Recommended Iced Teas
Although any Smith tea can be brewed to make iced tea, there are a few stand-out blends and varietals according to our team. Sara, our Tea Buyer, highly recommends No. 45 Peppermint Leaves, No. 96 Jasmine Silver Tip, and No. 51 Sencha iced - all are refreshingly delicious. Our Designer Beth loves No. 72 White Petal for its toasty, creamy and slightly sweet bloom of flavor.
