Blind Tasting: tea master Michael Ortiz tastes bottled black teas (Pure Leaf, Gold Peak, Honest Tea)

Michael Ortiz is the founder of JoJo Tea, a Miami-based purveyor of fine teas. He was also named best in Tea Preparation at the Tea Masters Cup USA 2019.

In this Blind Tasting video, Mike tries three ready-to-drink unflavored, unsweetened black teas that we picked up for him at a grocery store. Who better to tell us how these three products — from Honest Tea, Gold Peak and Pure Leaf — stack up against one another?
