Best Iced Tea (2026)
Iced tea splits into two camps: cold-brew (steep tea bags in cold water for 6-12 hours, no boiling required, smoother flavor) and hot-brew-then-chilled (the traditional Southern method). Cold-brew has surged thanks to brands like Lipton's Cold Brew tea bags and dedicated cold-brew lines from Tazo and Celestial Seasonings.

FAQ
- What's the best iced tea?
- Lipton Cold Brew Family Size for value daily; Harney Paris Iced Tea Pouches for upgrade; Tazo Passion for caffeine-free hibiscus. All are summer-pitcher staples.
- Cold brew or hot brew iced tea?
- Cold brew is smoother and less bitter. Hot brew is faster and brighter. For daily drinking, cold brew. For summer parties when you need it now, hot brew over ice.
- How long does iced tea last in the fridge?
- 4-5 days in a sealed pitcher. Add lemon juice or refrigerate immediately to slow oxidation and preserve flavor.
- Can you cold-brew any tea?
- Yes — green tea, white tea, and herbal blends all cold-brew beautifully (often better than hot-brewed). Black teas work but are less complex cold than hot. Specialty oolong + pu-erh are best hot-brewed.
