Review: Really Good Quality Stuff 👍 - One of my new favotite desertcart finds . This is really good quality tea , powdered like a Japanese Macha or Turkish coffee and it has a nice deep rich flavor. One bag is about 2/3 a pint mason , I put it in a glass jar with an O2 absorber for better storage after opening the bag. Comes w a tiny 1/4 tsp scooper , which is enough to make a cuppa. The black tea variety did well in my Chai recipe , can't wait to try some of the others.
Review: Its “good”, but not in the way real tea drinkers might think… - So, lets start with an honest disclosure: I have a complicated relationship with tea. I have read much about the health benefits of tea and wish to replace my sugar infused liquid bad habits with something healthier. Simple enough you might think, however, that’s where the complicated part comes into play; I absolutely despise the taste of tea. Preparing for this review, I invested some time into ensuring that I accurately convey the level of disgust I experience on my taste buds while consuming tea. Turns out “Hate”, which is a very powerful word to express an “intense or passionate dislike for something or someone” and was my go-to descriptor, is not at all accurate. In the hierarchy of English words used to convey dislike and negativity, it appears that hate takes a back seat to “Loathe” which itself sits behind “Abhor”. To give you some perspective of my level of abhorrence for the taste: Were I present at Boston Harbor on December 16th of 1773, I would have joined the Sons of Liberty in throwing crates of tea into the harbor, not just for the sake of raising hell about taxation without representation, but just as importantly to me, ridding the world of the foul taste of that repugnant vile weed. In my search to find a brand of tea that is somewhat palatable to my anti-tea taste buds, I have tried many different brands & types. I have attempted to camouflage the taste with honey, lemon, maple syrup, and even sugar, but with no success. Nothing I do can filter my repugnance. Here’s where any sane person would have had the realization that “Gee, maybe tea isn’t for me, I just don’t like it, so I shouldn’t drink it!” But apparently, I’m to stupid and stubborn, and my battle persists in trying to find a tea that I can consume without fighting back the gag. So, with that depressing look at the inner workings of my mind, and my lifelong battle with tea, lets move on to why I find myself here, giving this elixir a 5-star review: I stumbled into Waka’s Instant Kenyan Black Tea during my last bout of “Must find a Tea” madness, and read the reviews in which most tea drinkers referred to its unique capabilities to infuse into water without any grainy remnants and also its rich flavor. Reviews were very positive and something told me to order it. Upon its arrival, I opened the package and took a deep nasally draw and…nothing bad. I mixed up a small glass and took a sip, bracing myself for the inevitable ugly tea aftertaste letdown; but it never appeared. Instead, I was greeted with a slight but noticeable dark mustiness that was relatively pleasant with no repugnance! Zero Repugnance! I proceeded to sip away and in no time the glass was empty. At the ripe age of 49, I had just consumed my very first full cup of tea! Summary: While I cant say it’s the best drink I’ve ever had, it’s the only tea I have ever been able to finish, and from my perspective, that says everything. I’ll be ordering more! -If you’re a tea connoisseur, you would be wise to read the other reviews since what I’m peddling here isn’t going to help you much. -If you have a tea-hate personality disorder and are trying to find a tea that you won’t hate as much or at all, then take my word for it and give this a try. I can drink it straight but prefer a squeezed lemon with it, which compliments the tea well. -The caffeine level is a strong plus! Gives me a nice kick without the jitteriness of energy drinks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this finely ground tea leaves or freeze dried tea?**
A: It is very finely ground tea leaves and wonderfully tasty and easy to use. I am tired of dealing with tea bags.

**Q: How long will this stay fresh? Does it have an expiration date?**
A: I didn't look for the expiration date. However, keeping it inside a glass jar should help it stay fresh till I run out. Though the bag claims to make up to 200 servings, I think 80 servings is the max. I am making 2 cups a day. At this rate, it will be finished in 40 days.

**Q: How does this compare in taste to Teavana or Pure Leaf bottled tea?**
A: A lot depends on the strength that you want. I myself have found if I dissolve tea in a little hot water first it taste more like brewed tea. Remember a little goes a long way.

**Q: What kind of black tea is in the "indian black" variation? assam? other/s?**
A: Hello! It’s Camellia Sinensis from South India. We hope it helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Health benefits and great flavor
*by G***L on October 23, 2025*

This tea is pretty good, but messy, as someone else said. The powder is so fine that it tends to spill, but I’d rather deal with that than have fillers, sweeteners and flavors some corporate product developers come up with. I mix this tea with a peach-mango flavored electrolyte powder that is sweetened with stevia and that also contains extra amino acids, and I get a perfect peach tea that is good for me. Sometimes I also add collagen powder and really treat myself well. I have a couple of 40 oz. containers that I use to get my 150 oz plus of water per day, and I have developed a little routine. I stir 5 quarter-tsps of the tea powder into some hot water in my container before I leave for work. I may add a scoop of the electrolyte powder and some ice cubes then, or I may add the powder later, along with cold bottled or filtered water at work. I like to let the tea brew a little on its own if possible. I also carry the powder in a small container with the scoop in a zip lock baggie for a refill while at work. I have tubes of electrolytes for adding on the go, so I can have 2 80 oz containers-ful per day. Adding the tea makes my electrolyte drink more refreshing. If starting with hot water isn’t possible, I still start with the tea powder in a small amount of room-temperature or cold water, and shake it a lot to mix and “brew” the tea before adding everything else. As I said above, it’s a little more work than commercially available peach tea products, but it’s worth it to me to have a sweetener that doesn’t raise my blood sugar or“fake-out” my system, and that has real tea benefits plus the electrolytes and other nutrients I need. I used to drink 64 oz plus of diet soda per day, but I have gotten clean and am treating my body better. I’ve lost 40 lbs, improved all my vitals, lost the aches and pains, and look and act younger than my 70 years of age. I also don’t take any of the usual pharmaceuticals for someone of my age and health concerns. The tea/water is only part of the story, but getting off the commercial drinks is an important part!
