Tazo offers a line of ready made, bottled iced teas that correspond to their packaged for home brewing varieties. I have purchased several varieties and found the Awake to be a great alternative to the morning cup of coffee. I prefer to drink cold beverages anyway, and want to take advantage of the anti-oxidant benefits of tea, so this kind of fills all those needs. I haven't tried brewing and chilling, but after reading the other review it is a really great idea to do so, because I found the bottled version to be very costly per serving. I had to use it as a treat rather than a regular part of the daily routine. The only complaint that I have, and it didn't affect flavor or aroma in the slightest, was that the tea was somewhat cloudy in appearance. I wonder if it were fresh brewed instead of bottled if that would resolve itself as a problem. I did really like the naturalness of the product, and the taste is kind of distinctive-meaning I could sort it out from similar products if you blindfolded me. Believe me-making it yourself is alot more budget friendly than the bottled version that I tried which was almost $2 per serving....
