Iced Tea

Iced tea was popularized and believed to be created at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis by Richard Blechynden. In the United States, iced tea is very popular as an alternative to carbonated soft drinks, especially in the hotter Southern states: it is ubiquitous in restaurants, convenience stores, vending machines, and groceries. It may be freshly made on premises, or available in bottles and cans, and at many self-serve soda fountains. Restaurants sometimes give the customer the choice of sweetened or unsweetened tea.

Teaviews Member: Vanessa Vanessa's review:
"There is no mistaking the lemon in this tea; the lemon is evident in the aroma of the dry leaves, but even more so in the flavor. It seems as if a couple of lemon wedges should be floating in my glass. "

Tea Forte Iced White Ginger Pear

7.6/10  —  2 reviews
Teaviews Member: Katie Katie's review:
"The cheap-o in me was pretty skeptical that a tea on this end of the price scale would end up in my "too buy" list, but I changed my mind after the first few sips."

Teaviews Member: Jamie Jamie's review:
"The ginger fulls up the underside - gently spicy at first and then mellowing to a lingering sweetness that stays with you awhile. The pear is perhaps most notable in a subtly sweet sense and is not overwhelming."

7.5/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Jenn Jenn's review:
"I don’t often have ready to drink teas in my home because they don’t always represent or taste like real tea and are often too sweet but this is one I could consider having around for a treat."

Rishi Tea 100% Premium Tealeaf Powder Sample Set

7.5/10  —  2 reviews
Teaviews Member: Christine Christine's review:
"The genmaicha was excellent, but the other two were so-so at best. I think it really depends on personal taste and whether or not you actually like any of these flavors iced."
Read review »		       7/10
Teaviews Member: Katie Katie's review:
"The overall flavours of the assorted teas are what I would consider good mid-range representatives of sencha, oolong, and genmai. They aren't excellent, but they're good enough that the convenience and extra health benefits makes them a good staple to have around."

MaryAnna's Summer Sweet Tea

7.5/10  —  4 reviews
Teaviews Member: Christine Christine's review:
"It's a little bit more expensive than Lipton, but definitely worth it for the quality."

Teaviews Member: Patty Patty's review:
"The flavor was good tea...not just a tea-colored, vaguely sweet, fake tea, tannic, lemony liquid."
Read review »		       8.0/10
Teaviews Member: Geoff Geoff's review:
"While not enough to convert me completely from my iced tisanes, MaryAnna's tea put forth a worthwhile case. It's a far cry better than the faux tea juices that line the wrack in the specialty drink sections."

Rishi Tea Tropical Crimson Iced Tea

7.3/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Laura Laura's review:
"This one certainly has an interesting flavor profile. The overwhelming taste is that of the tart hibiscus with a peppermint backdrop. The mint adds some coolness that makes this special."

Teaviews Member: Troy Troy's review:

POM Wonderful POMx Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea

7/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Jenn Jenn's review:
"This iced tea has a very sweet taste but not one that is overly sugary. I've had drinks before where sugar was all I tasted but the flavors in this make it sweet without taking it overboard on the sugar taste."

Pacific Natural Foods Organic Iced Tea Sweetened

7/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Patty Patty's review:
"They've gone to the effort to procure not just organic and fair trade teas, but teas that taste really good and have the character and body to stand up to ice and dilution."

POM Wonderful POMx Pomegranate Blackberry Tea

6.8/10  —  2 reviews
Teaviews Member: Jenn Jenn's review:
"Out of all the POM Wonderful iced teas I have tried, this one was my favorite. However, I still feel that it was slightly lacking the tea taste I wanted. "
Read review »		       7.5/10
Teaviews Member: Dan Dan's review:
"The flavors are nice and well balanced, but comparing this tea to some of the other POMx teas, this blend is a bit more astringent. The boldness of this tea, and the mouth puckering tannic feel may be more well suited than the "light" offerings by POM Wonderful."

POM Wonderful POMx Light Pomegranate Hibiscus Green Tea

6.8/10  —  2 reviews
Teaviews Member: Jenn Jenn's review:
"The only thing that really bothered me was the aftertaste. It was an incredibly strong and distorted hibiscus taste that I did not enjoy."

Teaviews Member: Dan Dan's review:
"A bold beverage with prominent flavors and extreme mouthfeel. I like pairing this type of drink with many things (notably: liquor!), and it certainly has its strengths."

Zhi Tea Tropical Green

6.5/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Jamie Jamie's review:
"You will enjoy the riotous colors of numerous flower petals in reds, hot pink, bright orange and flaming yellows. Against the dark green and lightly shaggy sencha, they stand out like fireworks and chunks of organic papaya and pineapple round out the busy blend."
