I'll just throw my tuppence in here. When one of my son's was sent to England by his company, being raised in the South, was homesick for iced tea. . . The best restaurant in his town was owned by a Greek gentleman. He taught him to make Iced Tea. Most of the locals thought he was slightly daft, but were kind to him anyway.
The way in which the tea is brewed does make a difference. My usual tea is sold in approximately 1-qt tins by Kroger as "specially blended for coffee makers". It tastes better if done in a pot with water which was brought to a rolling boil then poured over the tea leaves. Reminds me of my early years. I cannot remember the brand my Scots mother used, but this does taste a lot like what I remember.
Also I have to agree that Twinnings is always a good reliable choice.
