The Best Teas for Summer: Refreshing Flavors to Try

Welcome the warm, sunny days of summer with refreshing iced teas! While most of our teas are wonderful over ice, these three are summer standouts—one exotic flavor and two well-loved classics.

1. Wild Strawberry

Sweet, juicy strawberry notes make this a refreshing, crowd-pleasing iced tea for hot days. Brew it strong, chill and serve over ice with fresh sliced berries.

2. Dragon Fruit

Our exotic pick! Dragon Fruit brings tropical, fruity flavor and makes a vibrant, eye-catching iced tea. Add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy summer cooler.

3. Peach Oolong

Juicy stone fruit meets smooth, rounded oolong. It's made for cold brewing: add 1 tablespoon of leaves per 2 cups of cold water, refrigerate 6-12 hours and strain.

A Note on Hydration

Unsweetened iced tea counts toward your daily fluids and is a flavorful alternative to sugary drinks. Fruit and herbal ingredients naturally contain polyphenols that researchers study; these are general observations, not health claims.

Get Creative with Iced Tea

• Boba: Add tapioca pearls for a fun, chewy texture.
• Sparkling: Top with sparkling water for a fizzy refresher.
• Floral garnishes: Lavender or rose petals add an elegant touch.
• Fresh herbs: Mint, basil or rosemary add depth and complexity.
• Fruit ice cubes: Freeze berries or citrus in ice cubes so your tea never gets watered down.
