Mighty Leaf: The Secret to Delicious Summer Iced Tea

Stay Cool with Mighty Leaf Tea This Summer

Mighty Leaf Tea is my go-to for keeping cool during the steamy Southern summer days. Just stepping outside can feel like the heat is sucking the life out of me, but a few sips of Mighty Leaf Tea, and I’m instantly rejuvenated.

Easy and Quick Brewing

With pre-portioned tea bags, brewing a gallon of my favorite iced tea recipe takes less than five minutes. This gourmet goodness in every glass is not only effortless but also cost-effective. Compared to bottled iced tea, it’s half the cost and completely natural, free of sugar (except what I add), calories, and artificial flavors.

Say Goodbye to Bottles

This summer, ditch the bottles and opt for DIY Mighty Leaf Iced Tea. It’s an easy, frugal, and eco-friendly way to enjoy a refreshing flavor.

Unique Tea Leaves and Blends

Mighty Leaf Tea stands out with its whole tea leaves, chunks of fruit, and spices. The moment you open the box, the size of the leaves will impress you. Once brewed, the flavor is simply tantalizing. These high-quality silk pouches are hand-stitched and offer ample space for the leaves, fruits, and spices to mingle and release their full potential.

Flavor Variety

Mighty Leaf Tea offers a wide range of flavors, from classic bagged teas to exotic loose blends:

  • Ginger Peach Iced Tea: The first Mighty Leaf Tea flavor, with an incredible aroma and a lightly sweet, blissful taste of sun-ripened peaches and delicate ginger.
  • Calypso Mango Iced Tea: A tropical paradise in a glass, with the delightful aroma of mangos combined with black tea.
  • Sunburst Green Iced Tea: A vibrant iced green tea brightened with the crisp taste of ripe oranges and sweet citrus, and the lowest in caffeine among all flavors.
  • Organic Black Iced Tea: A refreshing, rich, and smooth black tea made from South Indian Organic black tea leaves, hand-picked on the slopes of the Nilgiri Mountains.

Affordable and Convenient

At $5.99 for a 4-pouch box, each gourmet tea bag makes 1/2 gallon or four 16oz servings. At just 37 cents per serving, it’s a great value compared to pre-brewed iced tea, which can cost $1.50 or more per bottle.
