15 Best Dutch Bros tea drinks I order when I want something cozy

1. Double Rainbro Tea

The Double Rainbro is one of the more eye-catching Dutch Bros teas, and the first time I had it, the fruit flavor felt almost as bright as the name.

The name still makes me think of that old double rainbow meme from my early teen years, so I have a soft spot for it.

The strawberry and peach syrups sweeten the organic tea base without burying it, and I usually notice the Paris Black giving the fruit a little more depth.

I’m normally a coconut hater but the coconut syrup at DB really brings those tropical vibes that make their tea quench my thirst even more.

It is an easy way to add some fun to the day, but a large iced Double Rainbro has 66 grams of sugar, so I usually keep it to a medium or smaller.

2. Green Tea Lemonade

Nothing beats an ice-cold lemonade in the sweltering heat – adding green tea brightens up both the color and the tartness of the lemon.

Green tea lemonade is one of those drinks I keep coming back to when I want something cold, tart, and a little bit caffeinated.

I ordered this a lot when I was trying to teach myself to like green tea. Back then I kept comparing every cup to the black tea I already knew, and this one felt softer and easier to drink.

It is not the most classic green tea I have ever had, but the lemon keeps the bitterness in check and makes it easy to finish.

That softer finish is why I still reach for it as an afternoon pick-me-up, especially in summer.

3. Palm Beach

When I want something candy-sweet, Palm Beach tea is usually where my mind goes.

The pomegranate and peach syrups give it a sweet-tart profile that stays lively with either tea base. I usually notice the fruit as juicy rather than syrupy, which is probably why it feels so bright.

The pomegranate is my favorite part, because it sharpens the peach instead of flattening it. That little bit of tang keeps the drink from feeling one-note, especially on a hot day.

If you’re going to the beach, you just have to get a Palm Beach!

I usually prefer it blended, but the iced version is the one I pick when I am trying to keep things lighter, since a medium cup has 240 calories.

4. Vanilla Chai

There is not much that comforts me faster than a creamy chai, and Dutch Bros Vanilla Chai is one I keep coming back to.

I have been drinking chai since I was a kid, so the mix of milk, vanilla, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg feels familiar to me in a way other drinks do not. When the milk is steamed well, the spices come across warm and rounded instead of sharp.

I love ordering a DB chai with oat milk for an extra creaminess (especially now that I’m lactose-intolerant and can’t have whip anymore – boo!).

I move between the hot and iced versions depending on the weather, because the spices read differently in each one.

A large hot chai even offers 12 grams of protein, which is worth noticing if you are looking at the nutrition label.

5. OG Gummybear

Growing up around Haribo, gummy bears were always a favorite, so the OG Gummybear feels a little nostalgic to me.

It is very sweet and brightly colored, with a fruity punch that lands fast.

Tart grapefruit and passionfruit blend so well with the sweetness of the pomegranate and watermelon.

The tea keeps it from turning into pure sugar overload by adding a mellow, clean finish after the first sip, and that is what keeps me drinking it.

When I want something that feels playful, the OG Gummybear is an easy pick.

6. Golden Eagle Chai

The Golden Eagle Chai has earned a regular spot in my Dutch Bros rotation.

A hot Golden Eagle Chai is especially comforting once the weather cools down. The vanilla, caramel, and creamy breve base blend together in a way that makes the drink taste much richer than plain chai.

Long walks in the park are never the same without my hands wrapped around a steaming cup of Chai.

Blended, it starts to feel closer to a vanilla milkshake with caramel on top. I like adding Picture Perfect for the extra chocolatey sweetness, because it ties the caramel and chai together without drowning either one out.

The blended version softens the spices a bit more than the iced one, so I usually taste the vanilla first.

I usually skip it when I am trying to keep things lighter, because a large hot Golden Eagle Chai lands squarely in dessert territory at 710 calories.

7. Peach Tea

On hot summer days, I usually end up at Dutch Bros for a Peach Tea instead of something heavier.

It has the same easy-drinking, roadside-stand feel I get from an Arizona Iced Tea, only the peach keeps it a little softer.

I have always liked peach black tea, and this one works because the simple peach syrup plays nicely with the mellow Paris black tea.

It’s a simple drink that is both refreshing and lightly sweet.

