I love the idea of adding "not water" to make something that's not
tea :-). But I do wonder how impatient you'd have to be to use the
instant tea rather than a tea bag - it would only take an extra couple
of minutes.

I bought it because it tastes different.

I don't have any in the cupboard at the moment (not counting the strange
sugar-and-citric-acid concoction) because I don't drink it very often,
and it seems to be more hygroscopic than instant coffee granules and
becomes unuseable relatively quickly. That's relative - I'm talking
weeks or months, not days.

Also, once opened, like anything of that nature it loses its flavour
over time.
