It is no secret that tea tops the list of the easy and refreshing alternative to water in most Indian households. Tea is an important segment in the wave of refreshment beverages. Most Indians prefer having their tea piping hot. Although India is primarily a tea drinking country, the concept of ice teas was introduced to the masses after 2000s. The trend started in South America in the 19th century where ice teas are still popularly consumed as an everyday beverage. The trend then traveled to Canada, Europe and finally Asia.
