I also remember reading that someone makes herself a pot of peppermint tea every morning, has a cup or two hot, then drinks the rest during the day as iced. I've never tried iced peppermint tea.

I like Tazo Passion tea made as iced tea. It's hibiscus based and is the herbal tea that seems closest to soda pop to me. I do add sugar which helps a lot in the illusion as does the gorgeous color. Be cautious, though - iced beverages can be tough on the tummy.

To drink hot, Tazo makes a mint tea I love. It's called Refresh and is mint with a little rosemary.

Also hot, Lipton Lemon is wonderful and their Ginger Twist and Peppermint are pretty good.

Traditional Medicinals makes a tea called "Eater's Digest" which has ginger and fennel and, I think, mint. It's pretty good.

Republic of Tea makes Orange Ginger Mint which I love hot. I only have it when I meet a friend for tea at Panera Bread and then always wonder why I don't have it at home. And along those lines, a place like Panera can be a nice way to try some different herbal teas. You're only buying one bag rather than a whole box of something you might dislike.

There's an old post where people are talking about flavored teas, especially flavored rooibos teas:

Old thread

To me, rooibos tea (also known as "red bush") tastes a lot like real tea (only a little too bitter for me) but some of the flavored rooibos varieties don't taste like tea at all, especially the Rainbow Rooibos mentioned in that thread. A company called Culinary Teas makes the Rainbow Rooibos along with lots of other flavored tea. You can buy little samplers of their teas to try:
