I scored myself a nice little birthday surprise.

I love the tea from TeaTech (yes, I know it's advertised as Jackie Chan's tea) because it's just powdered green tea in single serve containers like those Crystal Light packets. Much better than soda, Crystal Light or sugar-free Kool-Aid. I can empty a packet into a bottle of water at work and easily drink green tea all day. The plain fifteen

Really? I've only tasted the oolong so far, and I love it. So I guess it's fine if they all taste the same. Thanks for the bulk tip, too!

Oo, fresh bakes tea biscuits. I really need to move to a more tea-friendly place.

I'm assuming that powdered tea is sweetened. What is it sweetened with? Thanks!

[disorderly_mind]

Excellent question! Along with coming in three flavours (original, lemon and raspberry) they also come plain with no sweetener at all or sweetened with either Splenda or stevia. I get the ones with no sweetener at all because I dislike fake sugars and stevia is way too sweet for me with a horribly bitter aftertaste. The raspberry's pretty good, but the lemon with ice cold water is the most refreshing thing ever.

Interesting! thanks for sharing, jackie chan is awesome. so is green tea. and i guess 8X extra antioxidants is good, too. compensates for any artificial sweetener they might have in there, if any =)

It comes sweetened with either Splenda or stevia or you can get it without any sweeteners at all, if you're like me. I guess I could add my own sweetener if I wanted to, but some ice cold lemon green tea all by itself is what gets me through the day, no sweetener needed.

Oh, and yay for the healing antioxidant power of tea!

[petit_haricot]

ah, stevia! good stuff!
very popular japanese sweetener... dont hear too much about it in the US.

My mom had some growing in her garden, though =p
