Zest 135-150mg High Caffeine Energy Leaf Blends - Variety Mini Sampler Pack - Black Tea & Green Tea - 6 Tea Bags - Natural Strong Flavored Healthy Coffee Alternative Highly Caffeinated Keto Substitute

Edited: updated to 5 stars due to user error. I was using my Keurig to produce hot water, but it appears it just wasn’t hot enough to steep well. I put the water in the microwave until I saw visible boiling, ensuring the water was hot enough, then put the tea bags in for the prescribed time frames. This produced substantially better flavor profile that matched the smell.All of the tea packets smelled AMAZING and I wwas so excited to try them and replace my zero calorie energy drinks with tea.I was severely disappointed, and so was my girlfriend. The tea was basically flavorless to the both of us. I tried steeping it for longer to maybe get more flavor as well, but that just made it taste… bad? Bitter? But still without any flavor that was purported to be a “best new tea”.I bought it primarily for caffeine, so I did feel like it had some effect in that regard. But that’s about it.

It tastes good and gives a nice afternoon perk.

I have tried the zest teas before but I wanted to try other flavors too. The chai one is great, a little spicy to wake you up in the morning!

I ordered this tea because I made my new years resolution to stop energy drinks. The issue for me is that I have an embarrassingly high caffeine tolerance- a double shot might help me a bit, but I'll still be exhausted, and espresso goes right through me. I'm an avid tea drinker, but even assam black tea doesn't give me the slightest buzz. I ordered this after looking for high caffeine teas online and overwhelmingly good reviews.Having the tea for the first time was definitely strange- You feel more awake, but not the same kind of awake you get from coffee or energy drinks, I'm guessing because of the lack of added sugar and other stimulants. It's a very natural 'awake' feeling, as opposed to a wired feeling.As for the taste of the tea, I have only tried the ones in the variety pack- to be honest, they all kind of tasted the same. Kind of strong menthol-y undertones. I use sweetener with mine and it tastes fine. I wouldn't say it's stellar, but I'm buying it for the caffeine, not for the flavor.

I bought this pack to try out the different flavors, but it only came with 1 bag of each, instead of 2, so I only received 4 total tea bags. I tried to reach out to the seller, but got absolutely no where. Not a big deal to me though, I was still able to try the tea. Flavors were good, just not really the tea I'm looking for.

I like the taste on them all. They have a good boost too. I just sip on it over a period of time, to get a nice even kick.

The first thing that gets your attention is the lovely aeromatic experience. The Blue Lady and Cinnamon were my favorite. They have a great flavor. I’m trying to transition to a healthier, cost effective option over coffee and this is it. I haven’t felt any “caffeine headaches” that usually come with the sudden lack of caffeine your body is used to. This still gives me an energy boost when I need it but it seems more of a steady energy; not the rush (and subsequent crash) I get from coffee. Sometimes I drink 1 cup in the morning and another right before lunch and it’s more than enough to sustain me all day, whereas with coffee I felt like I needed a cup in my hands at all times.

Fantastic flavor!
