Teavana's Blackberry Mojito: This green tea is far more blackberry than mojito, but it ices up superbly, both fruity and slightly minty. Add a sprig of mint to enhance the flavor.
Tea Forte's Lychee Coconut: A white tea, with low caffeine, suitable for drinking late in the day. Coconut is the predominant aroma and flavor, but the sweetness of the lychee can be found below it, even when it's on ice. A taste of the tropics on a hot day.
Boardwalk Creamsicle: Not to blow my own horn too much, but my specialty blend via Adagio is wonderful when made as iced tea. It's designed to taste like the orange sherbet/vanilla frozen custard swirls available on the NJ Shore boardwalks. A little splash of orange juice or very little bit of True Orange sweetener is far better than sugar for those who like sweetened tea.
Tea Forte's Coconut Mango Colada The tang of the green tea prevents the coconut, mango and vanilla notes from becoming overly sweet. Tea Forte claims there's also some lime in this mix, but I can't taste it. For those who like their iced tea on the boozy side, this tea is spectacular mixed with some sweet moscato.
Adagio's White Cucumber: This tea may be too fussy for those who like their iced tea done quickly. Unless this tea is brewed at more or less precisely 185 degrees, it loses any meaningful flavor. But if brewed properly, and then iced, it's a palate-cleansing and refreshing drink, excellent with a sprig of mint.
