6 Iced Teas That Taste Sweet, No Sugar Needed

Yes, iced tea can taste sweet without a all the added sugars. Some blends get their sweetness from real fruit. Others taste just like dessert. Either way, there is no sugar added and nothing artificial in our iced teas Just cold tea that tastes like a treat.

What makes tea taste sweet without adding sugar?

It comes from the ingredients, not a sweetener. Ripe fruit pieces bring a natural juicy sweetness. Warm dessert flavors like vanilla, caramel, and toasted pecan taste sweet on their own, the way the smell of a bakery feels sweet before you take a bite. Brew any of these cold and that flavor comes through clean and refreshing, with no sugar in sight.

Six sweet iced teas to try

Here are the blends our customers (and staff!) reach for when they want something sweet over ice without the sugar.

Peach Bellini Herbal. Ripe peach, apricot, and a little pineapple, like a fruit stand in a glass. It cold brews bright and juicy. Caffeine-free, so you can pour it any time of day.

Strawberry Immunity Herbal. Sweet strawberry and dark berries with a tart hibiscus edge. It steeps a beautiful ruby red over ice. Also caffeine-free, and lovely with a squeeze of lemon.

Decaf Toasted Marshmallow Black. This one tastes just like a marshmallow toasted golden over the fire. Sweet, cozy, smooth all the way down. It is decaf, so it makes a dreamy iced treat even in the evening. Add a splash of milk over ice for an iced marshmallow latte.

Porch Sippin' Pecan Black. The name says it all. Buttery pecan praline with a whisper of caramel, made for a slow afternoon outside. Serve it over ice with a little cream and it drinks like a pecan pie.

Italian Wedding Cake Black. Coconut, caramel, and toasted pecan, just like a slice of the cake. Brew it a little stronger, pour it over ice, and add milk for an iced tea latte that feels like dessert.

Housewarming Black. Smooth vanilla with a crème brûlée sweetness. This one was made to be an iced vanilla latte. Cold brew it, pour over ice, and finish with a splash of milk or cream.

Two easy ways to serve them cold

There are two simple ways to enjoy these, depending on the blend.

For the fruit blends, cold brew and drink them straight over ice. Peach Bellini and Strawberry Immunity are made for this. Bright and refreshing, sweet on their own.

For the dessert blends, make an iced tea latte. Brew a little stronger, pour over ice, and add a splash of milk. Toasted Marshmallow, Porch Sippin' Pecan, Italian Wedding Cake, and Housewarming all turn into a creamy iced treat this way.

How to cold brew any of them

1. Add 1.5 teaspoons of tea for every 8 ounces of cold water.
2. Cover and chill in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
3. Strain and pour over ice. Add milk for the dessert blends if you like.

Want it a little sweeter?

A small drizzle of honey does the trick - or even a dab of sweetened coffee creamers. But the fruit and dessert flavors carry their own sweetness, so most people sip these just as they are. You can always add sweetener but you can't take it out
