Any instant teas any good? Or all bad? (2026 Update)

well... not really instant since you still have to stir for about a minute, teabags are close to instant, dont have to stir either, maybe squeeze a little

IMO: not good and not good for you. Shen

Yes...seems like I also heard that instant tea was unhealthy.

But why? What make sit so? I can't remember.

instant * = awful

Instancy makes it unhealthy! Look no further..

I actually thought the process of how they make the instant tea from this tea documentary I saw (modern marvels) was quite interesting. I wonder how they make the tea to begin with, if they use tea bags or loose tea. Hmmmmmmm.....

No No....not the reason. Preservatives and additives are bad for you. Hey, if it is *all* tea, then its good. But the processing, additives, etc make it not good, and you lose the healthful aspect of the tea.

Check up the USDA study here... (last paragraph of the page)

The lower quality the tea leaves, the more processing. The more processing, the less nutrients.

Check out the NIH study on toxic effects of "instant tea". Shen

More convenient = chemical additives and/or increased factory processing, both of which are not always good for you, to put it mildly.

Just as herbals have it over on new prescription medications in at least one respect: some have been around for centuries, and so the side- effects and contradidications are well known.

ok... more health talk, ... ugh....

more importantly: instant tea tastes like S*IT.

YES!!
