Java Blend

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.
