Have you been considering weaning off Starbucks for a bit, but still crave that caffeine/sugar kick? Well, iced tea may have been your first choice. But which one to pick?
For a long time it seemed like there was a fierce competition with no obvious winner, but that time may be over since we discovered an iced tea drink that you can find in your local supermarket and that beats the competition to the ground—hands down.
So we examined the most common brands of iced tea drinks to find out which one is the best.
We decided to compare them on the most common flavor: sweetened lemon black tea.
We focused on the most common brands—Snapple, Gold Peak, Arizona, and Pure Leaf—because all are available in virtually every supermarket—at least here in the New York area. You may find an excellent local brand of iced tea that would crush the corporate competition, but it’s hard to recommend something that’s only available in organic stores in Oklahoma.
The criteria? Taste and ingredients. Price didn’t play any role in the verdict because that may differ from place to place.
