Stash Tea Orange Spice Black Tea 1 Ounce Iced Tea Brew Bags (Pack of 24) Individual Black Tea Bags for Use in Teapots Mugs or Cups, Brew Hot Tea or Iced Tea

NO interior box - the box pictured is the shipping carton with two bags inside. It has the normal wear and tear and scuffing of a shipping box. Since it wasn't, the green carton is not something you would want to put in your pantry. Just saying. I will have to buy a new tin or something to put the bags of tea bags in. I have never purchased it like this before. I have yet to make tea. Will be back to tell you if the quality of the tea is up to what it should be. I have used this tea for years, so I know how it should taste. Had this been a gift, I would have had to purchase another container. Just saying what is so. HOWEVER now that I know, and am prepared, if the tea is fresh when brewed, I would NOT HESITATE to purchase it again.

If it were for the flavor, I would give it five. For consistency I would give it a great big goose egg (that would be zero).I had been buying one quart bags at the supermarket and was over the moon when I came across these on Subscribe and Save. I also get Billington's Natural Demerara Sugar from S & S and use 2/3 cup to make a gallon of lightly sweetened tea. It was delicious!As I worked through the box, I began to notice something strange. Sometimes my tea tasted watery. I wasn't doing anything differently when I brewed it and I consistently put the same amount of ice into the large tumbler that goes everywhere with me. I was baffled.I make and drink a few gallons of this a week. Staying well hydrated is a must when it comes to getting through Florida's blazing hot summers. I've cut out soft drinks completely and as a cancer survivor, I prefer not to use any artificial sweeteners. Last week the answer became crystal. I was making tea in my usual manner and was suddenly struck by something odd. The bag felt funny in my hand when I took it out of the box. I held it up to the light. It didn't look right either. I broke out the digital scale that I use for weighing ingredients when I make dough. The bag weighed .5 ounce. I looked at the box. It is supposed to contain 24/1 ounces bags. Mystery solved!So I am going to go ahead and assume that these are either seconds, or that the quality control staff has been sleeping on the job. I hand over my money in good faith that I am going to get what I paid for, and not get shorted. I'm very disappointed. I purchase four other Stash products on Amazon's S & S and now I'm tempted to count the contents to ensure they contain 100 bags.Weighing the bags when I make iced tea adds another step, but it's better than drinking brown colored sweetened water.

Finally!! I have found an iced tea that I can drink without needing to add sugar!!! I like the Black Currant a lot, and I have also tried the Orange Spice (which is also good) so far. These are dead simple to brew--put one of the giant bags in a container in the fridge with water overnight, and then mix that tea concentrate in with enough water to fill 1 gallon the next day. Easy peasy! You can do it with boiled water, too (especially if you are in a hurry), but I like the lazy way ;) This is now my go-to way to make iced tea at home. They are not as strong in the caffeine department I don't think, tho, so you may need to drink more than usual if that is a concern. I seem to need to, anyway. But flavor-wise these are a total winner in my book. I am really happy to have a non-bitter tasting tea to drink! I have been trying to cut sugar and iced tea is a weakness of mine ;)

To 1 gallon ice cream pail, add ⅔ gallon water and 1 oz. tea. Cover and let steep in refrigerator over night (9-10 hours). Remove tea bag. Add sugar to taste (I use 1 cup). Pour into 1 gallon jug with enough extra water to fill. Drink with ice. Add ½ gallon water and the used tea bag to pail and let steep several days in the refrigerator. Add sugar but not water. With its hint of lemon, Stash's Moroccan Mint makes an outstanding iced tea, and an excellent hot tea.I would add a picture, but it just looks like tea. Perhaps a picture of me smiling and satisfied?

I order this regularly and always have some ready to drink in the frig. Visitors often ask where I get such good tasting tea. I empty a bag into my ice tea brewing machine (Hamilton Beach) and allow two quarts of water to run through it (no ice). I then pour the brew equally into two half-gallon glass refrigerator pitchers and top them off for one gallon total. NOTE: Using bottled water makes a BIG difference -- the brew is clear - not cloudy, no foam - and it stays fresh days longer. The company's directions call for boiling the bag, but I found that makes a weak batch.

With the summer approaching, I knew I couldn't have my 5pm hot tea forever - I needed something cold and refreshing! I don't drink sodas (well, I don't drink anything that contains carbonated water, sweetener and artificial flavoring), so I decided to try to brew my own ice tea. My husband was a bit skeptical, since he never brew cold tea before, but accepted to try it out.We went with the 24 packs Stash Tea Meyer Lemon Blossom Herbal Tea, and we love it! It's really easy to make (just let the bag sleep in the water overnight and diluite the resulting tea the day after), and with 1 bag we make something like 3 gallons tea! The flavor is really good - with no need to add sugar/sweetener! We offered it to our guests, and also the most picky liked it the way it was. It's really refreshing, a great treat during the hot summer.We already finished and repurchased the 24/1 ounce pack - it's our new summer must!

Heave licorice after-taste while I expected more of a tropical fruit blend. The second time, I mixed this tee with some cold brew tea bags to diinish the licorce taste.In addition, packaging is not desirable as the individual packets are not individually wrapped -- how long will this remain fresh?

This tastes interesting, but it wasn't what I was expecting - which was black currant flavored tea. Think like what is served at Corner Bakery, or available from a host of other brands. This creates a flavored beverage, but no underlying tea flavor, and the black currant is obviously tempered with some other flavors to make it more of a berry mixture. If you were looking for the same flavor as Twinings but in a gallon size, this will not work for you.
