Iced Teas Made for Sunny Reading
There’s something about summer reading that feels different from the rest of the year.
Maybe it’s the extra daylight. Maybe it’s finally having time to sit outside for a while without checking the clock every five minutes. Either way, books tend to follow people everywhere in the summer, onto patios, to parks, onto blankets at the beach, and into the mountains for the weekend. I love digging into a good book on a summer day - and iced tea is the perfect thing to sip on while doing it.
A good iced tea has the same energy as a good summer book. Easy to settle into, refreshing, and something you want to spend time with. Some blends are especially good for slow afternoons outside.
Fruit-forward teas feel bright and refreshing over ice on hotter days, while lighter herbal blends are perfect for sitting in the sun for hours with a book you can’t put down. And for those days that turn into evening patio hangs, a full pitcher always goes faster than expected.
The nice thing about iced tea is that it’s incredibly easy to make. Especially with our Iced Tea Pitcher Packs.
Peach Blossom White feels especially good on hot afternoons when you want something light and refreshing without being overly sweet. The peach and citrus notes keep it bright over ice, while the white tea gives it a softer, smoother finish.
Wild Blueberry Rooibos is the kind of tea that disappears quickly once you make a full pitcher. Fruity, naturally sweet, and caffeine-free, it works just as well for slow reading afternoons as it does for evenings on the patio.
Strawberry Green has a freshness to it that feels very summer in the mountains. The strawberry and sage combination keeps it interesting, while the sencha makes it crisp and refreshing served cold.
There’s something satisfying about putting together a pitcher before heading outside with a book, especially when the day is warm and there’s nowhere you urgently need to be. Read outside. Stay on the patio a little longer. Make another glass of iced tea.
The emails can wait until tomorrow.
