Full Leaf Tea Sugary Drink Alternatives That Are Fruity

 We all know that sugary drinks are not good for us but yet we are a nation that is hooked on sodas and other drinks that are loaded with sugar. We are so hooked on our daily fix of sugar that many folks are getting angry at the idea of the government not allowing the purchase of soda with food stamps.


 In addition to soda, there are many other drinks that people are consuming with high amounts of sugar. From coffee drinks to soda and sweet teas, all that sugar is bad for our health. Sugar can be the cause of obesity, inflammation that causes chronic conditions, and weakening our immune system.

While swapping out sugary drinks for water is the better choice, drinking plain water can be tough for many people. Keep reading to learn about some delicious unsweetened fruit tea blends that have a naturally sweet taste. Choosing unsweetened teas or blends with naturally sweet ingredients lets you indulge your cravings while avoiding empty calories and artificial ingredients

Fruit Tea With Health Benefits

Swapping out sugary drinks for tea has real benefits. Lowering your intake of added sugars can help balance energy and support overall health. Herbal and specialty teas are hydrating, loaded with antioxidants, and offer a complex range of flavors, so you won’t feel like you’re missing out.

The Full Leaf Tea Company’s fruit tea collection is a vibrant showcase of nature’s sweetest flavors, blended with care for both taste and wellness. Each fruit tea is handcrafted with real, organic ingredients like juicy berries, sun-ripened peaches, tropical pineapple, tart hibiscus, and more, resulting in colorful blends that look as beautiful as they taste. Whether you’re seeking a morning pick-me-up, a refreshing iced treat, or a caffeine-free way to wind down, there’s a fruit tea for every occasion and palate.

 Each cup delivers a burst of real fruit flavor along with antioxidants and nutrients. The result? A cup of tea that’s as good for your body as it is for your senses. These fruit teas are naturally sweetened and taste so good without the need for sugar. So take a sip before adding any sugar.

Meet some of the Many Organic Fruit Teas (USDA organic):

  + Organic Fruitea Tang – Tropical tang (hibiscus, pineapple, apple, rosehips) with a neon-worthy pour.

These teas are just many of the different types of fruit teas that are available on Full Leaf Tea Company. Full Leaf also sells other types of tea, from green tea to black tea, white tea, and even matcha green tea for oat milk matcha lattes.

The above fruit tea blends can be enjoyed hot or cold. My favorite way to drink fruit tea is a big glass of fruit iced tea. For additional flavor, add some fresh fruit slices like lemon or strawberries to your glass of tea. For an iced tea that is bursting with sweet fruit flavor, check out the recipe below for fruit-infused cold brew tea.

How To Make Fruit-Infused Cold Brew Ice Tea 


Will The Fruit Tea Count Towards My Daily Water Goals?

When you drink these fruit teas, they will count towards your daily water goals, so drink up. Since these fruit teas are made with water, they will be a great swap for a glass of water.  It can be tough drinking 8+ glasses of water each day, but these delicious fruit teas make it so easy. 

 I like to brew several cups of tea in a big Mason Jar and store it in the fridge, so it is ready to drink. I do this even in the wintertime, so I can easily warm up a glass of hot tea without the need to wait for the kettle to boil the water for tea.

No Need For Sweeteners Like Sugar or Honey

Since these fruit teas contain real fruit, they have natural sugar in them, which gives them a sweet taste. So make sure to taste the tea before adding any sugar to it. Since you may be used to ultra-sweet sugary drinks, the taste may not taste sweet to you. 

If you feel the need for a bit more sweetness, I recommend trying natural low-calorie sweeteners like liquid monk fruit or stevia. To help your taste buds get used to enjoying the tea without a sweetener, gradually add less sweetener to each cup of tea.

Easiest Way To Make Fruit Flavor Ice Tea

 A hot summer day calls for a tall glass of ice tea. Discover a super easy ice tea recipe that requires no hot water.


 Warm summer days call for a tall glass of cold ice tea. A cold glass of ice tea is so refreshing and it does a way better job of quenching my thirst than plain water. I am usually a water drinker but when the temperature heats up, water can get quite boring after I have had too many glasses. Living in the desert without air conditioning in my home makes the need for hydration and my daily water intake can be at least 15 glasses of water. So even more reason to mix up my liquid intake with herbal ice tea.

  I used to make fruit-infused cold brew ice tea but the tea took too long to brew and the tea required several cups of fresh fruit. While the sliced fresh fruit gave the ice tea a fruity flavor, it was never enough flavor for me and I always had to add sugar to my glass of ice tea. That glass of ice tea was no longer a healthy summer drink.

Discover a healthy herbal fruit tea that is bursting with flavor

 When the weather gets warm, I start drinking ice tea and 2 months ago I shared with my readers the perfect way to make a cup of tea. This article explained how to best brew hot and cold tea since the weather here was still cool in the evenings. Now that temperatures are over 100, I needed a way to make ice tea without hot water. The thought of even using the stove in this heat makes me hot. 

 So I discovered an amazing herbal fruit tea blend that makes ice tea with cold water. Adagio Tea has become my favorite place to buy tea. I am loving their herbal fruit tea blends for quick and easy iced tea. These herbal teas are made with real fruit and contain no caffeine. The fruit flavors of the herbal tea are intense with flavor, so I never feel the need to add sugar to my tea. I can fill my big glass jar with plenty of ice and tea and not have to worry about my health. 


 My favorite fruit tea flavors from Adagio are Pina Colada, Peach Bellini, and Berry Blast. The ice tea blends smell so good. I was drinking a huge glass of Pina Colada ice tea and my son could smell the pineapple and coconut while he was helping me with my new phone. My son picked up my glass and said "mom can I try some of your drink?" That one sip turned into him chugging down the rest of my iced tea. I am glad that it was super easy to make more.

Fruit Ice tea is
+ Refreshing
+ Loaded with vitamin C
+ Full of antioxidants
+ Hydrating
+ Full of flavor

The Airtight Cold-Brew Pitcher makes ice tea quick and easy

 My recipe for quick and easy ice tea is super simple. Grab your favorite flavor of herbal tea from Adagio. They have 45 flavors of herbal tea to select from. Then grab a tall pitcher with an infuser basket. Fill the infuser basket with the herbal tea blend of your choice and add cold water. Place the pitcher in the fridge for 12 - 24 hours. Pour the tea over ice and enjoy the best ice tea ever! 


 Make sure to make several batches of different flavors of ice tea. On a hot summer day, my family can drink a lot of iced tea. Adagio has these innovative lay-flat Airtight Pitchers that lie flat to save space in your fridge. So, there is always room for iced tea in a full fridge. These cool iced tea pitchers are only $29 each and come in five colors. 

 The snug-fitting lid and flat body allow the pitcher to lie sideways, saving fridge space, with no worry of leaks or spills. The Airtight Pitcher is 68oz in size, dishwasher safe, BPA-free, and easy to use. That means you get eight glasses worth of freshly-brewed tea that's brimming with superior flavor and tantalizing aroma.

 Make sure to buy several of the Cold-Brew Pitchers as these unique lay-flat pitchers are also perfect for making cold brew coffee. Get a super easy cold brew coffee recipe here! You can also place fresh fruit in the infuser basket and make fruit-infused water. I love strawberry-flavored water on a hot summer day.
