I love this, and just started making it again.
Does anyone have a tea they think is particularly good for this. I am using Lipton right now. Run of the mill, but I like it. But hey, I am always looking to upgrade.

I love it too, and make it a lot during the warmer months. I don't like the Lipton stuff (too much shake maaaaan), but lately have used either use green jasmine tea (I steep it for about ten seconds in a small amount of below-boiling water first), or bags of African Rooibos "tea," which is often sold as red tea. Chilled, maybe a little ice, never any sweetner or citrus.
throw a dart. it'd be quite hard NOT to upgrade.

HAd some Celestial Season Honeybrush, but I want something pure and unadulterated.
Tazo, love the stuff!

Quit jerking around with all that frou frou stuff. Hit your local Chinese market (is the Woo Chee Chong still around?) and ask for some gunpowder tea, white tea, or if you like more bite, dark oolong or Pu-erh.

Great choice!
