I love tea, in case you haven’t noticed. I especially love a hot mug of chai with some milk and sweetener. But in the summer, it isn’t the most fitting for the weather. And I turn to iced tea. So when Mighty Leaf offered to send me a sampling of their whole leaf iced tea line, of course I accepted!
I don’t typically purchase tea that is especially intended for iced tea, choosing instead to make my own, but these flavors were too difficult to resist! And like their regular teas, Mighty Leaf’s iced teas come in larger sachets with larger pieces, giving you a higher-quality tea. I was sent these flavors:
Sunburst Green. Loved the citrus zing.
Ginger Peach. I love the combination of ginger and peach flavors.
Calypso Mango. Mango is always good, in my opinion.
Organic Black. This is the only one I haven’t tried, but I can’t wait to brew it with some cinnamon and spices for some iced chai!

And as a side note, can I recommend that you mix the Calypso Mango with a little club soda, a squeeze of lime juice and some ice? Fantastic!

- One box of Sunburst Green Iced Tea.
- One box of Ginger Peach Iced Tea.
- One box of Calypso Mango Iced Tea.
- One box of Organic Black Iced Tea.

It sounds counter intuitive, and I guess it is, but I love a good long run at 5am, followed by a cold shower and a big glass of iced coffee. Going from bright red, steamy and sweaty to cool and refreshed makes it all better!!

I love making iced tea during the summer! My favorite is to take fresh mint and dried lavender and steep it by letting it sit out on my porch all day. I’ve also been a huge fan of juice spritzers – mostly club soda with some juice to have a nice fizzy drink that’s easy to drink after biking home from work in the heat.

Iced coffee and frozen blueberries for a snack!

My favorite way to stay cool in the summer is probably hanging out at the pool, in the pool with a refreshing glass of something, either water with lime juice, or a nice cold tea. I also like to stay inside catch a great movie with all my window blinds open and the fan on. Another way to stay cool.
Love being in the UP. Going to a small little lake with a cottage on it and enjoying the day with family. Making mint leaf iced tea. What a great day.
