Making DIY loaded teas
Pineapple green tea is a common tropical base for homemade loaded teas. 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. At about 20 servings, one packet is enough to test several recipes before buying a full pouch. See how to choose a loaded tea base and the Loaded Tea Zone for recipes.
Common questions
How many cups does one sample packet make?
About 20 at the recommended 1/4 teaspoon. The full-size 4.5 oz pouch makes about 200.
How does it compare to the mango green tea?
Both are tropical flavors on the same green tea base with identical caffeine per serving. The pineapple is bittersweet and earthy with a sharper tropical note; the mango is bittersweet with a rounder, juicier one.
Is pineapple green tea sweet?
No. There is no added sugar, so the pineapple comes through as tropical fruit flavor rather than sweetness. Add sugar or honey to taste.
How much caffeine is in a serving?
Approximately 35 mg per 1/4 teaspoon, roughly a third of a cup of drip coffee.
Is this pineapple green tea powder a good way to try the flavor before buying the full pouch?
Yes. This 0.45 oz packet is the same tea as the full-size 4.5 oz pouch and makes about 20 cups, enough to try the pineapple flavor and test a few recipes before you choose the full-size pouch.
How do I mix pineapple green tea powder in cold water or a bottle?
Add about 1/4 teaspoon to a glass or bottle of cold water and stir vigorously or use a frother. For the cleanest result, dissolve it in a little hot water first, then add cold water and ice.
Can I use this pineapple instant tea at the office or while traveling?
Yes. It is a 0.45 oz travel packet, and the powder dissolves with no steeping or tea bags, so all you need is a mug and water.
Ready for the full size? Shop the Pineapple 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!
