Premium Orange Pekoe & Pekoe Cut Black Tea, Gallon Size Tea Bags, Capit'l T (96 Count)

Need to follow instructions but the tea is good.

4/15/2023 - I have been using this black tea for about six months now. I am very satisfied with the flavor and find it more appealing comparable to a couple other brands. I have been through too many other brands looking for a flavor that meets my taste palate.Different methods for different folks but I boil just over a gallon of water in a pot to a rapid boil. I then turn off the heat and toss in two gallon sized bags. Once cooled a bit, but still warm, I sweeten to taste (after removing and squeezing the excess from the tea bags). I prefer my tea on the strong flavor side and this process is a perfect taste for me. Can't beat the price/quantity either. I can't drink it fast enough to stock up on a second box but I will be ordering again in another 6-8 months.

This tastes like the iced tea you get at most restaurants.

I use this tea at home, although the package is probably intended for businesses/restaurants. I personally do not boil the water, it takes overnight to make the tea, my Dad boils the water, both versions taste great. I drink it plain and with real lemon juice. In this volume it is a great value.

I am a heavy iced tea drinker but was never really happy with the results that came from brewing it myself. I stuck to the big boys (gold peak, tejava, pure leaf) and would stock up on weekly grocery trips. Social distancing made me want to be more efficient and economical with my tea consumption so I decided to give these bags a try.After 50 or so gallons, I’m really pleased with the results.I’ve tried a few methods of brewing.The quickest method for me has been to heat up 1.5 cups of water in microwave safe cup, let the bag steep until it’s cool enough to wring out, then combine this concentrate with the remaining water in a gallon container. The taste with this method was more akin to restaurant ice tea and paired nicely with lemon and berries.The slower method was to just pop one of these bags into a gallon container, pour water over it and let it do it’s thing for 8-12 hours (I try to sink the bag with a large spoon to get better flavor circulation) The flavor here is more consistent and mild. Reminiscent of the bottled brands mentioned earlier. I could drink this straight all day or with a little lemon.The value is also a real advantage. Even if you need to buy jugs of water, these bags ends up costing $1 or less for a gallon of good tasting tea. Buying the equivalent amount at the store in bottles would run $4-5 normally.If your looking for subtle flavor profile or hints of anything floral, keep moving. If you want a value ice tea that delivers by the giant cupful because you don’t want to drink soda anymore and water has always been too boring for your child-like palate, welcome home.

Very good tea, nice bold flavor. Does not cloud up when you make iced tea.I enjoy a glass every day!

Absolutely a great find and buy.

OK I read the reviews of this stuff tasting like "restaurant iced tea" etc and was kind of excited that it was going to be new and exciting in some way. It isn't, really. If you use Tetley or Typhoo or even Lipton in 8-10 bags per gallon-- it's going to taste almost identical to this stuff. So it's not miraculous. But it's definitely a competitive flavor with the big guns. I am giving it 5 stars for value and convenience-- I LOVE not having to fish a bevy of string-less bags out of my gallon container, but just use a spatula to pluck out one big one. And 96 gallons for about 21 bucks is a fantastic savings! Tetley costs about $4.50 for 80 bags, so you get about 8-10 gallons from a box, or 45 cents a gallon at best. These provide identical flavor value for about .22 cents a gallon and it's just easier to make-- a no brainer!I have made it as recommended, where you boil the bag and make a concentrate and then add water. And I have made it by just throwing a bag in a gallon of warmish water and letting it cool on the counter and then I put it in the fridge overnight, removing the bag and adding sweetener in the morning. I actually prefer the flavor from the latter method, and it's just easier. I have nothing but good things to say about the fair value and ease of use of these bags-- but if you normally buy higher-end black tea bags, you're not going to find the flavor of these to be extra-special, but in fact, standard good quality.
