This tea is nothing special, but if you like to go through a lot of sweet tea this is a pretty economical way to do so.

The first time I made this tea I brewed it for 5 minutes and found it really bitter, astringent, and just unrefreshing. Even at three minutes it’s a bit more bitter than I feel it should be, but a friend of mine gave me a trick for fixing this in cheap tea : add a pinch of baking powder.

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who wants to drink unsweetened iced tea as the flavor is pretty bland and bitter, but if you want to make sweet tea on the cheap and keep some baking powder at hand this tea will do fine.
