Organic African Nectar Herbal Tea – 100 Count Biodegradable Silk Tea Bags – Rooibos-Based Caffeine-Free Blend with Sweet Tropical Flavor

I have been a user of this particular flavour from its inception, thus, in the past when Mighty Leaf reformulated this particular flavour, as users we were outraged. This outrage translated into their reverting to the original formula. My contact at PEET’s denied reformulation and repackaging, but admitted that this was ‘rebranded’, I am unclear on their definition of rebranded as the proof is in the packaging and flavour, perhaps to PEET’s rebranded does not translate into the underscored changes. After carefully researching other factors such as storing, I can attest complete compliance. We use bottled water, exercising proper sanitising when cleaning the filter with a mild detergent. The exact same methods I applied with the previous variation of the Organic African Nectar. By process of elimination all factors point to a major change in formula since I consume copious amounts of this tea. This item was repackaged and reformulated with two key ingredients missing from the updated version, that was present in the older tea. I consume my tea without artifice and this rebranded version is bereft of flavour. In my humble opinion, it is coloured water. Both the packaging and the taste have been sacrificed in the ‘rebranding’ process. This was the manufacturer’s response: “What you are seeing is our new branding. The artwork and some of the copy has changed. It’s a refresh we have done to the entire Mighty Leaf Tea line. The packaging itself has not changed and the blends have not changed. We appreciate your discerning taste. There may be differences, though small, from lot to lot. This is natural and to be expected in agricultural products. But the ingredients and their sources remain the same. The materials and facilities they are packaged in are unchanged. We evaluate every lot multiple times prior to packing. As said previously, flavoring and quality may be compromised by storage conditions”. Peet's assured me that the formulation for each tea variety has not changed and that the tea has been received very recently (4-6 weeks) and stored in a constant 65 degree temperature. There are no factors that would alter flavor. Their recommendations is as follows: 1) Proper Minerals TDS for optimum flavour 2) If municipal, a proper filter that removes chemical additives such as chlorine from the drinking water; If well, it should be tested to ensure proper filtration. 3) Establishing the most recent filter change 4) The type of soap/detergent used to clean tea-ware

This tea is wonderful. First had it at the Nordstrom cafe. I purchased some for my mother to try and she’s so enjoying it. This tea makes a great gift for a tea lover. Highly recommend!

Flavor is great.

It's so good! I can drink cup after cup and I don't ever get tired. The flavor is delicate but not boring. I like this a lot better than a chamomile, because it has just the tiniest bit more body. I love it. Only thing is it is quite an expensive tea, but I love it and drink this instead of Starbucks, so I'm saving money and feeling healthier.

We stayed at an Inn on Martha's Vineyard that featured this tea. My wife is a connoisseur of fine teas, and she fell in love with Mighty Leaf Tea - Organic African Nectar. After we got home, I ordered a box for her so we can remember our stay on the island.

My favorite tea, when I serve it everyone loves it.

One the best, if not the best, infusion teas you can buy. Superb flavor and it’s caffeine free

This is my favorite tea when I don’t want caffeine. It has the sweetness of chai, without the bitterness of the black tea. It smells delicious, it’s absolutely silky with a dollop of milk, and is great iced tea for morning, afternoon, or evening. Winter or summer, I love it.
