Pique Organic Passion Fruit Green Tea Crystals - Supports Immunity, Energy - 14 Single Serve Sticks (Pack of 1)

OMG! This stuff is amazing! Better than any tea from a teabag I've ever made. PLUS, it's consistent taste every time. You know how tea bags can be fresh, or stale, or give you a bitter cup one time, and the perfect cup the next, and your water has to be just right? Yeah. Not a fan. But this stuff, in cold or hot water, tastes the same every time - fresh and great. I ordered the mint because other reviewers said it was the best. I use it in cold water, or hot, and it's just as good either way. I carry several in my bag and just dump one in a bottle of water from any vending machine. I even order hot water (or did before the virus) and put it in there on the go. Great tasting tea. I have like 40 boxes of bagged tea collecting dust in my kitchen pantry since discovering this. Looking forward to trying more flavors.PROS:Consistent taste every timeGood in cold water or hotEasy to take with youFresher tasting than bagged tea - even if bag is in stay fresh containerGreat for camping, van dwellers and people who don't have a lot of storage space

First of all, I am a notorious non-reviewer. But I'm here today because this tea literally saved my day.I'm on day 6 of my water fast (save it, please - lovely internet know-it-allers). Anyway, I was just about to give up. (Low energy, weakness, fatigue, general fasting malaise) In fact, I walked into Giant and bought a pack of macadamia nuts - (800 calories, 760 from fat; 4g sugar; 8g protein). I figured, I'd break the fast but stay as close to ketosis as I could.When I got back in the car, I remembered that I hadn't taken my little satchet of nothingness today. So, I promptly added to distilled water ( about 1/6 of a san pellegrino glass bottle) and drank half. That was 30 minutes ago. Now, I'm back to me. Oh yeah. I could run a mile ( but I will surely not.) The point is, I COULD!!!)While there's almost nothing in these ridiculously expensive satchets @ $1/ satchet, I really hate to say this, but this tea is *legit*.Oh, I need to qualify that by saying:a) This morning, I brewed 2 tea bags of some organic green tea from Whole Foods, forget the brand and sipped that all day. Did almost nothing.b) I'm also all set with my K & Na.c) Days 1-5, I sipped on 1 satchet of this tea, in my day's water, most of the day. I couldn't isolate it's effects however because of point b above.a, b & c should qualify the legit-ness of this tea.I really wanted to hate it for the $14 price - I mean, who drinks $14 tea????BUT this tea has saved my day & my fast - I gotta give credit where credit is due.Point to note: This flavor - I ignore it now - but it tastes & smells like something that should be in my soap/lotion/perfume. I suppose that serves me right for not knowing what Jasmine was. I'm not dinging the tea due to my ignorance however next time (that I have $14 to spend on a fasting tea!) , I will be trying a different flavor of green tea.Summary: This is a legit fasting tea. My fasting partner for life (different flavor). I wouldn't be caught dead drinking a $14 tea when I'm not fasting though. Still - 7 Stars & thanks Pique for literally saving my day and my fast!!! Fasting On!!

I was a little suspect at first when hearing about the idea of "instant" tea and a powder packet, as I have rarely found any type of instant brewed drink that can equal what it replaces. However, I read an article on FastCompany about Pique and their process of extracting and concentrating the very essence of what gives tea its flavor. The company founder, Simon Chang, studied Chinese history at Harvard and spent years traveling in China, where tea is taken more seriously than it generally is in the US. I spent some time in China as well, which is where I developed an appreciation for great brewed tea.Pique tea, rather than being just crushed tea leaves, is actual crystals created through a proprietary process of pressurized cold-brewing that preserves the tea's antioxidants and nutrients. The end product can be poured into hot water and instantly consumed, which also eliminates the difficulty of finding the perfect steep time with tea leaves.And most importantly, the flavor is outstanding. I have brewed Jasmine tea leaves for years now, and Pique has matched, if not exceeded, the flavor from the traditionally-brewed tea leaves. Interestingly enough, Pique won 3 gold medals at the Global Tea Championship (something I didn't even know existed before reading about them).I am also a big fan of startups and entrepreneurs taking on the establishment, and Pique is truly an inspirational story for someone trying to do just that.

I love these, very convenient and tastes great. However I probably won’t purchase again because the price point is far too high for me

These are tasty and so easy to use. I like the benefits of skin, energy and immunity. It tastes smooth with several good shakes. Shaken not stirred applies.

I was excited to try this but can’t get past the first sip. If you like eating Jasmine flower perfume that’s exactly what you’ll get. Very strong taste of jasmine. Can’t drink it.

100% NOT WORTH IT!!!Tiny, tiny, tiny amount in each packet. Marketing & packaging is what you are paying for.I found an excellent NGO organic loose tea directly from Japan for a fraction of the cost.Don't waste your money!
