Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade. Yes you have to get it sweetened. Putting this at number one was not hard. I go to Starbucks more than I would like to admit, and 4/5 times in the winter, and 5/5 times in the summer, I will get this to drink. Passion Tea Lemonade sweetened might just be perfection in a cup. It is the perfect combination of sweet and yum. I have never met a person in my whole entire life who doesn't enjoy this.
A close number two is Coffee Bean Blood Orange Sweet Tea. Coming at number two because there are not many Coffee Beans and this is a special occasion drink for me whenever I just happen to be near a Coffee Bean. I doubt a lot of people have heard of Coffee Bean, considering most of its locations are in Southern California, but it is a hidden gem. This drink is just so unique. The first time I got it, I was expecting it to be like McDonalds sweet tea, packed with sugar, but it is not. Sweet tea would actually be an overstatement because most of the flavor is blood orange and agave nectar. And if the barista asks you what kind of tea you would like, say black, trust me.
A quite distant number three is Peet's Coffee regular, black, iced tea. I'm going to admit, Peet's is not my favorite, but they make a pretty good iced tea. Its not too bitter, not too sweet, and the best black tea, without sweeteners or mixed in with lemonade I have ever had. In all of my years looking for the perfect iced tea, at home or at a coffee house, I have not found a better regular iced tea.Top right photo is Passion Tea Lemonade sweetened, bottom right is Peet's Iced Tea, left is Coffee Bean Blood Orange Sweet Tea.
