Is the caffeine necessary? I'm a fan of rooibos, which is naturally a little sweet and is uncaffeinated. Tazo's vanilla rooibos tea is SO GOOD. (Amazon link.) I drank it non-stop when I worked at Starbucks. It's nice with honey, but it's very good brewed at double strength and iced.
If you need caffeine, I like jasmine pearls iced. This might sound weird, but I prefer it a little weak. Jasmine pearls are kind of spendy and a few of them go a long way. So it's basically sweet scented water, not tea, but it's really refreshing when chilled. I have a [large tea ball](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007DHN32/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0007DHN32&linkCode=as2&tag=biscfortea-20">Mesh Tea Ball 3" Large), the kind intended to go in a pot rather than a cup, and I put maybe five pearls in it. I brew it in a 32-ounce jar, which is the right combination of big enough to brew in and small enough to drink from. I don't have a favorite brand of jasmine pearls. The cheaper stuff is lower quality, natch, but when it's iced I don't think you're going to mind.
I drink a blend of hibiscus and mint tea when it's hot out. My friend who'd been in the Peace Corps introduced it to me as wanjo, a drink from Gambia. He used to make it with a ton of sugar, but the sugar's not necessary. I pull the mint from my garden, the hibiscus comes from Amazon, and I use some stevia from my garden to soften the edge off the tartness without making it too sweet. You don't NEED the stevia, I just like it. It's refreshing as hell, minty, tart and naturally sweet. (Amazon link for the hibiscus.) I guess you could grow all of that in a garden if you've got the time and space, I would definitely do it if I could! The mint and stevia are fine in containers, I don't know about hibiscus plants.
Do you like gingery spicy things? Twinings Lemon and Ginger is wonderful. I don't like ascribing medical benefits to things that are really just tasty, but I drink it hot with a spoonful of honey when I'm feeling sick. It's soothing when hot, refreshing when iced. The ginger becomes peppery and bright, there's no lingering burn like you sometimes get with spicy things. For pure sweetness, Twinings Honeybrush Mandarin Orange is wonderful. I really like Twinings: it's universal enough you can find it in your local supermarket, cheap enough you can try new things without feeling like you're wasting money, and generally pretty high quality for tea bags.
Twinings Lady Grey is impeccable over ice, incidentally. I find Earl Grey gets bitter when chilled, but Lady Grey has a citrusy quality that translates nicely.
Bonus: okay, this isn't tea, but it involves dried petals. I can't find the recipe I've used in the past, but this is close-ish. Lavender-Hibiscus Lemonade. Get rid of most of the sugar.
Mmm, I love tea for it's detox effects and for it's light, yummy flavor! White tea is my favorite for the antioxidants and health benefits! But it's pricier because it's so delicate and more difficult to collect! Hibiscus tea is less pricy and has a bold, amazing flavor! It's also red so it feels so exotic to drink!
To tea or not to tea!
