TOP 10 Iced Teas šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡²

Summer’s ringing… and we’re picking up with iced tea šŸ¹

It’s more than just a seasonal favorite — it can actually be a smart swap for sugary drinks. Whether it’s green, black, or herbal, iced tea brings flavor without the junk.

But here’s the catch: not all iced teas are created equal. Many popular brands are stripped of actual tea and pumped full of sugars and controversial additives. 

To help you sip smarter, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best-rated iced teas on Yuka. Cool down, level up your health, and let iced tea do what it does best 🧊

    I would not promote Liquid Death regardless of how “Good” it may be. The company has confirmed occult ties by hiring/using witches for spells and markets selling your soul to become a member of their club. Hard pass!

    Hello! I love your ratings, but I think you should consider giving a higher rating to beverages stored in glass rather than plastic containers. The storing of beverages like tea in plastic containers causes leaching of pfas into our beverages, so that is a missing consideration. Thank you for your time.

    I think you need to consider the citric acid ingredient as a potential issue as it is often produced using dangerous ingredients like mold. I feel it should be disclosed how it is produced as some of us cannot have corn ingredients and this could be dangerous.

    Also USDA certification is very questionable the United States Department of Agriculture certify a lot of things that simply are not good for us very similar to FDA in function therefore I would recommend going Beyond the USDA to qualify an item as healthy due to a lot of hidden ingredients and the effects that they may have on the body’s organs during the digestion process

    Was curious as I saw Milo’s tew today in Walmart, so good to know if scores pretty high. I have doubts about liquid Death anything, I think it is labeled clearly and correctly. Pure Leaf and Tejava both taste good. I usually make my own Black and green Teas using tea bags (Trader Joe’s Moroccan Mint or PG Tips for black tea) and bottled water to avoid fluoride. Do any of your tests include Fluoride content of the water being used in these? I k ow some tea leaves also contain Fluoride as well, but hard to avoid it altogether. For sweetener i only use Stevia liquid drops (2 or 4 drops only), or Stevia in the raw packs. Great post and appreciate the info.

    No info on SEVEN TEAS brand? Whole foods has it. and it is quite good.

    Reply
    1. Maureen

      My understanding about liquid death is that it premiered at music festivals and was presented in a can with that name to appear like your hanging and drinking but making a better choice without the peer pressure. Beats carrying around a bottle of Poland Spring. For the younger set it seems to work and scoring well on Yuka – mission accomplished. šŸ¤“

    Since I love iced tea, I was eager to read your take on the best ones to buy. I did recognize certain brands in your article, but there is still a problem for me.
    I only drink decaffeinated tea, or, rarely, a green tea.
    Have you done any research on decaffeinated teas? I would love to hear if any good ones are available. They are almost impossible to find—good or bad—and so I usually end up making my own.

    To everyone asking questions I really recommend their app. You’re limited with the free version but for only $10/year you can a much more extensive version. I really like it because I’ve been able to look up a lot of foods, drinks and body products. It’s well worth $10/year to be healthier.

      According to the Yuka app, it contains phosphoric acid. The amount of phosphorus “exceeds recommendations, and whose excess could disrupt bone mineralization, have a harmful effect on kidneys, and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.” An examination of the label and information on their website does no include the amount of phosphoric acid in each bottle.

      I really recommend their app. Then you can look a lot of things. You can look up some things with the free version but you can look up a lot of things with $10/year version. It also has a lot of other things besides food like body products, etc.
