Teavana Iced Tea Kit
With the help of Teavana I’m been able to enjoy National Iced Tea Day in style!! My favorite thing about the Teavana Iced Tea is their rock sugar – all natural and so delicious! The art of iced tea collection gives you the chance to make gourmet teas and impress your guests!!
I decided to whip up raspberry limeade which was exactly what the doctor ordered! Almost looks like sangria when it’s brewing!

If you have a store nearby try to make it in today because they are offering free 16-ounce Pineapple Berry Blue iced tea for every customer!

Thank you Teavana for sponsoring this post.
What a fun idea for a summer party or barbecue! I mean, I'm partial to a mimosa bar {wink}, but this sounds like the perfect nonalcoholic option :)!
I love iced tea! The hard iced tea bar is such a fun idea for a summer get together! That blackberry bourbon one sounds amazing!

Yummm! I LOVE trying different flavors of iced tea!! This ideas are super cute and would be so much fun to recreate!
I always remember growing up and my mom would put the ice tea out on the porch to seep. Totally reminds me of Summertime in New England. I love your ideas and recipes you found! ~Amanda Meet @ the Barre -Full recap of Santorini Honeymoon
Such cute pictures! Love all these wonderful ideas.

This is a great post and I great idea. Living in the South, I should have already thought of that! I may use a sweet tea bar at my next brunch/meal.
This is such a great idea! This would be a big hit down here in Georgia, and fun for everyone. Great Post Biana!

I love all the set-ups. The chalk looking scroll on the jars is a cute touch. I love me some homemade sweet tea.
I love the giant dispensers with the writing on it! So pretty!
i am a tea junkie! if that's a thing π i drink it all day. love making sun tea – so old school but so good π and bourbon iced tea – um yes! xo

I might be the only person in the south who doesn't particularly care for tea but I've never been to a party where the host made it look this cute… so you could possibly change my mind π
I love this post!!! I bookmarked it for future use. We are planning to have a summer gathering at some point this year, and these are some great ideas. I love pretty drinks. Oh, and I totally entered that contest. I love Teavana!
What awesome set ups! I don't think I can choose which one I love more!
I LOVE this! What a great idea for a shower or party! I will be 100% using this post!
What cute set-ups! I love the fun displays!
I've never really enjoyed ice tea up until this year! Love all the set-ups and that raspberry limeade sounds delicious.
A blackberry bourbon iced tea sounds like the stuff of dreams. Need to get my hands on one asap! Tea infused drinks are always so fun and summery.

LOVE teavana and being a GA girl, love my sweet iced tea.
This post couldn't have come at a better time – I'm throwing a Father's Day bbq next week, and with iced tea as my dads favorite drink, I just may have to set up a whole bar of it!
I am a huge fan of Tea bars! especially for summer! We are doing something so similar for my graduation party I love how personized you can make it for your guests!

Love all the tea bars! I drink a little too much sweet tea down here in NC π

I love that first setup with the drink dispensers! So pretty, I want one of those. I'm going to whip up some watermelon coconut water for next week in an effort to lose another lb or two before the beach the following week after lol . xo
Oh Teavana, how I love your orchid, jasmine, and chai teas. Serious aroma-gasum when I walk into that store. The first time I brewed tea leaves for my fiance he gave me the strangest look. It's so calming to me. (: I definitely think I need some Bourbon in my iced tea this summer! (;
Mmmm, I love iced tea as long as it's sweetened but not too sweet! How do people drink that stuff unsweetened? That's a crime.
I love iced tea and drink it all summer long. The sweeter the tea the better.
This looks so fun!! We got one of those mason jar drink dispensers as a wedding gift. We totally need to use it soon for some iced tea!!

I am all about the do-it-yourself drink bars. So fun!
The perfect idea for a summer bar! We are kind of picky with our tea and only like how certain people prepare it. Thanks for the giveaway! The tea kit sounds awesome! Winks and Eyerolls
Such a cute idea!! Thanks for sharing!! I love a refreshing beverage!! There is a Teavanna a few doors down from work. I haven't been in there in a while, but they do have some great teas. π
How cute is all of this?! Iced tea is on my list of drinks I've never tried… crazy, right? But that limeade sounds right up my ally! You may have just triggered a new craving, ha ha!
I had no idea there was a national iced tea day but this is something I can totally get down with!! I'm going to have to make a batch to enjoy with dinner π
You make me want to have a party! I love tea as well, all kinds! Unsweet, sweet, berry, hot, cold, etc. You name it π
Love iced tea! In Summerville, SC today they're breaking the world record for a batch of sweet tea. It's ridiculous.
We love ice tea in our household so I'm loving this post! I really need to get a cute glass holder thing haha! Definitely need to check out this Tea! Yum!

Fun idea! Love it!
This is such a fun idea! I'm not an ice tea person but Derek loves it so I'll have to remember this next time we're having a cookout!
Happy National Iced Tea day! I'm going to have to make some when I get home. It's so good!
I think the Teavana teas are very much meant to be served iced. They are really floral and fruity.
A tea bar sounds like a fun idea!
This sounds like the perfect idea for summer entertaining! Crossing my fingers I won! Happy National Tea day haha!

national iced tea day! haha. i love all the set ups and whatnot, but you couldn't pay me to actually drink iced tea π okay, maybe for a million dollars.
I'm obsessed with iced tea and love it anytime I can get my hands on it! But I prefer it with zero sugar, it's just so refreshing without. π
I love the idea of doing "bars" with non alcoholic drinks and tons of different mix-ins. Thanks for the fun ideas! XO -Kim

Being a southern girl, you gotta KNOW I love my teas π
I spend way too much money in Teavana every time we go there!
Ooooh, this would be a great idea for my husband's birthday party. He likes non-alcoholic iced tea. I only like it iced when it's alcoholic. Otherwise, I want it to be hot and not have sugar.
You and I had the same idea today! Teavana has some amazing teas! Happy National Iced Tea Day!

All of the tea!!!! I love those tea bars too! Tea is so awesome. I have really gotten back in to having at least 1-2 cups per day because hello antioxidants! Teavanna is super delicious!
That blackberry bourbon tea sounds amazing! I am just now getting into tea and I love trying all of the different flavors!
Such a great idea, especially with the summer and the temps getting so hot lately! You always find the best pictures for inspiration! I am definitely entering this, I love tea in any form!
