I bought these on a whim when ordering some meat & veggies bars, and I am so happy I did! When traveling or attending conferences for work, I'm often stuck with less than optimal choices as a tea drinker, even if I bring my own tea bags. Rarely is the water available at the right temp, and since I'm usually in a hurry, the chance for having under or over-steeped tea is near 100 percent. These packets are the perfect solution. The powder mixes quickly and then I can stop thinking about it and just enjoy a very pleasant mug of tea. Thanks for this innovation!
