A rich breakfast blend especially suited for those who enjoy a powerful cup in the morning. This also is a great choice for iced tea. Java teas are never expensive, so you get the best produced for a few cents a cup.
Steeping Suggestions
Leaf Quantity: 2.25 g/6oz cup Steep Time: 4 min. Water Temperature: 212 degrees (boiling)
Simple blend with notes of dark berries and wheat. A basic Indonesian tea.
The best iced tea

I have been making iced tea with java for more than 15 years. It is the best for a classic iced tea. I follow the cold water method, overnight in the refrigerator and then strain it in the morning. It is wonderful. No lemon, no sweetener, it is wonderful with just ice. I drink it all year long.
Good all around tea

I bought this for an ice tea blend. It is a good plain tea, I prefer simple non-flavored tea, I drink it straight - no lemon no milk. It is good as a hot tea as well.
The only down side to this as an ice tea is that more often than not it clouds up.
A great standard black tea

If you're in the market for a standard black tea, this is a fine choice.
Average at best

I found the intensity of the tea to be fairly weak, though the tannins appear to be quite low which makes it easy to drink. From the reviews that I read prior to ordering, I expected at least a little more intensity. I'll try it as an iced tea to see if it is more appealing.
The best iced tea!

Java Blend makes the most wonderful iced tea. It is especially good when I brew it cold. Put about 1/2c-2/3 c of tea in a mason jar filled with cold water in the fridge over-night and in the morning pour through a filter of course and you will I have a great tasting iced tea concentrate.
A Truly Tasty Tea

I tried this tea as a sample and did a taste test with a Ceylon tea and two others. This one won because it's a robust yet balanced flavor, beautiful rich color, and has hints of warm spice before it finishes with a complex slight toasty taste. The flavor lingers on after the sip. It's very satisfying!
Better than Teavana at Starbucks!

I’ve been looking for some loose tea to use now that my Teavana store closed. I tried this and it is better than Teavana and the tea I get at Starbucks. I make a gallon at a time and I use 5 family sized bags of Lipton tea with one large tea ball (2.75 inch diameter) of loose tea. Steep for 5 min. I always use filtered water… Very important!!!
Great utilitarian tea

And I don't anything bad by utilitarian. It is an all around dependable black tea good for drinking black or with milk or iced.
Summer in a glass over ice!

I love this tea! I've been buying it for several years. It's hearty, GREAT iced, and more delicious with a slice of lemon. It makes my summer. It's a decent BOP and good hot with milk.
