I think this tea is mento to eat for full benefit. I put mine in morning smoothie in blender and love energy without having large tea leaves to eat as blender breaks them up so I cannot really detect them.

The leaves are edible and nutritious. Yes, the leaves can be consumed too.Best,NathanEatGreenTea

I mix it with water or juice then drink lots of water during the day. I always have some clumps which I just throw away...just drink what is mixed!

Hello, No I don't, you don't need to do it. But you should know that you cant leave the tea leaves into hot water more than 3 minutes. so, I serve one cup of tea and the water level goes under the basket, and you dont need to remove it, but if you are going to carrie it It would be better if you dispense the used leaves, you can put the basket again, the water goes through the basket.

Since the water comes out hot, you can add the amount of sugar that you want before you start making the drink. I have not had any problems with it dissolving. You can also use a liquid sweetener if you desire (such as agave).

Sort of late jumping in here but for new searchers with same question, this can be used as a foliage feed. What I usually do is spray leaves till good and wet on a day when the sun won't dry it up too fast or toward the end of the day. Then pour some around the soil so the roots can get a drink with what is left.

Yes you can. I mix it with both hot water and milk. When mixing with water I noticed I needed to use more mix to fulfill the flavor.

I prefer the leaves as it seems to give a better flavor and I can control how strong I want my tea to be. I found that storing it in the freezer and putting just enough for a week in a sealed glass jar works. If you put too much in the jar, it will lose some of its flavor after a while. So best to store the majority of the leaves in your freezer. It is soooo good!

Eat it in one bite until you are comfortable with the liquid center. I'veVe never tried it in coffee

I would not mix it with water. I have mixed it with a smoothie but with my fast paced lifestyle I just shoot it. It has a fruity taste so it is not too bad.

Hi, I spoon the loose leaves into the pot and boil for a few minutes. Then I strain and refill with water and make a second brew. You can also use a tea infuser if you like. The beautyof this tea is that overboiling it doesn't produce the bitter tanins that are associated with regular green and black teas. Enjoy.

The formulator said to mix it with 20-24 ounces of water, letting it rehydrate for a few hours before you drink it. I mix mine in a glass jar with pure spring water and put it in the refrigerator while it rehydrates. Then divide it up into three and drink three times a day.

I have never done this. I take it every morning with warm water. It may not be good to have it in hot water.

I add it to my herbal tea. Just put it in the cup and then add tea. This helps it ti dissolve better.

My daughter says mix with hot water and add a drop of bergamot oil. Tastes more like Earl Gray tea.

How fresh are your tea leaves? Make sure that you are addressing the right problem. The kettle is mostly a convenient heat sorce. Also, be sure to use good quality water-- not the stuff that comes out the tap. Invest in a picture filter and remember to change the filter on a regular schedule. I find that when I use a fresh premium tea and filtered water, my tea always taste better.If all else fails, the golden rule to getting a stronger tea is simply to steep longer. I like to steep the heck out of my leaves and I find that this kettle makes it easy to do so.I hope this helped :D How fresh are your tea leaves? Make sure that you are addressing the right problem.
