China Mist Bulk Loose Fiesta Fria Iced Tea - 24 CT

I was introduced to China Mist tea in a Mexican restaurant. I loved the flavor so much, that I came home and looked to buy it for myself. I bought a box through Amazon, but when I got it, the tea was not as strong or flavorful as I had in the restaurant. The restaurant sold me a package of what they had, and I compared what I had with what the restaurant gave me. The restaurant had the best. For some reason, the tea is weaker when purchased for personal use, rather than for a business to make and sell. It is excellent tea if you can find it stronger than the kind sold for personal use.

I ordered this tea hoping it would be like P.F.Chang's Fiesta Breeze tea. After reading other reviews I thought it would be perfect. It is NOT the same. It is good, but it is very different. I don't know exactly what is in this tea but it is the highest caffeine tea we have ever had. Tea doesn't normally affect me but if I drink this Fiesta Fria after about 2 I will be up until 11 or later! It's crazy stuff. Good, but don't expect P.F. Chang's.

I made this purchase because my father and my husband love this tea when we go to PF Chang's. I thought it would make a nice father's day gift. The tea itself is ok, but it's packaged in plastic bags, not tea bags. After making it, you have to filter the whole thing. It's a bit of a hassle.

This is my second box. Since I use a home iced tea maker, I cut a few pouches open at a time and store in an air tight container. You could use the whole pouch but it's a waste of tea. I put 4 rounded teaspoons in the basket with a coffee filter. I always use filtered water instead of tap water, and the clear cubes from the grocery are hugely better than tap water cubes although I usually end up using tap water cubes and the result is still great. To my taste, it doesn't need sugar. I love this tea so much that I go through a pitcher every day. I even take it and my iced tea maker on vacation. Once you've had China Mist, there is no going back to mediocre tea. This tea was what enabled me to get off the Cokes.

Holy cow, when I placed my order for 24 individual packets I assumed each packet would yield 1 gallon. Wrong. 3 Quarts. Apparently China Mist has taken a different course and screwed the customer out of that extra quart even though all the other brands that offer family size or filter pack tea bags the yield is always 1 gallon.And now for the math...1 box 24 ct China Mist shipped = $35.45. 18 gallon yield = $1.96 per gallon. Price per pound loose tea = $31.51. NEVER AGAIN. First and last purchase I make with China Mist of Arizona. Especially when their product is mediocre at best anyway. Give WALTERS BAY & COMPANY a try people. They make 4 flavors of iced tea and their price which includes shipping and is prime eligible is $30.75 and that buys you 96 1.o oz filter packs...NINETY SIX GALLONS OF TEA.Enough said. China Mist good riddance.

Good flavor but a little too subtle for me. I love the Passion Fruit flavor but decided to try something new.

I make hot tea in my coffee maker and also ice tea.I had to experiment with the correct amount to use but have it down to a science now. I use 4 teaspoons per 10 cups of water in the coffee maker. Use more or less to your taste. It's wonderful!

This is the same tea you find in higher end restaurants. I asked to buy some at a favorite restaurant and was charged $3.00 for a small bag. Buying it from Amazon is so much cheaper and is the same delicious tea.
