Tao of Tea's Pitta Dosha makes a naturally sweet iced tea.

The Tao of Tea
The Tao of Tea’s Pitta Dosha Ayurvedic Tea is one of five Ayurvedic herbal infusions offered by the company. It's a certified organic blend of hibiscus flowers, rose petals, chamomile and peppermint.

A natural iced tea, it is smooth, cooling, slightly tart and sweet. Thanks to its tangy-sweet flavor, it doesn't need any sweeteners. However, if you prefer sweet tea, try it with honey, agave nectar or evaporated cane juice.
