My pantry shelves are well stocked with Gingerbread, Candy Cane, Sugar Plum, and Peppermint teas for winter months.
During spring we've been drinking lots of raspberry tea. (I also enjoy Earl Grey Breakfast Tea.) But I'm feeling the need for change.
What teas do you prefer in summer?

I have a wonderful bunch of mint growing in my garden right now. I can't wait for some refreshing mint tea! As soon as I figure out how to convert real green leaves into something to drink....

I don't drink iced tea.. so lemonade is my preference
but when I was making iced tea for others to drink.. I'd make it with a plain tea and one of the flavored teas.. peach or lemon or orange.. something refreshing sounding.
Hot tea in summer say on a cool morning..
chamomile
jasmine green
chamomile mango
lemon
I had a pomegranite white tea that was nice recently too

Cay, I drink green teas made in an iced tea maker. I, too, would like more suggestions, and like Melinda, I'm wondering if/how to use fresh mint in the maker. I sure could use some new ideas.
ETA: Maybe there are some ideas here, summer drinks
Love,

here's a whole thread on using fresh leaves in tea and/or drying them for tea.

Dc have been drinking peach and bluberry teas lately. I really, really like Celestial Seasoning Cinnamon Apple Spice in my water bottle; it steeps all day, stays flavorful through many fillings and has a delightful, natural sweetness to it.

I love herbal teas! I'm not big on cinnamon or apple, but I do love orange if the flavor is strong (not orange mixed with something). My absolute favorite is Tazo Wild Sweet Orange.
On ice I love Tazo Passion (the ingredients list licorice and cinnamon, which is yuck, but the tea is very fruity -- berry-like) and Celestial Seasoning Wild Berry Zinger.

Oh, I love orange teas! I can't wait to try the Tazo Wild Sweet Orange, Janette!
My favorite summer tea I discovered last year...Twinings Green Tea with Mint wihch is a cold brew tea. I had never tried a tea that you brew in cold water before, but I just love it. It's so light and cool and refreshing! Twinings has several cold brew iced teas to choose from.

I like Lady Grey tea- it's similar to Earl Grey, but has some citrus as well. Very pleasant for summertime.
