Best Iced Tea everNov 17, 2006
By M. Heltsley I have been using Sportea now for only 6 months or so. I have been buying in bulk to save on cost and have noticed that my 2 quarts/day 5 or more times a week really do make me feel better, sort of. It is not like caffeine or sugar as it does not make you hyped up only to crash later. It is more like a smooth constant boost. It does not come on strong so I did not notice it at first. However I can tell the difference now, as can my wife, when I drink a bottle of it and when I do not. When I do I have more stamina and energy, not in great amounts, just enough to be noticeable.
But what I really like is that it is not soda, it is not plain water and it does not have caffeine, sugar or high fructose corn syrup in it. No taurine or other engergy drink additives, just good satisfying cold tasty tea.
The taste is widely variable. If you find that you do not like it try to leave it "steeping" for a differnt amount of time. I have found that I like it best between 6-9 hours in the fridge. That is another thing do not steep if not in the fridge, it will taste bad look funny if you do. Steeping longer than 10 hours also makes it bitter and mellows out some of the better flavors, so if you don't like your tea bitter and tasteless do not leave the tea bag in more than 10 hours. Any less than 4 hours and the flavor is barely even there at all. 4-5 hours and there is a stronger flavor but weak color and weak overall flavor, meaning that some of the flavor has leached out but not all of it. Between 6 and 8 hours seems like the sweet spot, sometimes I do it overnight and it goes for 9 hours and it is still OK, but I pull the bag out as soon as I can when I get up.
I have taken this hiking, camping, climbing, kayaking, etc. As long as it is prepared right and the bag is removed it will keep its flavor as long as it does not get too warm, so I have found that it works best to use it within the first day out if you plan to use it outdoors. Then again maybe you prefer it warm, it is a whole different taste.
I also do not encourage you to use hot water on the cold bags, it always seems to taste aweful when I make it hot. I have not tried the hot bags, as they are smaller they may mellow the bad taste of this tea when hot. I don't know, but I suggest not using the big bag for hot tea.
Thats about all I can say for this. I would be happy if it also included some of the grean tea properties of staving off hunger, but sadly to say this has had no effect on my appetite. It does howover seem to relax me, probably more of a comfort thing at this point though. It also really does quench my thirst better than other drinks for better or worse. I cannot comment on it nutritious value except that it does have good stuff in it and as far as I can tell no bad stuff.
Tasty healthy tea!Jan 06, 2009
By A. Kelley This stuff is wonderful! It's super easy to brew - just add cold water and leave it in the fridge and that's it! It's naturally sweet so you don't even need to add sugar and trust me, I add sugar to *everything*. It's also very healthy for you. I'm surprised it's not more popular! It's served at Alterra Coffee but this stuff should be picked up by Starbucks. ;)

Sportea is the answer to a healthy daily drink. It is the only thirst-quenching, great tasting drink/tea that I can drink all day and not get the adverse effects you get from a can of soda or regular caffine-loaded iced tea. It has ZERO calories, very little caffine, ZERO calories, lots of electrolytes and vitamin C, ZERO calories, a sweet refreshing hint-of-citrus flavor, and ZERO calories! I Drink about a gallon a day, so I am a big fan. I just wish they would bottle it!
(SPORTEA JUNKIE TIP: take a large cup, like a big-gulp cup, and put a Sportea Iced tea bag in the bottom, cover with some ice and add water to the top. Let the Sportea steep for about 15 min. and then you are ready for guilt free sipping all day. yum....:)
