Yes, and this is one of the most praised aspects of this tea. Reviewers specifically call out 'sustained energy without coffee crash' as a key benefit. It's caffeinated but not overwhelmingly so, which gives you a steady lift rather than a spike-and-drop. Several buyers switched from coffee to this oolong and prefer the smoother energy curve. If you're looking for an alternative to coffee that still keeps you alert, this fits the bill.

This tea is ideal for a few specific groups: people trying to recreate Chinese restaurant tea at home (the #1 thing reviewers praise), anyone looking for a coffee replacement with smoother energy, people on weight loss programs who want appetite suppression support, and tea beginners who want something simple and affordable. It's not the best choice if you want bold, complex flavors or if you're an oolong connoisseur looking for artisanal quality — this is restaurant-grade, everyday tea.

Oolong is generally easier on the stomach than coffee or even some green teas, thanks to its semi-fermented processing. However, with this specific Avant Grub tea, reviewers have one clear warning: don't drink it on an empty stomach. Some experienced nausea and hot flashes when they did. With food or after a meal, it's smooth and comfortable. Many buyers drink it daily with meals without any stomach issues.

Many buyers of this Avant Grub oolong drink it daily and report positive results: better energy levels, appetite control, and weight management. One reviewer uses it as part of their diabetes management routine. The 150-bag count is practically built for daily use — it'll last about two months at 2-3 cups per day. The main caution from reviewers is to drink it with food, not on an empty stomach, to avoid nausea.

Most reviewers think so — 'good price for large quantity' comes up repeatedly. At 150 bags, you're looking at a few cents per cup, which is hard to beat for daily drinking. The value is especially strong if you're using it as a coffee replacement or for daily weight management, where consistency matters. Just keep in mind that if you prefer a stronger cup and double-bag, you're effectively getting 75 servings instead of 150.

Absolutely. The product is marketed for both hot and iced preparation, and reviewers confirm it works well both ways. For iced tea, steep two bags in hot water for the full 5 minutes to get a stronger concentrate, then pour over ice. The clean, neutral flavor actually translates well to iced — it's refreshing without being bitter or overly tannic.

Honestly, some reviewers have flagged quality control inconsistencies. A couple of buyers found empty or partially filled tea bags in their orders, and one mentioned excessive glue on the packaging affecting the bags. These seem to be occasional issues rather than the norm, since the majority of reviews focus on the taste and benefits. It's worth inspecting your bags when they arrive and contacting the seller if you get a bad batch.

Each Avant Grub tea bag is pre-portioned, so you don't need to measure. For a standard cup, one bag works if you like a mild, delicate brew. If you prefer something stronger, reviewers recommend using two bags per cup. Since the pack has 150 bags, even at two per cup you're getting 75 servings — still solid value for the price.

It's actually one of the better starting points for oolong beginners. The flavor is mild and approachable — nothing bitter, grassy, or overly complex to scare you off. Preparation is dead simple (just steep the bag), and it works hot or iced, so you can experiment. The large 150-bag pack also means you're not paying a premium to try something new. Multiple reviewers already familiar with oolong from restaurants found this to be a comfortable, familiar taste.

For this Avant Grub oolong, steep the bag in hot water (around 195°F) for 3-5 minutes.

It also works great as iced tea — just steep it strong with double bags, then pour over ice. Several reviewers enjoy it both ways, hot and iced.

Traditional Chinese oolong is typically enjoyed plain, and this Avant Grub tea is styled after that classic restaurant experience — so most buyers drink it straight. The flavor is mild and clean, which means milk would likely overpower it. That said, some reviewers mention adding sweeteners and customizing to their taste.

Most tea guidelines suggest 3-4 cups of oolong per day is a comfortable range. Reviewers of this Avant Grub tea drink it throughout the day — morning, afternoon, and evening — without issues.

If you're making iced tea, steep for the full 5 minutes with two bags before cooling.
