Save Money with Tastings Tea Iced Tea Blends
Save Money with Tastings Tea Iced Tea
Love the crisp, refreshing taste of iced tea but tired of the high cost of store-bought drinks? Whether you’re spending a few dollars at the coffee shop each day or picking up bottled teas from the store, those small indulgences can quickly add up. The solution? A pitcher of homemade iced tea made with Tastings Tea’s whole leaf blends.
Not only is it easy to make, but it’s also a delicious, budget-friendly way to enjoy high-quality tea. With a range of vibrant flavors in every bag, you can sip smarter without sacrificing taste or quality.
Why Whole Leaf Tea is Worth It
Here’s the secret: high-quality whole leaf tea isn’t just for one cup. Unlike pre-bagged options or bottled drinks, Tastings Tea’s loose leaf blends feature full, unbroken leaves that release flavor over multiple infusions. That means you can brew a second—and sometimes even a third—pitcher that’s just as flavorful as the first.
- First Steep: Bold, rich flavor that showcases the full character of the tea.
- Second Steep: A softer, refreshing brew with new flavor notes.
At roughly $0.40 per serving, using the leaves for a second pitcher cuts the cost to $0.20 per glass. That’s a fraction of what you’d spend on bottled teas or café drinks.
The Math: Iced Tea vs. Other Drinks
Let’s compare homemade iced tea with other popular options:
Tastings Tea vs. Café Drinks
An iced coffee or tea from a café typically costs $3 to $5. Over a year, that habit could easily exceed $1,000. By comparison, a 12-ounce glass of homemade iced tea made with Tastings Tea costs just $0.30 to $0.45. The savings are immediate—and you can customize every glass to your liking.
Tastings Tea vs. Bottled Drinks
Bottled teas and sodas may seem convenient, but they typically cost $2 or more per bottle. Even buying multipacks rarely brings the price below $0.60 each. With Tastings Tea, you can brew a flavorful pitcher at home for far less—and skip the excess sugar and artificial ingredients.
Black and Green Tea Blends: Endless Variety
Homemade iced tea is never boring, thanks to the variety of blends Tastings Tea offers. Each one is carefully crafted to provide a unique flavor experience, so you can tailor your tea to any mood or occasion.
- Black Tea Blends: Bold and full-bodied, these teas are perfect for traditional sweet tea or a southern-style pitcher. Add a touch of sweetness or a slice of lemon for a classic flavor.
- Green Tea Blends: Light and refreshing, green teas pair beautifully with floral, citrus, or slightly sweet flavors. Brewed properly, they’re crisp and smooth with no bitterness.
No matter your choice, every glass feels special.
Customize Your Tea, Your Way
One of the best parts of brewing your own iced tea is the freedom to make it exactly how you want. Forget the fixed flavors of store-bought drinks—your options are endless.
- Sweetened: Use simple syrup, honey, maple, or agave for just the right amount of sweetness.
- Sugar-Free: Try stevia, monk fruit, or enjoy the natural flavors of the tea.
- Pure & Simple: With premium loose leaves, you may find sweeteners unnecessary—let the tea shine!
Simple Steps to Perfect Iced Tea
Ready to brew? Follow this easy method to make the most of your Tastings Tea blends:
- Measure Tea: Use 2 teaspoons of loose tea per 8 ounces of water. For a full pitcher, 8-10 teaspoons (10-12 grams) works perfectly.
- Heat Water:
-
- Black teas: Boil at 212°F.
- Green teas: Heat to 175-185°F for smooth, clean flavors.
- Steep: Place the tea leaves in an infuser, add hot water, and steep for 3-5 minutes (black tea) or 1-3 minutes (green tea).
- Cool & Chill: Remove the leaves, let the tea cool to room temperature, then transfer to a pitcher and top with cold water. Chill in the fridge.
- Serve: Pour over ice and garnish with citrus, berries, or herbs for extra flavor.
Don’t toss out the leaves—brew a second infusion to stretch your savings even further.
