I tried the Green Tea Tropical, which was really good! The packaging didn't say how to brew the green tea, which, to my understanding, requires a lower temperature than black tea, but I don't know how to get the correct temp without a thermometer! Obviously for black tea, you boil the water and it's 212 degrees. But green tea? 190? And what about oolong and white? How do you tell? Do you wait until a certain amount of time has passed?

So this tea did benefit from the added ingredients, and yet wasn't overpowered by them. I'm looking forward to more tea like that!
