After being a huge fan of Celestial Seasonings Zinger blends for making iced tea for a couple years now, and feeling it was better than juice, I finally made the switch to buying bulk, loose leaf, organic tea & couldn’t be happier! I currently have raspberry leaf & spearmint, with hibiscus & a citrusy blend coming next week, all caffeine free, and all organic. It was my only New Year’s resolution this year, and I’m so thrilled to have made the switch already. The teas I’ve bought so far are ~$10/#, and 1# is A LOT of tea. So it’s economical & environmentally friendly as there’s very little packaging, just the bag it comes in! Do you know what’s in your tea?! Credit to Food Babe for the chart.

Excellent questions! The thread from FB has some more info on where I get mine. I use reusable cotton tea bags, which I also got at my food co-op. I boil a huge pot of water, turn it off, put 3 of the bags in, cover it & let it steep over night, then put it in the fridge. I add 1/4 cup of organic raw sugar, it’s a tiny amount for the size pot I make, but it adds just enough sweetness for our liking. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=864134066935568&id=397517646930548
