Zest Energy Tea Bags – Blue Lady Passion Fruit Black Tea – High Caffeine Tea for Morning Energy, Focus & Clarity – Natural Caffeinated Tea with 150mg Caffeine – 20Ct Pack – Non-GMO & Keto Friendly

Put your sneakers on BEFORE you drink your first cup or you'll run out the door barefoot! Lol! What a surprise I've had within the last 24 hrs! During the last 3 years I became hooked on coffee, ending up grinders, subscriptions, higher prices, a 24 hr day of sipping black coffee habit and decided to give tea a try again. I laughed to myself thinking, I'll never wake up again, how could tea beat strong black coffee? I received this bag yesterday, and as I ripped open my expensive light little bag of tea bags, I thought surely, I got dooped by false claims, I know tea, well apparently I don't! I brewed my first tea bag, in 8 oz of water, in a glass jar that goes with me everywhere all day. Tasted great, from the start I thought this will be different, something about it. Let me tell you, not only did I wake up, I was super annoying I'm sure, get ready since your family or friends will be surprised! Even my little doggies were confused with the whirlwind of activity, worked through my list, completed big projects and had energy left to look at the stars till late. Wow, I want that same energy every day, who doesn't?? I ended up adding more water, 16 oz in total. NO jitters, or afternoon coffee crash, stayed sharp for 10 hrs. I was overwhelmed with my own list and needed to find that one tiny extra bit of energy to do it and found it? How about that! For now anyway, I am happy with that wonderful sense of accomplishment and looking forward to doing it again today. These tea bags are pricey but worth every penny. If you can relate, try it, you'll be smiling too!

Great taste and super caffeinated

This stuff is excellent, tastes like a good black tea with a light fruitiness, no hint of any weirdness from the caffeine at all. A great alternative to coffee. It does seem to need hot water, so to ice it I steep in boiling water and pour over a bigger cup of ice.

Gives me the extra energy I need to get moving.

After trying this tea, I've seriously decided to never drink highly caffeinated drinks again.. at least for a while. First of all, I know caffeine doesn't exactly work WITH our bodies to help give us organic and lasting energy, and it can either give you headaches or rebound headaches. There are many reasons why people love caffeine but there are also reasons why it drains our minds and bodies... This caffeinated tea made me so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open! My health situation is not typical, but I'm always looking for natural ways to enhance my cognition, energy, and general wellbeing. I deal with chronic fatigue and chronic pain, and caffeine is actually very counterintuitive in terms of addressing those important issues. But I chose to ignore that glaring fact this time. When I saw this Blue Lady Energy Tea by Zest Tea, I was enticed. I went back to look at it a few times before taking the leap. I was hopeful, and I was also being lazy by imagining that more caffeine would be somehow helpful to me. I love tea and herbal tea in particular, so I thought that at the least, I'd enjoy the taste and experience of drinking this one. I opened the bag.. and whoosh. This indescribably rich, super sweet, fruity scent filled my nostrils and my eyes widened immediately. Whoa. This tea smells incredible and full of zest. As i continued inhaling the potent aroma with my nose in the bag, I began to feel a little lightheaded and actually got a headache. This tea is extreeeemely aromatic and sweet, which made me a bit uncomfortable, because I tend to look for the most natural products I can. And this intense scent didn't seem all that natural to me, despite the fact that there are actually natural ingredients in here. I sometimes get specific headaches from strong smells, like chemical perfumes or cleaning products. This tea definitely smelled great, and mouth watering, but it was a little too great in my opinion. Since I've begun cutting down on sugar more and more, I really notice the super sweet things. Although it may sound weird, this tea made me super drowsy and sleepy. I'm not just blaming the tea, I think it's just due to the high caffeine content. The caffeine just didn't jibe well with my system, which has happened before. It did taste good, although once again it almost tasted too good to be true. I don't know what all of the "natural flavors" consist of, but wow it packs a punch. I believe most people will enjoy this tea, but the thing that kept bugging me was the glue. There is a small oval shaped spot of glue that attaches the square paper on the end of the string to the actual teabag. All the teabags are loose in the larger, resealable blue bag. So it makes sense to not get the strings all tangled up. But it also means I'm drinking a small smount of adhesive... and the paper part easily falls into my mug... which has more gluey stuff on it. It's not like a big gluey clump or anything big. I think most people wouldn't care too much about it. But because of my health issues, I really don't care for ingesting even small amounts of weird, synthetic ingredients like glue. It's probably not going to harm me too much, but I just can't help being very conscious about it every time I sip the tea or detach the paper from the bag. I can SEE the subtle oval glue marks. If you're looking for a caffeine high without having to drink coffee, and you like sweet, bold tasting teas, this one is definitely all that. The floral, super fruity, lively smell is so intoxicating that it gave me a headache, and the taste is definitely delicious, but it put me to sleep in an uncomfortable way. My body just felt weird from drinking it. So you can see why it wasn't the best choice for me. But it may work fine for you. It could become your new favorite tea, although I generally prefer the much cheaper bulk tea leaves. Whatever you decide, if you do get this, I still hope you enjoy it. ♡ Update: I've grown to like this tea. Its fragrance and strong floral taste is hard to avoid. Early in the day, when I lack energy, I usually avoid too much caffeine simply because a crash is too much for me.. but I've gotten used to this tea and its zippinessn and I don't mind it anymore. I take L-theanine and Ashwagandha and other very grounding supplements that work synergistically with this delicious tea.

