We've got a full fridge, folks

Iced tea season has finally arrived, and the cold brews are going in full gear. I'd like to take this opportunity to make a request to my fellow tea-bloggers - What's your favorite iced tea, and why? Yes, yes, it's the typical question you hear from the other side of the counter day after day, but we've got the qualifier going on here. So, in the interest of fairness, here's mine:

Moroccan Mint
Are your feet dragging across the bubbling, fry-an-egg-on-me pavement? Does your throat feel as dry and scratchy as a Saguaro in the dry season? Do you feel like you simply cannot type up one more report? Then what you need is a tall, frosty glass of Moroccan Mint iced tea. This pale-looking brew packs a punch so refreshing, you'll feel like you can do that report, you can hike through that desert, and you can fry all sorts of eggs on the pavement. This perfect blend of Gunpowder green tea and spearmint is sure to cure your lethargy. If you need a bigger pick-me-up, throw a little Peppermint leaf in with the brew - that's sure to bring you back to life. My mouth waters just thinking about this lovely concoction! Cheers to summer being just around the corner!

Mo'Mint is a great one. Also, Mauritius, may it (almost) rest in peace. And, of course, the always classy Blueberry.

I agree that Moroccan Mint is delicious, but I'm going to cast my vote for Monk's Blend. The floral notes really come out, but don't overpower the taste of the tea. It is also sweet without leaving a bad sugar-y aftertaste.
