Common questions
How many cups does one packet of Classic Black tea powder make?
About 20 at the recommended 1/4 teaspoon per mug. The full-size 4.5 oz pouch makes up to 200 servings.
How do I mix black tea powder in cold water or a bottle?
Add about 1/4 teaspoon to a glass or bottle of cold water and stir vigorously or use a frother. For the cleanest result, dissolve it in a little hot water first, then add cold water and ice.
Can I use this instant tea at the office or while traveling?
Yes. It is a 0.45 oz travel packet, and the powder dissolves with no steeping, tea bags, or equipment, so all you need is a mug and water.

Our tea powder is concentrated, requiring just a small amount to make your tea. Use 1/4 tsp for one serving (8 fl oz) or 2 teaspoons to make a full 64 fl oz pitcher. For a gallon (128 fl oz), we recommend starting with 4 tsp of Waka tea powder. From there, feel free to adjust the flavor to suit your taste!
