The Zingy, Delicious, Instant Iced Tea That My Family Can’t Stop Drinking

If there’s one thing I can never have enough of, it’s tea. Ever since I was a child, no day has been complete for me without, as the Brits would say, a cuppa — and when I say no day, I mean no day. Even on the hottest days of the year, you can find me brewing my favorite blend … and then cooling it down as a refreshing glass of iced tea. So naturally, when I got wind that VAHDAM, one of my favorite tea brands, was launching a new line of iced teas, I knew I had to put it to the test. As a fan of the brand’s bold and bright teas, I was expecting to fall for these teas just as I have their chai and English breakfast blends. (Heck, I even adore their golden milk powder!) What I wasn’t expecting, however, was for my whole family (who tend to fall in the camp of anti-tea) to become obsessed with it, too. Let me introduce you to VAHDAM’s Peach Ginger Instant Iced Tea.

Rid your mind of every preconceived notion you have of instant teas: VAHDAM’s Peach Ginger Instant Iced Tea is in a league of its own. It’s made with a blend of instant green tea, ginger extract, lemon powder, peach powder, stevia, and raw sugar cane. The peach is bright and the ginger adds the perfect amount of zing, for a tea I can only describe as summer in a can. And like all of VAHDAM’s products, this tea and its ingredients are sourced straight from farms in India, meaning you’re getting the purest product around that’s packed with tons flavor.

Like I said before, as a tea girl, I was confident that I would love this tea. To really put it to the test, I decided to see what my picky family thought about it. So, I made a big pitcher of it at my family’s Labor Day festivities and immediately offered it to the skeptical few who claim to abhor tea. Wouldn’t you know, not only did they ask for seconds, but I even found my father (a self-proclaimed tea hater) taking a picture of the bottle so he could pick up a bottle for himself! When I asked them what they thought, they went on and on about how refreshing and delicious it tasted, with my aunt noting, “I love how the peach flavor tastes like real peaches, not that artificial stuff.” Needless to say, this tea has become a new family staple.

The Peach Ginger Instant Iced Tea comes in at $15. So whether you’re looking for a way to keep the taste of summer alive well into the fall or want to get your family in on the deliciousness that is a solid glass of iced tea, I think you’ll find this tea a hit in your home, too. Now if you excuse me, I’ve got a couple of gifts to buy.
