What You Should Know

4 C Iced Tea Mix, Raspberry (66.1 oz) is the big-family, budget-friendly powdered beverage you’ll spot on a supermarket shelf in the powdered drink aisle — stacked near lemonade and other powdered iced tea mixes and often shelved beside concentrated drink mixes and powdered sports drinks. Packaged in a large plastic canister or tub with a screw lid and a bright label showing raspberries and a tall glass of iced tea, it reads as a pantry staple for households that want a quick, sweet pitcher of iced tea. Shoppers pick it up for backyard barbecues, community potlucks, school events, or to stretch a grocery budget: it’s designed for batch-making rather than single-serve sipping. The brand leans utilitarian and value-driven rather than artisanal, targeting families and convenience-minded buyers; marketing emphasizes flavor, volume, and ease rather than clean-label or organic credentials. The label may highlight “natural raspberry flavor” while not carrying organic certification or front-of-package health claims; bright colors and simple fruit imagery can give a kid-friendly, nostalgic vibe. In plain terms it’s a highly processed, shelf-stable powdered mix made from sweeteners, instant tea, acids and colorants. When prepared it yields a sweet, syrupy, ruby-tinged iced tea with a pronounced raspberry aroma from added flavors, moderate astringency from the instant tea, and a smooth but thin mouthfeel compared with brewed tea. Rituals around it are communal and simple: scoop into a pitcher, add water and ice, stir, and serve at picnics, kids’ birthday parties, or as a budget-friendly refresher on hot days.
