June is Iced Tea Month

On a hot sunny day there is no more pleasurable cold drink than a glass of quality iced tea. Iced tea is a thirst quencher as well as one of the healthiest drinks you can consume. It has polyphenols and anti-oxidants and iced tea is consumed in almost every restaurant in the United States.

Iced tea is so popular during the summer that an entire month, June is dedicated to the consumption of iced tea. And, the amount of iced tea that Americans consume is growing rapidly.

One problem with iced tea in the past however was that all iced tea tasted the same and the flavor was at times flat. This is because most iced tea was made from lower quality bagged tea.Now, however, specialty loose leaf teas are starting to enter the market and offer better flavor as a robust drink. These specialty teas usually don't cost more that iced tea based on cheaper bagged tea but they certainly deliver more taste, refreshment and satisfaction.

Next time, instead of ordering a cheap iced tea based upon weak bagged tea, ask your waiter if flavorful iced tea like Coconut Pouchong, Jasmine Mint, Honey Pear, White Persian Melon or other great flavors are available.

A nice refreshing, flavorful iced tea can refresh you and make your day!
