I would probably like it if it did not have sucralose as so many things are starting to have. If I need a laxative I will take one and expect the normal result. I do not like all the things that have sucralose and sorbitol as ingredients. Looking for a breath mint the other day and the only thing without one or both of those was Mentos. To have the level of sweetness in most sweet tea there must be a lot of sucralose in those bags.

Not the sweet tea (I detest sweetened tea!) but I use the Lipton Cold Brew tea bags constantly. I live off of iced tea and always have a pitcher in the frig (unsweetened only). They also come in the family sized bags and I use 2 for a gallon sized pitcher. But they are a lot more than $2 here for the 22 bag box!!

I am much fussier when I brew hot tea and would not normally use Liptons but for iced tea it is just fine. And I really like the fact that it is cold brewed - you can whip up a batch so quickly!!

Yes. We brew it and we enjoy it. We also brew Lipton peach and mango for iced tea.

I've tried the Lipton Cold Brew bags too and like them.

I was buying Red Rose until they recent,y stopped putting the figurines in the box. Trying different brands now.

That's a no for me, I don't like sweet tea at all, but am so happy that you've found something that helps you. I also do not like artificially flavored teas, my hypersensitive tastebuds detect the chemicals. My favorite ice tea is made with a high quality bagged tea, usually a combination of several brands. I love Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas and a couple of bags of that added to black or pekoe teas added to a big cold brew jug will make me very happy. I often add herbs from my garden or spices from the cabinet to the brew.

Lisa, I had never heard of the Red Rose figurines in my life! It must be pretty crappy tea that you would give it up, but apparently you are not alone! You may enjoy the article I found when researching these figurines; it's very droll but has a tiny bit of salty language.

Red Rose Tea figurines.....an obsession, lol

I have never seen the Red Rose figurines but the article did tell me why what is sold in this area as Red Rose tea is not what I used to purchase as that was apparently the northern type. It was the best tasting regular tea.

I don’t drink sweet tea either, so not for me. I stopped making large quantities of brewed tea at home years ago when we cut back on caffeine. I enjoy a glass of fresh cold iced tea now and then and will make us a glass or go buy it when we eat somewhere.

Red Rose tea is the only tea I drink. I do think American Red Rose tea is different than what we get in Canada. My Aunt would buy it for me when I would visit her in Missouri and it didn't taste the same. We haven't had figurines in our tea boxes for decades but we do have a few 1950's card collections and other figurines from when they were in the boxes. "Sweet Tea" isn't a Canadian thing so it is something I wouldn't drink especially with sucralose or an artificial sweetener but if you like sweet tea and can't have sugar I guess that is what you would like to drink. We have iced tea in our restaurants which mostly comes sweetened from a powder mix. I always ask for non sweetened iced tea but you can rarely get it, haha they bring you a pot of hot tea with ice cubes on the side.

I did try one of those brands but not sure which one it was now. It was good. I buy decaffeinated tea now and sweeten it myself.

Rhizo-thanks for the article! I do like Red Rose, but I can switch as a boycott. They should have lowered the price since there are no figurines in them. Time to see what else I like.

I'm picky about tea since I read that most tea bags are made with plastics. I try to avoid hot water and plastic as much as possible. I only buy certain bagged brands or use loose leaf.

I usually just drink it hot with a little cream but I do like iced tea, both sweet and unsweet. If I want sweet tea, I mix it half and half as full sweet tea is much too strong.
