Someone was giving away samples of this at a local flea market recently. I’d never even heard of “Steeped Tea” as a company, so I had to google it. Looks like it’s basically Epicure but with loose tea. I’ve never been much into those home party business gimmick sales dealios, but I admit to buying random jars of Epicure.
I can’t see me entertaining the notion of doing it with tea though, seems cheap somehow. Like, where does all this tea even come from? I guess I can’t help but compare it to Body by Vi and other ridiculous empty promise pyramid schemes. Soooo negative connotations over here, clearly!
Anyway, this wasn’t half bad, I cold brewed my sample. It was moderately strawberry tasting but pretty hibiscus heavy. The dry leaf smelled freakin amazing though.
I cannot see myself seeking these teas out anytime soon. Though it’s kind of neat that this company exists, as far as getting the word of “loose tea” out to the masses!

Yeah I have several of their teas and was even asked if I wanted to become a consultant for them, but something just holding me back. I find their teas are really hit and miss as to whether they’re great or not. I just couldn’t take the plunge. I think I agree with you. It almost does seem to… cheapen it a bit.
And would you believe I woke up this morning and someone on Facebook had invited me to a Steeped Tea group as they just started selling it?! Hilarious timing, considering I hadn’t heard of it until I googled it while writing this review.
I’ve tried a few and was always disappointed so I don’t want to bother with them any more. The idea of doing tea-parties, like they used to do with candle parties, just seems so outdated when we can order online. ALso, when we can swap teas in this group to try things out!
