'''Island Tea''' refers to a variety of tea blends that are inspired by the flavors and aromas of tropical islands. These teas often incorporate ingredients native to island regions, such as [[coconut]], [[pineapple]], and various tropical [[herbs]] and [[spices]]. Island teas are popular for their refreshing taste and are often enjoyed both hot and iced.<br />

* '''Cold Brew''': Allowing the tea to steep in cold water for several hours, resulting in a smoother taste.<br />
* '''Iced Tea''': Brewing the tea hot and then cooling it with ice, often sweetened with sugar or honey.<br />
