Cusa Tea & Coffee | Premium Instant Spicy Chai Tea With Real Fruit & Spices | Organic Leaves Drink Mix Packets | Hot or Iced Tea (100 Single Servings)

I'm a tea snob...while I do often settle for bagged tea due to its convenience, I take pride in enjoying loose leaf tea whenever possible. This tea, however, is making me rethink tea. Seriously.I was already hooked on the convenience of powdered tea thanks to my favorite ginger tea and longed for more teas to be available in powder form. It was hard to find any other varieties, though. Then I discovered Cusa.With Cusa, you literally can make a PERFECT cup of tea in a matter of seconds. The tea tastes absolutely natural. Not one bit fake or artificial. It's absolutely amazing.Here are my opinions on the five flavors of the variety pack:English Breakfast - I don't generally like black tea, but I actually enjoyed this one. It was "gentler" than other black teas I've tried. There was not one hint of bitterness, and yet the flavor was bold. It was also easy on my stomach, which black tea often is not (for me).Green - On it's own, I wouldn't buy this one again. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't robust enough. I would prefer for it to taste "greenier." Perhaps a different type of green would be better like Sencha or Gun Powder. Of course, that's just a matter of opinion. The quality of the tea was still high.Oolong - This was my favorite in the pack. It was just delicious.Lemon Black - Excellent. The lemon did not taste or smell like lemon flavoring. I kid you not, it was as if I had just squeezed a fresh lemon into the tea. I can say this for a certainty because I actually squeezed a fresh lemon into the English Breakfast tea and it was nearly indistinguishable.Mango Green - Very impressed with the aroma of this one. The tea itself was exquisite.I have to say, I'm very excited about Cusa tea. It's a bit pricey, but they are also delivering very high value. My expectations were exceeded by quite a bit. And I'm so glad it's organic. I would love if they started making other teas as well. I would love a Kukicha, Lemon Grass, and Roiboos for sure. I'm sure many others would enjoy a Mint as well. Hopefully Cusa will continue to expand it's offerings because if this variety pack is any indication, we can only expect very high quality from their products.

When will the tea be available?

I am a Nature's Guru Instant Sweetened Masala Chai addict, but I wanted to move towards all organic at home, so I thought I would try this instant tea and add my own stevia and my own milk. I have tried making this two ways, first by adding powdered milk after the fact, second by doing 2/3 water 1/3 milk then heating it, I always add the powdered tea last as that is how it dissolves best. The flavor is pretty decent though not my favorite. I think I need to try to sweeten it with sugar once like the Nature's Guru to more closely compare apples to apples flavor wise. I like that this Cusa chai has black pepper in it and that it is not overly ginger flavored like Rishi. I also like that the cinnamon used is real cinnamon and not the non-cinnamon species from Vietnam or Indonesia and the seller was very prompt in answering my question on that. I also like that this is brewed then dried as opposed to just being dried powdered whole tea leaves which don't dissolve/mix well and don't taste well/like real brewed tea since you get the whole leaf. The package says to mix with 12 to 14 ounces, there is no way that would work, it would be way too weak, I have been using 8 ounces and that is just right. I find it a little spendy at a buck a cup since I wasn't willing to buy in bulk, but I can enter a camelcamelcamel alert to watch out for price drops. So, anyway, for now it is a strong "like" or four stars.

I have gone back to buy more. Easy to carry with, and tastes fairly good.

The lemon black tea has an awfully strong and strange lemon flavor that overpowers any kind of tea experience. The rest are generally good. Note only some can be mixed cold limiting portability utility.

Ok so these are great! I bought the sampler package to kind of try them before committing to any certain flavor, but I was bummed out to see mine did not come with the advertised Chai Tea, and instead came with 2 of each of the other 5.Also for anyone looking to "try before you buy", turns out on the company's website you can get a sampler package of all 6 flavors for just the cost of S&H, which is like $2.65 (Just an FYI) wish I knew that before I bought here...Anyway they are all really good, some required me to want to add 2-3 honey sticks to a 12oz mug of tea. The Mango Green was probably the best tasting by itself, it also had a nice aroma. I'm also a fan of the Lemon Black, but would definitely add some honey and maybe some cloves and shaved cinnamon. Now i'm very curious about the Chai.The tea dissolved in perfectly in seconds and was delicious. A great addition to my hiking daypack.(Update) So I emailed Cusa Tea about the issue and they mailed me 2 variety packs for free! So 5 stars, all the way.

I love tea and after reading all the reviews I was excited to try this despite the remarkably high cost since people said it was amazing! I made my first cup in a regular coffee mug (12 oz) within minutes of the package arriving. The tea had nearly no flavor, like you had put a tea bag in hot water for 30 seconds. I thought that perhaps the 10 oz of water I had in the cup was too much so I added an entire second packet.Even with two servings in one cup of hot water the taste was a hint or suggestion of tea flavor. The flavor was good but to have any sort of actual cup of tea I would have had to use at least three packets. If you like your tea to barely get in the way of the taste of water this is great. Frankly if it just came loose in a jar it would be better since you could self dose but each packet is so expensive it seemed like a waste to get one cup out of three.

I love this product. It’s great for travel or the gym, a day at the beach or picnic. Cusa is one of my favorite healthy teas on the go.

I was hoping for a slightly peachier taste, but at least the green tea taste is not overbearing. I added sweetener as I am diabetic. I think I will give the mango tea a try too. If you want a bit of a juicier taste you could add fresh fruit chunks to your pitcher or a squirt of water enhancer...crystal light etc.

The flavour is very weak, very little peach, and leaves a bad after taste. If you enjoy very subtle flavours, go for it. If you like strong, sweet, or fruity flavours, this is a no-go.
