Over the past year I’ve become much more of a tea drinker than I was previously. As with coffee, I prefer it iced and with as straw (its better for your teeth!) and I’ve learned that perfecting the art of the iced tea takes a bit of practice.

It was a real treat when Kusmi asked me to try out some of their iced tea flavors! I love that these teas come portioned out for whipping up an entire pitcher of iced tea, and are specially formulated for creating robust, flavorful iced teas! Each flavor also comes with an optional recipe featuring fresh fruit or herbs that you can add to your brew to make it even more delightful. It’s also fun to experiment with your own combination. One of my favorites so far has been the Frosted Strawberry Iced Tea with a fresh strawberry and a few mint leaves! I also love the Icy Grapefruit with a teaspoon of local honey stirred in and a fresh wedge of frozen grapefruit to top it off. Mint Tea is one of my go-tos and I like it plain — it’s super refreshing, detoxing and a great way to make you feel energized during the afternoon slump. Keeping a pitcher of their Very Mint iced tea in the fridge has been pretty routine for me!

Throughout the summer I’ve been rotating through each flavor, and am looking forward to taking a few of them along on our annual Labor Day trip for our family to enjoy. You can purchase Kusmi Teas online — I’m dying to try the Aqua Fizz flavor, which looks super rich and fruity!
