Yummy Summer Tea Blends You Need To Try
While hydration is the name of the game during the heat of summer, it's crucial to sidestep the sugar-laden traps lurking in our go-to summer beverages like sugary lemonades, packaged punches, and candy-like sodas. Instead, we'll give you our top 4 picks for yummy summer teas that taste amazing AND keep you healthy and glowing all summer long!
Â
Strawberry Lemonade
Sweet and tart refreshing tea that's both healthy and fun! This fresh and fruity blend lifts your mood, supports your immune system, and helps keep your skin clear and beautiful. Even better, Strawberry Lemonade tea is loaded with important nutrients and antioxidants.
Peach Apricot Black Tea
This is an organic smooth and rich Black tea flavored with ripe peach and apricot. The Black tea comes from the Assam region of India, known for producing teas with bold flavor that holds its own when blended with other ingredients. The peach and apricot harmonize with the tea, and provide great flavor and aroma.Â
Blueberry Thrill Iced Tea
This delicious all-organic tea has been a fan favorite since 2017! Made with brisk black tea, yummy blueberries, and a hint of lavender, Blueberry Thrill makes the perfect tea to enjoy on a hot summer day. It's loaded with anti-aging antioxidants that protect your skin, which is so important during the summer when we get more sun exposure.Â
Sugarproof Tea
Although you may not think of Sugarproof as a refreshing summer drink, this tea has a fruity flavor from the hibiscus, with notes of sweet cinnamon and a hint of cooling mint. It's lovely when served over ice, with a twist of lemon. And if you're watching your waistline, Sugarproof is a great calorie-free substitute for sugary summer beverages.
