Arizona iced tea may be a small company compared to Lipton, but it has bigger tea taste which is all that really matters anyway...at least in my opinion.
Not to say that Lipton is bad, oh no, it's just that I prefer Arizona tea over the Brisk tea.
Snapple happens to be my first choice when choosing iced tea brands, but Arizona tea is right behind it, and even beats it with some of their varieties like iced green tea.
Of course as mentioned on other pages, the best way I enjoy iced tea is to make it myself from whole loose leaves the same way I brew my hot tea.
This method is the best way to achieve full flavor and benefits.
Making your own iced tea is easy and kind of fun to do, especially if you're brewing exotic varieties such as "pina colada" or "berry blues". These fruity natural herbal teas taste great chilled and make a perfect summer-time beverage!
Now Arizona iced tea is sort of an American success story, where two young men had the idea to go into the beverage business together shortly after high school. They challenged the bigger companies and succeeded, as their brand of iced tea is one of the most popular iced tea drinks folks go for. Especially high school kids!
I myself, remember the days I would go to the corner store with my friends after school and reach for the big cold 23.5 oz can of Arizona tea that was (and still is) 99 cents! That's almost double the tea other brands offer.
Besides regular "black iced tea", Arizona also offers green and white teas as well. They also have a decent selection of fruit drinks too.
So if it's a hot day out, and you haven't tried Arizona iced tea yet, I recommend you give it a go...for under a dollar, you can't go wrong!
