National Iced Tea Month

As many of you know, I'm not a big iced tea drinker (must be my Canadian roots) and prefer to drink hot tea year round.  Lately I have been trying a few, perhaps because I've been hearing so much about National Iced Tea Month celebrated this month.

Here in Georgia a lot of people drink "sweet tea" and it is served iced and very sweet.  I've been trying to find tea that tastes good over ice, without sweetener. The coconut mango wuyi oolong from Stash was good.

 My most favorite black tea for serving iced is Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice tea.  It has a wonderfully sweet taste without adding sugar to the brew.  I actually called the company the first time I tried it since it was hard to believe that it wasn't sweetened.  It contains three types of cinnamon, orange peel and sweet cloves, but no sugar added.  You can find it loose, in sachets or tea bags here.

What type of iced tea are you are drinking this month?

    I like cinnamon flavored teas iced as well as hot. Recently I've been drinking a raspberry peach tea from Republic of Tea, which is delicious iced. I add a little Stevia to mine but it might be good without it, too.
