Tea-rrific Tastes

These unique, low-sugar iced teas will quench your thirst on a hot day.

Q. I love iced tea, but many bottled ones are too sweet. Got any recommendations?

A. After tasting several brands, we've found a few favorites. But before you start sipping, keep in mind that liquid calories quickly add up. White tea is the trend of the moment, and Inko's Original is refreshingly good. With just 56 calories a bottle, it's slightly sweet, and comes in 9 yummy flavors. And yes, white tea is as healthy as black and green. POM Wonderful's flavored teas are just sweet enough to please. Lastly, for tea purists, Honest Tea's unsweetened organic Just Green and Just Black, and Coca-Cola's new unsweetened Gold Peak, offer a simple, bold taste, while Adagio's Anteadote delivers a seriously strong punch.
