I drink tea more than I drink water and when I don't have the time (or the drinking vessel) for loose leaf tea, this is a great alternative! The taste is great and it truly makes me feel healthier! A word of caution for green tea drinkers: don't wait for the water to boil - the trick is to pour the water in just as the boiling is about to start, otherwise you may burn the tea leaves, giving them a chalky and unpleasant taste.
