My Absolute Favourite Iced Tea Summer Blends!

Refreshing glass of iced tea on a warm summer’s day? Yes please. Whether you enjoy something light and floral, smooth and creamy or bright and citrusy, loose leaf tea makes the perfect base for creating delicious homemade iced drinks!
Here are some of my favourite iced tea combinations from Totally Loose Leaf for this summer!

Wild White & Lemon Balm Iced Tea

For a light and refreshing summer drink, white tea is one of my favourite choices. Our Wild White (Silver Moonlight Tea) has a delicate, nutty, sweet, naturally smooth and clean character, making it the perfect base for a gentle and refreshing iced tea.
Paired with fresh lemon balm, this creates a beautifully calming and refreshing blend with soft herbal notes and a subtle citrus freshness.

How to enjoy:
Brew your white tea, allow it to cool in a glass jar or bottle with the added fresh lemon balm leaves to infuse for a couple of hours. Serve over plenty of ice!

Iced Oolong Tea

Oolong tea is a wonderful choice for summer because it offers a balance between the freshness of green tea and the depth of black tea.
Our Quanzhou Milk Oolong has a naturally creamy character and smooth flavour profile, making it a delicious, iced tea option for those who enjoy something a little more indulgent. 
For a refreshing twist, brew your oolong and add some extra water, chill it overnight in a glass jar or bottle (leave a few leaves of oolong inside the jar so that it keeps infusing overnight and serve over ice). Add a few slices of peach or citrus for an extra summer touch.

Iced Rooibos Tea

For a naturally caffeine free summer drink, rooibos is a beautiful option. Our Rooibos Good Hope has a naturally smooth and comforting flavour, making it perfect for enjoying throughout the day. 
Try it iced with fresh berries, orange slices or a little honey for a naturally sweet and refreshing drink.

Perfect for: Afternoon sipping, relaxed evenings and anyone looking for a caffeine free iced tea.

Iced Lemon & Basil Premium Kenya Kambaa Black Tea

For something vibrant and refreshing, try a classic black tea base with a summer twist.
Our Premium Kenya Kambaa black tea has a beautiful balance of malt, freshness and depth, making it an excellent choice for iced tea. 
Brew the tea, chill it, then add fresh lemon slices and basil leaves for a bright, aromatic summer infusion.
The result is a refreshing drink with a bold tea character, lifted by the freshness of lemon and the gentle herbal notes of basil.
