Matthias, Our Tea Craftsman's Inspiration for Jasper & Gold’s Royal Sweet Tea:
In response to health concerns surrounding traditional sweet tea and hot black tea, we've crafted a delicious and wholesome alternative that offers a similar taste with a more mindful approach. Our blend boasts a robust flavor profile, designed to require less added sweetener. Sweetened with organic honey and a touch of organic cane sugar, it's a guilt-free indulgence that doesn't compromise on taste. While I enjoy it hot, many prefer it chilled for a refreshing twist, and I think you will too.

“I feel like it would be super easy to enjoy this hot or iced. When it’s hot it has some pretty bold earthy flavors that are just great and iced it’s almost as if the flavor profile changes from more earthy to refreshing especially with the raw honey and cane sugar.
The flavor profile of this just feels more complete compared to teas I have bought in the store a problem I have with a lot of like store bought teas is they tend to be bitter and with this I’m not having that problem at all there is no need to overcompensate with the sweater because the tea by itself already tastes good”
