Making DIY loaded teas
Green instant tea powder is a common base for homemade loaded teas because it dissolves in cold water and the strength is set by the spoonful, so you control both the tea flavor and the caffeine in every cup. A sample packet is enough to test a few recipes before committing to a full pouch. See the Loaded Tea Zone for recipes.
Ready for the full size? Shop the Original Blend Green Instant Tea 4.5 oz pouch, which makes about 200 servings.
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!
