Tremendous value

My Wife is what she freely identifies as a 'tea snob'. Loves many of the expensive, exclusive brands (though not all). She likes this, bargain basement priced, tea. Good on its own or blended with something else to make something unique to you. Enjoy!

Mild & smooth, great for over night cold brew.

I steep overnight while adding some orange, lemon and other fruit for subtle flavoring. After straining I toss the tea outside in the garden.

Great tasting iced, doesn't turn murky

We brew tea by the pitcher to drink iced, and nearly all black tea turns murky after sitting a little while, even when I'm careful to cool it slowly, but this tea doesn't.

Greatest Tea ever!

I have ordered my loose-leaf black tea from Monterey Bay for a while now because I'm sure of their dedication to purity in their products.

Black tea

I bought this loose leaf black tea to make my kombucha but then made a pitcher of iced tea and it is good tasting & no bitter aftertaste. I will buy it again.

Good basic black tea... I use for Kombucha brew

This is just a good basic black tea for any use, but my primary use is for my bi-weekly batch of Kombucha, which I use for my smoothie base during those two weeks. The tea quality is good, as is the price. I typically brew 1/3c of black tea and 2C sugar in a gallon of water, which then goes into my "everlasting" Kombucha container [a horizontal 3 gallon water container with a spigot and a wide mouth top]. I drain off the Kombucha bi-weekly into a gallon container for smoothie use [~8oz/day], and the cooled batch of sweet tea goes into the Kombucha container via a stainless steel funnel with a built-in strainer, then a paper towel with a rubber band over the top mouth to keep open to air, but filter contaminants. When the SCOBY gets too think, the top wide mouth is big enough to get my hand in and pull out the thick SCOBY, which gets blended and spread out on the garden. No refrigeration, no secondary fermentation, and takes about 5 minutes every other week, and the Kombucha pot been going for many years. And the supplement mix that goes into my daily smoothie contains many bulk items from HerbCo [weighed into a 90day mix to spoon into the blender], along with whatever is growing on the farm at the time, then into the Blendtec blender [skins and all]. Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming when you get it down to a routine... and like making stuff and figure out how to do it with the least amount of redundant work.

Nice bold taste for iced tea made cold brew style

Nice bold taste for iced tea made cold brew style. I also add some additional to my chai tea for a bit stronger taste.
