Iced tea

Question:
Greetings,
Which of your teas would be especially good for iced tea when the weather warms up?
I’m still enjoying the Big Red Robe, Keemun and Ripe Pu-erh teas which you sent earlier. So a stronger-tasting iced tea would suit me, I think.
Answer:
All teas can be made into iced teas. The trick is not to soak the leaves in it: make the tea in a pot -> remove the leaves -> chill the tea in the fridge -> serve.
It is therefore more a task of picking the tea with the flavour that you like to have for your iced tea. (The only difference being one is served hot and the other chilled.)
