This delicious yet mild Pomegranate iced tea reminded us of something incredibly natural and relaxing – like wildflowers and honey. Sweet and stimulating with or without its special sweetener, this drink will definitely keep you going on a hot afternoon. 530 Tower Hill Road, North Kingstown, 295-9155

Updike’s Newtowne Coffee (pictured right)
“So refreshing,” a number of our staff members exhaled in unison. This dark, loose- leaf Oolong “Wuyi” iced tea is one of the many varieties made fresh daily at Updike’s. Originating in China, it was rich and heavy, with a seductive smoky aroma and hints of licorice spice and chocolate. “It’s a perfect, well-balanced iced tea for summer- time.” 7726 Post Road, North Kingstown, 295-5300

Cool Beans Café (pictured left)
“It’s the quintessential green tea,” was the consensus on this iced Organic Tropical Green Tea. Lemony, light and refreshing, this drink is a superb way to beat the summer heat. 18 Kingstown Road, Narragansett, 789-9500

Java Madness (pictured right)
This tart Jamaica (Ja-MY-cah) iced tea definitely stood out from the rest. Its hints of lime and cranberry make for an excellent pick-me-up. As one of our staff members pointed out, “A little vodka would make for a delicious tropical Cosmo!” 134 Salt Pond Road, Wakefield. 788-0088
