Natural Flavor NOT Artificial Flavor,
I just received a shipment of this tea (6/24/10) and notice that on the Amazon info lists the third ingredient as “Artificial flavor”, but the listing on the box says “Natural flavor” and specifically states there is no artificial flavor in it. So, don’t be put off by the Amazon listing or reviews that used that as a source for their review.

The best sun tea …. ever,
During the summer months, I enjoy iced tea and prefer to make sun tea because it’s so darn simple & energy-efficient. But finding tea that does well in the sun is difficult. The regular teas (black, green, white) become bitter when left standing too long, not surprisingly a requirement for sun tea. The herbals (fruits, chamomiles, mints) never seem to steep well in the sun and are generally bland & lack-luster. But this tea … ah, heaven. Deep, robust, sweet, well-rounded. Personally, I think it is better as a sun tea than steeped the traditional way with hot water.
This tea steeps well in morning or afternoon sun. I always use glass (never plastic) and 6 bags for about 1.5 quarts. Makes a fantastic tea in 3-4 hours, and letting it sit for a couple more hours produces a tea that definitely needs to be watered down. Needs no sugar, no lemon. Perfect as is. Awesome, just awesome. I wouldn’t go a summer without it.
I pick it up at Trader Joe’s, and occassionally I find it at Target and Wal-mart. Nevertheless, considering that shipping is included in a subscription, Amazon’s S&S price is fair and on-par with B&M retail outlets.

Tea,
I used to get this tea when at a Good Earth restaurant in California; sadly, they are no more. I was very happy to find it at Amazon. I make iced tea mostly. Very refreshing and I can drink it in the evening as it’s decaf.
