Hot tea, cold tea, or both? Opinions anyone??

I drink the tea hot, but I do not see any reason why it can't be cold. It has a very good flavor.

Yes, what I use it for. I have a pitcher that I can pour the hot tea into & add ice or just refrigerate.

The container says its your own preference. Milk or water. I use hot water more so. You can even make ICE CHAI with it ,which I like in the summertime ;-p

I think so. Usually I will do that if I forget my cup somewhere and the tea gets cold. I just add ice and keep sipping.

I would wait till the tea cools down a little. You want the Moringa raw, don't hear it past 110 degrees

I don't know....I don't think it would taste very good for starters. The taste is tangy, not sweet. It has a bite to it...kind of like 7Up. I think as long as the tea was just warm, and not HOT that the bemeficial properties would remain intact though. Some such things basically die (for lack of a better word) in heat.I just add mine to a little bit of water (like about half an inch of a bottle of water) and then shake and drink right before bed. (I can't handle much liquid before sleep or I'll up running to bathroom all night.)

You can use it for any hot (or cold) liquid, tea works just fine. With tea I do find that I usually need to let the tea cool down a bit with the lid off before I can drink it but once it's to the right temperature it will keep the temperature hot for a decent amount of time with the lid back on.

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: i am trying it literally as I am typing this since that idea never came to me. the tea is very light in color so in the future i might mix it with other tea(s). But it does taste good. No off-notes of any kind

When I want to make tea for ice tea, I pour warm to hot water in the pitcher with the tea bags or loose tea and let it steep. So, yes, you can use it for warm to hot drinks. I pour in hotter water more slowly. I also have left the pitcher with loose tea in the sun to make sun tea.

I never tried it, but that would make sense if you want to avoid getting those grounds out afterwards. On the other hand, the reason for using mr. Tea is because you would have loose tea and needed something to hold the tea in. However, I do like your idea, so I will go try it right now, and write my results here (in the meantime, please listen to some pleasant music, haha)........Okay I'm back. I put a tea bag in it, steeped it for 3 min. and it worked perfectly. One bit of advice: Rinse the mr.T under cold water before opening him and getting the tea bag out, otherwise it will be too hot. So either wait till it cools or cold water rinse.

Either method will work. I prefer loose leaf for natural flavor. The first pot is to wash "remove any unwanted substance in the tea leaf". Enjoy the 2nd and 3rd pot.

I have used the Hot chocolate kcups, not a tea drinker. Make a great cup of coffee.

I heat water for tea every day in the microwave. You have to be aware that if you put cold water on a very hot glass cup, or hot into a very cold cup, that it might break, but I haven't had any break yet from that. It's only been my clumsiness by dropping them that has broken them.

You can drink it hot or cold - the sample menu of drink options included with the directions tells you how to make either hot or cold drinks (including a good ol' fashioned cup of hot coffee). I find that you may want to play with the proportions they suggest to get a given drink just the way you like it. And I found that pretty easy to do for myself. :-)

I let my tea steep a while in the water for the medicinal properties. I think local honey is better than sugar but it depends on personal preference. I learned a lot watching Susun Weed and Rosemary Gladstar on youtube.com and by just doing basic research on the internet. My herb tea has been a great replacement for coffee!

By "hot" I mean it is too hot to drink without burning my mouth (at first), and a few hours later it means too hot to drink without masochistic discomfort. Don't know about cold - haven't tried. WHOOPS! I thought you were asking about the Thermos bottle I purchased at about the same time. I have not been concerned about the bag's ability to keep items hot or cold. Sorry.

Depends on temp of water the flowers are dehydrated so the hotter the tea seems to be the faster it opens. I like a lot of flavor so prefer to let it take its time.
