Taste we tested eight iced tea brands-here are our favorites

A scorching, hot summer day will probably sip a glass of iced tea. Although I love you better I cook my own tea When I just have to make enough for myself and my family, I almost always choose iced tea in the shop when I organize a gathering, which means no need to cook and cool gallon tea.

To find the best unweepered iced tea, our editors took eight different brands of bottled ice tea, which is probably found in the local supermarket and on the Internet. We insisted on smooth iced tea without added flavors, such as peaches or other fruits. We poured each one into cups and then cooled them in random order without knowing which tea. After scoring all the iced tea, table the results and crowned the overall winner and two other worthy riders we would be happy to serve potluckspicnics and grillingOr

The criteria

The unsweetened iced tea should be smooth and balanced. It should be as taste as tea: there are bitter, tanning sounds, but not so much that the mouth is puckers. Fruity notes, such as peaches or nectarins, as well as honey and floral notes; However, the dominant taste must continue to be the tea.

General winner

Example of this: Associated Culinary Editor, ThetherikieHe noted, “It may be too tannic for some, but I liked it!” Our editorial director, DanielI thought that “classic black tea taste” and leading social media editor, Outskirts“He drinks very much.” Our visual editor, JessieI liked it “light and light” with a slight tannic taste.

A key to conclusion and conclusion

Although our editors had different preferences to make the cake or bitter, that they wanted iced tea, we usually enjoyed all tea and would be happy to serve any of the cooks. In all iced tea we taste, it has water and black tea and/or black tea concentrates as primary ingredients. Many shops purchased in the shops contain citric acid or phosphoric acid, which are often used as preservatives and give acidity to foods and drinks. Our winner and second place are made with citric acid or phosphoric acid, and one of the second place, Trader Joe's, contained natural flavors. Although these teas are delicious, smooth, we all agreed that they would be better off a little lemon juice, fresh mint, Simple syrupOr maybe a piece of Bourbon. So, if you serve iced iced tea at a party, consider installing guests.

Our testing methodology

All flavors are completely hidden and do without discussion. Tasters taste the samples in random order. For example, tasting may first taste the sample, while the B tasting will first taste the six samples. The purpose of this is to prevent the fatigue of the palate unfairly securing one pattern. The tasters are asked to fill out the tasting pages, which rank the samples for various criteria. All data are tabled and the results are calculated without an input of editors to get the least impartial representation as possible.
