Caffeine-free pumpkin tea that steeps cold: Preetea Pumpkin Water
In short

They steeped Preetea Pumpkin Water in cold water, ice water and a bottle of water and found it nutty, with no raw pumpkin smell and a clean finish. Verdict: a satisfying tea for puffiness that kept someone who rarely drinks plain water drinking regularly.

Why a regular pumpkin tea drinker picked Preetea
Preetea is a teabag-style pumpkin tea. The writer already drinks pumpkin tea so often that they buy pumpkin and red bean tea bags separately on Coupang and carry them in a tumbler, and this time received Preetea to try. I run a food blog, so I eat out a lot and often eat strong, spicy food! On top of that, it's been less than 3 months since my plastic surgery, so I'm paying extra attention to how much I drink~
But depending on the product, pumpkin tea can smell fishy or taste watery, so sometimes it's hard to keep drinking it T_T

The Preetea I tried this time was satisfying!
What are Preetea's packaging and aroma like?
Preetea comes in an orange, pumpkin-like zipper bag, so it's easy to store~ It's a light size that's easy to carry, so taking it to the office or out and about is no burden :)
The first thing I noticed as soon as I opened the zipper bag was a nutty aroma!


The pumpkin flavor comes through strongly, yet there's absolutely no fishy smell, which I loved!
Does Preetea steep well in cold water?
Preetea steeped quickly and strongly even in cold water and ice water. It's so hot lately, close to 30 degrees, that I mostly steep it in cold water~ You'd usually assume teabags only work in hot water, but Preetea was different!

It steeps fast in a mug, and even in a tumbler or a large water bottle the color deepened faster than I expected!
I tried it myself and was surprised at how fast and strong it steeped, haha. The first taste is nutty and soft, but the finish is super clean!

The more I drank, the more comfortable it felt, so it's nice to have alongside or instead of water, and I liked that it goes down clean without any dryness. It even steeps well in ice water, so in summer I thought it would be a good cold drink in place of coffee!
Preetea ingredients: 100% old pumpkin, 0 caffeine
Preetea is said to use 100% Korean old pumpkin! It goes through low-temperature aging, circulating warm-air drying and low-temperature dense roasting,

which the brand says keeps the pumpkin's natural flavor while giving a clean taste. And when I actually drank it, the aroma was nutty and the taste clean.
I'm sensitive to caffeine, and if I have it in the evening I can't sleep T_T Preetea has no calories, sugar or caffeine, so I could drink it comfortably at any time of day!

The teabag is also made of naturally derived PLA, and the safety tests are reportedly done, so I could drink it with even more peace of mind!

The best thing about drinking Preetea
Personally, what satisfied me most was that Preetea got me drinking fluids steadily :) I don't usually drink plain water much, but the taste isn't overwhelming, so I naturally reached for it more often?!

I was especially happy that I only need to bring one teabag to drink it easily at work or when I'm out!

Who is Preetea for, and where can you buy it?
According to the product description, Preetea is recommended for the people below! I also found it easy to keep drinking~
- People who often eat strong, spicy food
- People who want to enjoy a light tea without caffeine
- People who want to drink water a little more comfortably
It's available at Olive Young, Coupang and online, so it's easy to get hold of!

Preetea has a rich nutty flavor with no fishy taste and a clean finish. If you already enjoy pumpkin tea, or you're looking for a puffiness tea that's easy to drink, it's worth trying once. Recommended!
