SPORTea

Sipdown! (37 | 253)

I think I heard about this tea on Tea Leaf Project? It sounded interesting and they offer samples for $0.99 so I figured I would give it a try.

I actually had it hot yesterday, and while I enjoyed the flavor, the ginseng made it too sweet for me, so I decided to cold brew the last teabag overnight. The flavor reminds me of that bottled Brisk iced tea with lemon, but with ginseng sweetness instead of sugar. It has a sweet lemony note with a bit of tea in the background (a mix of black, green, and maté). The ginseng adds a licorice root-esque sweetness at the end of the sip, and a refreshing minerality.

I’m glad to have tried it, but it’s still a bit sweet for me, even when diluted to one teabag per 16 ounces of water.

This a really good tea for summer. I like to mix up a big jug of it, add lemon and sip through out the day for a nice pick-me-up.

I had this tea many years ago as an iced tea. I love it with mint. I also drink a lot of it warm. It’s got a lemon, honey taste. I drink so much of this tea that I order cases directly from the company.

Needed some electrolytes after a day out paddling in the sun. Refreshing and citrusy when cold brewed

I love this cold brewed! Tastes better than gatorade (no sugar!) and I can brew 1 bag in a 16oz tumbler for 24+ hrs in the fridge and it’s fine.

Trying to recover from a long day of paddling on a lake. I must not have drank enough water, because I had a headache and just felt sleepy and stupid afterwards. 12 hrs later I am rested but still sore and mentally tired :-/ had a great day in a beautiful place though!

this is very refreshing as a coldbrew!

Feeling lethargic, swollen glands, etc. This is the first tea I thought of that had vitamin C, and supposed energy boosters, so I went for it with breakfast.

I ordered one of SPORTea’s first time customer deals and LOVED it. Then I got an email telling me that they are having a promotion right now for a FREE nalgene bottle which is ironic because that is how I make SPORTea. I put one of their big cold brew bags in my full nalgene, pop it is the fridge and 4 hours later (or overnight) I have a full quart of a delicious beverage that is 100% guilt free!

This stuff is great iced. It has a green tea base with flavors of lemon and ginger. I have never really loved it hot, but I do enjoy it iced on a hot day.
