product.title

A 0.45 oz travel packet of Waka Kenyan Black Instant Tea — the same tea as the full-size 4.5 oz pouch, in a smaller size for trying it or packing for a trip. Made from 100% single-origin premium black tea leaves from Kenya. One ingredient: black instant tea. Unsweetened, with no added sugar, no artificial colors, no carriers, and no fillers. Makes about 20 cups at 1/4 teaspoon per mug, with approximately 35 mg of caffeine per serving.

  • Net weight: 0.45 oz
  • Servings: About 20 at 1/4 tsp per mug
  • Caffeine per serving: Approximately 35 mg per 1/4 tsp
  • Tasting notes: Bold, full body, with mild notes of fruitiness. Tastes like a fresh brew
  • Ingredients: Black instant tea. One ingredient.
  • Kosher: Certified by the OU. Non-GMO. No gluten added.

Kenyan black is bolder and fruitier than the Indian Classic Black, which is cleaner and brisker. A sample packet of each is the easiest way to decide which one you want in the full size.

How to make

Our tea powder is concentrated, requiring just a small amount to make your tea. Use 1/4 tsp for one serving (8 fl oz) or 2 teaspoons to make a full 64 fl oz pitcher. For a gallon (128 fl oz), we recommend starting with 4 tsp of Waka tea powder. From there, feel free to adjust the flavor to suit your taste!

Great flavor

I was worried because it was just unflavored black tea, I love black tea but I wasn't sure how it would be unflavored. I actually really love it, it's my favorite one to use in loaded teas.

My fiancé really likes it

He loves this because he’s diabetic and likes doing unsweet tea with his sugar-free sweetener. And it’s so easy for him on the go when he goes to lunch to make himself a quick cup with ice
