Common questions
Can I use this for loaded teas?
Yes. Green tea powder is a standard 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 each drink — something tea bags and pre-mixed concentrates do not allow. Lemon works with most fruit combinations. Recipes are in the Loaded Tea Zone.
Is lemon green tea sweet?
No. There is no added sugar, so the lemon comes through as tangy citrus against the green tea rather than as sweetness. Add sugar or honey to taste.
How much caffeine is in a serving?
Approximately 35 mg per 1/4 teaspoon, the same as Waka's other green and black instant teas.
How do I make lemon iced tea?
Dissolve in a little hot water first, then top with cold water and ice for the cleanest result. If mixing straight into cold water, stir vigorously or use a frother. One pouch makes about 200 servings, so it works for pitchers.
Pour ¼ - ½ tsp of tea powder into a cup. For hot tea, add 8-10 fl oz of hot water, stir and enjoy. For iced tea, add 2 fl oz of hot water and stir. Top with 6-8 fl oz of cold water, add ice and enjoy. Visit our How to Brew page to learn more.
Store in a cool, dry place.
