Did you know that black tea is the most widely consumed tea in the United States?

Most people think green tea is… but green tea only accounts for a mere ~8% of national tea consumption.

Unfortunately, most of the black tea consumed is not 1) good quality and 2) health-promoting.

After all, most iced teas served in restaurants are made from cheap, mass-produced teas, like Lipton’s, and full of a whopping 40g (or more) of sugar.

Ugh…. gross.

But there’s a better way.

And it starts with the recipe below—and continues when you make the recipe below in batch and keep plenty in your fridge.

I’ve told many Wild customers that our #9 Twilight Black Tea is the smoothest black tea I’ve ever tried… and I’ve sampled hundreds of black teas from around the world.
