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. Pomegranate's tangy profile pairs with berry and citrus combinations. Recipes are in the Loaded Tea Zone.
Is pomegranate green tea sweet?
Not on its own. There is no added sugar, so the pomegranate reads as tangy fruit against bittersweet green tea. 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 unflavored green and black instant teas.
How do I make pomegranate 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.
What does pomegranate green tea powder taste like?
Bittersweet green tea with subtle notes of juicy, tangy pomegranate.
Is pomegranate green tea powder kosher?
Yes, it is certified by the OU. It is also GMO Free with no gluten added.
Is instant pomegranate tea the same as brewed tea?
No. Instant tea is a soluble powder that dissolves without tea bags, steeping, or brewing, while brewed tea is steeped from leaves or tea bags. Waka Pomegranate Green is made from 100% premium green tea leaves.
How much pomegranate tea powder do I use per mug?
The serving size is 1/4 teaspoon per mug, and the 4.5 oz pouch 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!