The sugar levels are also on the low end for Dutch Bros with a medium hot version only having 23 grams of sugar.

8. Gem Berry

Sometimes I want the flavor of berry pie more than the actual dessert, especially when there is no bakery nearby. That is when I go for a Gem Berry Tea.

The blackberry and raspberry bring the sweetness I love while the vanilla is what transforms what would be a fruity punch into more of a pie filling vibe.

The tea base keeps the berry syrup from tipping too sweet and adds a softer, cleaner finish.

I usually prefer Gem Berry blended, but I have had it hot on a freezing morning and it still felt surprisingly bright. The berry note is strongest when it is blended, but I still notice a tart edge when it is hot.

9. Tropical Tea

A Tropical Tea has a way of making the afternoon feel a little less ordinary.

So many classic tropical flavors star in this delicious drink – sweet and slightly tart passionfruit, creamy and nutty coconut, bright and tart blue raspberry.

The fruity flavors sit neatly on top of the mellow tea base, so it stays tea-like instead of turning into something that tastes like straight fruit soda.

It is the kind of drink that makes me think of beach air, especially when the weather outside is grey and cold.

10. Strawberry Lavender Green Tea

The Strawberry Lavender Green Tea feels like a warmer-weather order to me, and it is one I picture taking to a picnic.

I was not sure about lavender syrup at first, because I like the scent but usually hesitate when floral flavors show up in a drink.

However, there is something about the way the floral notes blend with the sweet strawberry and mellow tea base that just does it for me.

What changed my mind was how light the lavender tastes here. The strawberry keeps it sweet, and the green tea base stops it from becoming perfume-like, so the floral note stays in the background.

11. Paris Tea

Sometimes I do not want extras or flavor combinations, just a straightforward black tea.

Dutch Bros' black tea is a good base for drinks, but it is also nice on its own.

A black oolong tea, the Paris has fruity notes and hints of bergamot in its scent – a key ingredient in Earl Grey.

I often drink a cup of Paris Tea with oat milk while I read at the library. On a quiet afternoon, that oat milk makes the black tea feel a little rounder without turning it into a full milk tea. If I want something a little richer, I get it iced with soft top for a creamier finish.

12. Dragon Slayer

If you want something with a little more attitude, Dragon Slayer Tea is the one that stands out. It is not as dramatic as the name sounds, but it does have a fun energy to it.

This drink is all about the berries – raspberry, blue raspberry, and blackberry are all here for a fruity treat. A sweet and tart way to cheer myself up after a long day.

Dragon Slayer Tea tastes very similar to the Dutch Bros line of Rebel energy drink with the same name, just without the same caffeine kick.

I am partial to the deep purple color of the Slayer because it looks theatrical.

It always makes me think of dragons and fantasy novels, which is half the appeal for me. I usually reach for it when I want a drink that feels a little more playful than a standard fruit tea.

13. Passion Fruit Tea

Passion Fruit Tea is a straightforward fruity drink that still feels a little tropical.

It is one of my go-to orders when I want something simple, fruity, and not too aggressive. The sweetness and tartness stay in check, so it never gets too heavy.

I always think of summer when I have the Passion Fruit Tea, but it tastes great all year round!

I like adding coconut milk when I want it to lean a little more tropical.

14. Marmalade

When I want a zesty fruit tea to start the day, I go for a Marmalade Tea.

I love how much zest is packed into one small package – the sweet strawberry, the bright orange, and the tart grapefruit all work so well with the mellow black and green tea bases.

I usually grab a hot Marmalade on my morning Dutch Bros run, sometimes with toast still half-eaten in the car. The citrus and marmalade flavor make it feel like breakfast even when I am not actually sitting down for one.

15. Sweet Sunrise

I am not usually awake early enough to catch sunrise, so I like that Dutch Bros can bottle up some of that morning brightness for me and hand it over later in the day.

Sweet peach, slightly tart passion fruit, zesty orange, and creamy banana all meld so well with the tea base to wake your senses right up.

The Sweet Sunrise is the kind of drink that wakes up the menu visually as much as it does on the palate. I always notice the gold color first, then the sweet fruit flavor catches up when I take a sip.

I may not be strong enough to drink a Sweet Sunrise at sunrise, but it still tastes just as sweet at sunset.
