Straight tea?
The only way we drink tea is sweet, iced.
We never drink that herbal hemp hot stuff that you have to drink with your little pinky finger sticking out.
I am talking about a mason jar full of iced sweet tea sitting down to a big ole plate of catfish.
Just a matter of taste. I do not like sugar in hot or iced tea. I do use fresh mint from my garden in iced tea.
I buy good quality loose tea and brew it. The tea is not bitter.
