Zuidelijke ijsthee zwart

Steeped a full ounce for exactly 5 minutes before pouring over ice, and the tea came out perfectly smooth with a deep flavor. For a half gallon, I used the recommended amount and the taste was consistent—no bitterness at all. This is my new go-to for a quick, strong iced tea.

First pitcher came out smooth and not bitter at all—one ounce really does stretch to half a gallon, which is perfect for our Sunday cookouts. Steeped it in a cup of hot water first, then diluted, and it was ready in under ten minutes. This is my new go-to for summer.

Made my first pitcher this weekend and the half-gallon ratio is spot on—one ounce gave me a strong, smooth brew that didn't turn bitter overnight. The leaves hold up well even when I steep them a bit longer than I planned.
