Not only is it delicious, but there are also a multitude of health benefits! Most teas boast antioxidants which help improve digestion. Tea is also known to help lower blood sugar, improve memory, and aid in weight loss. It’s also a flavorful way to stay hydrated during the heat of the summer days. Check out our list of some of our favorite brews and don’t be afraid to take it to the next level with some tips and tricks!
Sweet Leaf Raspberry Tea
When you want your tea a little tart and tangy, you can’t go wrong with Sweet Leaf Raspberry tea. The black tea base is brewed with raspberries and pure cane sugar for 160 calories of refreshment. This is lovely on it’s own but don’t be afraid to throw in some fresh raspberries to take it up a notch.
Honest “Just” Green Tea
Green tea is an amazingly beneficial beverage. It is rich in polyphenols which are known for reducing inflammation and preventing cancer. Honest tea is just as promised, no flavors added, just pure green tea. If you’re looking to switch things up try adding in some crushed mint leaves or lemon balm for some herbal flavoring. It can also make a great base for green tea cocktails.
Snapple Half N’ Half
Half iced tea, half lemonade, all delicious. Snapple took the best of both worlds and combined Snapple Lemonade and Snapple Iced Tea for the perfect summertime beverage. The tart and tangy lemonade pairs well with the earthy flavor of the iced tea for a flavor combination that can’t be beat.
Galvanina Organic Tea Freddo Lemon Tea
Galvanina uses only the top quality ingredients to make a bubbly brewed tea you can enjoy any time of day. The base starts with Chun Mee tea leaves from China brewed in Galvanina mineral water with a splash of Sicillian lemon juice and pure cane sugar. Produced and bottled in Italy for an authentic taste that will leave you satisfied.
Harney & Sons Organic Black Tea
Black tea offers a robust flavor that can be enjoyed on its own without the addition of fruity or floral flavors. Harney & Sons produces a quality brewed tea with cane sugar and honey for a touch of sweetness. If you do feel like you want a bit more flavor you can have some slices of lemon or a sprig of lavender for a calming experience.
Bruce Cost Ginger Ale Jasmine Tea
For a unique take on iced tea, Bruce Cost brews their ginger ale with Jasmine tea for a floral aroma. The ginger is made with whole ginger for a fiery flavor that pairs well with the notes of Jasmine. The unfiltered beverage provides a unique “mouth feel” that provides iron, calcium and vitamin A and C.
