it doesn't dissolve well in cold water, but I didn't find that to be true. And I like the fact that you only need to use a quarter teaspoon of the powder per cup, even though my regular cup actually holds over two cups of water. That makes the Waka tea a good price since the package says it makes 200 servings. So I'm very happy with the Waka black tea and will definitely order it again.

I’m moved from North Michigan to Virginia. Grew up on instant unsweetened Lipton tea. Impossible to find Lipton instant tea w/o sugar or flavoring added in this state. I gave up looking and bought Wake instant black tea. What a joy it is to have fresh brewed ice tea in an instant. Actually has more tea richness flavor than Lipton. Really does taste fresh brewed. Definitely on my reorder list.

The flavor of this tea is nothing special. Pretty much what one would expect of a dried black tea powder. My biggest complaints are the false advertising on the amount of cups this will make. When mixed exactly as instructed the resulting tea is so weak that, compared cup to cup with water, you essentially can't taste (or smell) the difference. You need to at least double the number of scoops you use, or even triple. This means that the "50 cups" they advertise is completely false. Try more like 20ish cups (if even that).The other thing I dislike is that the tea is a very fine powder. No surprise there... But this means that it balls up really bad when added to a cup of water. You can get around this issue by first adding just a slight bit of water to the bottom of your cup, add the tea powder next to make a paste, and then add the remaining water. It is just an annoying extra step.Overall I am "meh" regarding this tea. If it wasn't for the STEEP price (remembering that you get half or less than the cups advertised), then I would probably like it. I certainly won't buy it again at the current price point, not unless it is made way stronger.

The best tea I’ve ever had. I am a tea drinker (never liked coffee). I am on the subscription because I don’t want to ever be out of it. It’s the strongest caffeine and I love the boost it gives me. Doesn’t give you the shakes like many energy caffeinated drinks. Mellow taste. It’s just perfect imo.

You need such a teeny tiny amount of powder to make yourself a cup of iced tea, that I genuinely can’t imagine how long it’s going to be until I run out of this one bag. Saves me so much time and still has that good brewed taste, with earthy and slightly bitter notes, that I come to enjoy from my favorite caffeinated drink. Yum!

At first, I followed the directions as described on the package and I could barely taste the tea flavor. I have found that a half teaspoon in a regular 16.9 ounce water bottle is good for me. It's slightly bitter but that's how I like it and that's how I used to drink Lipton Instant Iced Tea, before they discontinued it. So, the verdict is, this tea has an okay flavor but it's no way as good as Lipton. And the amount you get for your money is not whats advertised, unless you like watered down tea.

This is good instant tea. If you use 1/4 teaspoon to 8 ounces of water as suggested it is way to strong for me. I ended up using 16 ounces to get the perfect blend for me. So this will last me twice as long as suggested. 2 ounces of hot water blends this up very well.

Taste great! Now that Lipton has discontinued its unsweetened Instant tea I had to find a substitute. This taste better!If making cold tea I recommend stirring it up into a small amount of room temp water first and then adding the cold water. A little spendy but I think it's worth it.
