Common questions
What is the difference between the blueberry black and blueberry green tea?
The black version is light-bodied black tea with subtle fruity blueberry. The green version is lightly bittersweet green tea with a more earthy blueberry character. Both are unsweetened with the same caffeine per serving.
Is blueberry tea sweet?
Not on its own. There is no added sugar, so the blueberry comes through as fruit flavor rather than sweetness. Add honey, lemon, or your preferred sweetener to taste.
How much caffeine is in a serving?
Approximately 35 mg per 1/4 teaspoon, the same as Waka's other black and green instant teas.
Can I make iced blueberry tea?
Yes. For the cleanest result, dissolve in a little hot water first, then top with cold water and ice. If mixing straight into cold water, stir vigorously or use a frother. It also works in smoothies, loaded teas, and mixed beverages.
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.
