message: India's sub-heading has only one word: "chai." Weak! It also seems India should be removed from this article entirely. Does anyone who has any experience know if chai is ever served cold in India? The Wikipedia article appears to indicate it is always served hot, never cold, but I'd like backup before it's deleted just in case. The chai main article might be lacking, after all;).

Hi, I wanted to put in a little snippet about iced tea in Canada.  Anyone have any objections?  This was what I was thinking...
:In Canada, much like most of Europe, iced tea is often served as an alternative to carbonated soft drinks.  Iced tea is almost always served sweetened, and is usually lemon-flavoured, but iced tea flavoured with raspberry, peach or made with green teas are also becoming more common.  Powdered iced tea is the most common preparation at home, due to it's ease of use.  Witchbaby 16:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a description of the U.S., too. (Except for the spelling for flavoured/flavored :-)  My biggest concern (and I haven't read the rest of the article to see if it meets the same standard) is that it's a lot of generalization without any cited sources. I know how silly that sounds since you probably live there and know the information first-hand, but sourced information is the Wikipedia way. Back to your actual comments as they relate to the US, it appears to me that the usage of powdered iced tea concentrate has declined, and fresh brewed tea is making headway. This could be due to creations like the Mr. Coffee Iced Tea brewing system and the ready availability of cold-brew tea bags. I don't know if there is a similar trend in Canada, but if that's true in both places, it might be better to apply your statement to both countries. Just some thoughts since you asked. :-) --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 23:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Fresh-brewed ice tea is becoming more popular, particularly since tea shops are more and more common.  However, powder and concentrate is still what most people use at home and I've NEVER seen cold-brew tea-bags on the market.  Thanks for your advice.  I'll wait to see if anyone else has any input before I post my bit.Witchbaby 19:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  what kind of tea? 

message: Is there any reason why 4 or 5 tea bags can't be floated in 2 litres of COLD water to make the iced tea? Does it have to be brewed hot? I was recently asked whether any of the health benefits of green tea were lost or gained by not using heat to make the tea. I didn't know the answer and came here for some guidance.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.231.240.159 (talk • contribs) 17:34, December 13, 2006
*I think tea is a solution, and things dissolve better with heat. Fast moving molecules disperse the solute. I guess the same would go for a suspension.Blamblamblam 21:31, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm considering removing or modifying the "some-what new" tag. It might be fairly new to the commercial market, but I've been ordering this since the 1960's.Saxophobia 17:18, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but iced tea is a soft drink. IT is not drunk in place of tea, it is marketed as a soft drink. I really think this ought to be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrifer (talk • contribs) 22:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

message: we in Austria do speak German and therfore it is called Eistee not Ice Tea except as brand name (or if we talk English), and never ever called iced tea (which would be correct as i see now).

message: Why do we need a breakdown for each country about where it is consumed, in what format etc? We need to know what it is, the origins, a bit about different variations, specific significance in countries (if any) where it is a key element of its culture, and perhaps its 'modern' popularity as a healthier choice of drink. That is it! Rui Gabriel Correia (talk) 01:30, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
