I really like the taste of the pure black tea in this but only because it is balanced so well with the lemonade. I would say this is more of a lemon flavored black iced tea (not too much lemonade in it) but it works great. I added a packet of sugar to cut the tartness a little, but it is not so sugary as to overwhelm my palate and detract from the flavor or to dominate the tea flavors either. I don’t think Starbucks specializes in iced teas or anything, so this seems like a beautiful accident. Plus, I’ll generally reach for a cold drink before a hot drink, so this worked out well for me.
This is You :-D

UPDATE: As of 2020, we have sold Steepster to Adagio Teas. Going forward, we will not have any involvement in the operation or development of Steepster but believe it to be in good hands. If you have any questions or urgent issues, please contact michael@adagio.com.
I’m one of the original creators of Steepster!
My favorites are greens and oolongs but I’m open to pretty much anything (although I’m still working my way through pu-erh). Either way, any tea that expands my tastes, teaches me something, or promotes a love of tea is a winner in my book.