Excellent!!! Better than coffee. I love it. The Blue Lady tastes like Lipton’s tea. But it has a cool, distinct “blue” aroma and light taste. I would recommend this tea to anyone and I have recommended to a few friends who love it.

I've found something that gives me energy! Coffee gave me nothing. Plus, as I aged coffee was bothering my stomache; even cold brew. So I changed to drinking tea. Tetley Orange Pekoe is my favourite tea by far. But this Zest Tea tastes good, although fruity like, but more importantly for me, gives me energy. More on flavor and my energy experience at the last of my review. The shape of the tea bag is perfect for brewing. The tag releases easily. Just be gentle. I've never had a bag rip. These people that have commented about the bag tearing must be ripping at the tag like a monster. The tea bag "fabric" itself is stronger than a paper tea bag, yet more translucent. So, this is how I've learned to like the flavor better. I have found that I prefer it best by adding 2 little pieces of a Hershys milk chocolate bar into the hot water, (stir it in), before adding the tea bag. I brew it for 5 minutes and then add a little bit of milk. I drink one cup of this tea and follow up with one cup of Tetley. I did try having two cups of Zest for a couple of days, but it's pricey so I went back to drinking just one a day. This is how it has affected my energy level. I have more energy in the full 24-hour-day, not just after the few hours following my tea-time. Absoluteley no jitters OR heart palpitations even on the days when I tried two Zest cupfuls and one cup of my regular tea. (In the earlier years of my life, 20-45 yrs. old, I was very prone to heart palpitations.) I am now 62. Go figure. I'd say, give it a try. I'm sure that like everything else we take into our bodies, it affects each individual differently. And as I mentioned, in the aging process our reaction/experience can be totally contrary to when we were younger. This review is from myself, a woman who was diagnosed with bi-polar and clinical anxiety/depression decades ago. I hope this helps some people out there!

This tea gives the kick I need without the coffee jitters. It also has a wonderful flavor also!

Super Produkt. Hält lange munter ohne zu sehr aufzuregen.

Nice tasting tea and good pick me up

Not a researched product.

Von diesem Produkt bin ich wirklich sehr enttäuscht! Zum einen schmeckt dieser Blend garnicht und zum anderen hat er auch nichtmal eine Wachmachende Wirkung! Schade, dafür ist diese Produkt maßlos überteuert! Sehr ärgerlich …

Stale smelling when opened, so dry the tea turned to dust, didn't brew properly.
