No longer available as far as I know, but SpecialTeas Blueberry Cocktail was awesome cold last summer. Truth be told, though, I prefer to ice down cheaper grocery store bagged stuff.
I like to cold brew a Teavana blend of Lemon Lime Kampai and Golden Monkey, its as close as I can get to key lime pie.
I’ve only really started experimenting with cold brews last summer. I found that something white or green with fruit flavouring works best for me. I had a green with strawberry and orange last year for example which was good.
I haven’t tried with black teas for cold brews, but the idea of that doesn’t really appeal to me much.
I don’t drink much of the sort really, but I have discovered that cold brews can be very delicious, but tea that has been brewed hot and then chilled don’t work for me. I find even the smoothest tea gains some astringency with that method.
Most green oolongs are absolutely delicious when cold brewed – I think my favorite was/is Jade Oolong by Rishi Tea
Teavivre’s Bailan Gongfu is great iced with a little sugar
i have not been an iced tea fan. mostly because my experience with iced tea has been grandpa’s liptons. but reading these suggestions has really got me.going :) I’m going to give one of these a try! I’ve got tea fortes vanilla black on my Doorsteps when i get home. it has coconut. might be perfect iced
thanks for the inspiration
Hmm, in the summer I live off my herb garden, so my iced “teas” end up being extremely fresh herbal tisanes :)
My favourite concoction is a handful of crushed of chocolate mint, cold steeped in a jug of carbonated water overnight. Ahh..refreshing!
Definitely Kanpe by DavidsTea… although I have a bunch of Rainbow Sherbert so LiberTEAS may have just inspired me to do the same!
I ice it with icecubes, I find it a bit more refreshing than coldbrew. I usually coldbrew black teas though.
Ice TeA Cubes what a great idea!
Jasmine Pearls or Silver Needles with a hint of peppermint.
My first try of iced tea was when I moved to Texas. For those who don’t know, that means a little bit of tea with your glass of sugar. I finally realized there was more to iced tea than Texas sweet tea and I’m trying different things iced. So far I really like Bear Trap from DAVIDsTEA and Strawberry Zabaglione from 52Teas. Though after reading the other posts, I’m interested in this Rainbow Sherbert now!
