Does this have caffeine
Yes—because it contains black tea (honeybush is naturally caffeine‑free, but this blend includes black tea).

Is this sweetened or salted
No—there’s no added sweetener or salt. Sweeten to taste if you’d like.

Is this good iced
Yes—Great Lakes makes a clean, refreshing iced tea with soft honeybush sweetness.

Does this taste more like black tea or honeybush
Great Lakes leans toward smooth black tea first, with honeybush adding gentle sweetness and softness in the finish.

Is this good for people who don’t like strong black tea
Yes—this blend is intentionally “not too strong,” making it great for people who want a smoother, gentler everyday cup.

Does this blend get bitter if over‑steeped
It’s more forgiving than pure black tea. Honeybush helps keep the cup smooth, but for best flavor, avoid steeping past 5 minutes.
