I am a Pique Tea fan and have great expectations for your work to bring the world a healthier tea. I have placed two orders for Pique Tea to date. The first one was from your own Web site and it took 16 days to arrive here in Japan but the shipping charges were very reasonable. The second was via iHerb, which took 4 days and was reasonably priced, which I felt was very good service. Yesterday two friends and I did our first very informal Pique Tea tasting at a nearby coffee shop so I could hear multiple opinions. We tried the Earl Grey and the Sencha. I am not a major tea drinker but I prefer tea to coffee which I never drink. I prefer Earl Grey tea, so was looking forward to trying your version. Three of us tried the Pique Earl Grey and scored it at a final average of 61%. This is not a good score. I love your technology and you base concept of bringing better and healthier tea to the world but the Earl Grey did not have the aroma or taste of a good Earl Grey. However, I felt the quality level was high and the mouth feel very good. I have high expectations but you still need to do a lot of work in my opinion. I have had good teas in Japan that in some cases were on par with a good wine, absolutely amazing. I hope you can get to that level. We liked the Sencha much better, even though I don’t drink much green tea. It was quite drinkable and high in quality. It was liked by all of us and although it was not given an official score it would have been closer to 80% no doubt. I was disappointed in the way the crystals did not really dissolve that easily. I noticed this with the ginger which did not dissolve too easily and coagulated in the glass I was using. But I liked the spiciness and the addictive taste. Sorry I can’t say anything more favorable but I have much confidence in your ability to create great teas in the near future.

Hated flavor, need to return, loved ginger citus

Ginger citrus is overpowered by licorice flavor. I'm not a fan of licorice anyway, but hoped that it added an interesting element - it was also the last ingredient. For me, there is no flavor but licorice, sadly. I love ginger and looked forward to this tea.

Tasteless. Very disappointing quality.

Not extremely helpful in locating package or offering to ship new product. Very disappointing service.

The recommendation to use water at 170 or 180 degrees Fahrenheit makes using these products difficult for me. I used a meat thermometer to check the temperature, which took a lot of time. And I didn't like the taste of the tea. I tried both the English Breakfast and the Earl Grey. The teas are very expensive and I had to pay duty on it. I will not buy it again.

This tea is pretty pricey, and for the amount of hype, I'd have appreciated something much better. None of the seven flavors really had much flavor, and I am not someone who eats any sugars, so it wasn't a lack of sweetness. This tea just tastes like barely flavored water. I'll not recommend it to anyone. Such a waste of money.

The teas have very mild flavors.

Find it very weak ... even with less water...but will continue to drink it. A bit disappointed.

Warning- Canadians are required to pay duty taxes at pickup. Not happy about that and will probably not purchase again.
