The best iced tea I tried was made with Menghai's Pu-erh and lemon.
Black tea is fine too, but the others (Green, white and Oolong) just
don't taste as good they would hot.

Personally, I think tisanes are much better iced. Hibiscus can be
pretty good if mixed with other herbs, but my favorite is Yerba Mate.
Roasted mate can produce a very aromatic drink, and iced, with sugar
and lemon, is pretty popular around here.

Not to mention Tereré, a cold variation of the traditionally prepared
mate, with cold water and lemon, which remains unmached, at least in
refreshment.

I use a "Japanese Lime Tea". That is a green tea flavoured with lime.
I don't think I ever tried it hot but is yummie cold.

Where'd you find Japanese Lime Tea?!? I would love to try that, hot or
iced.

My favorites are Yellow box Jasmine Green tea with Chinese rock sugar,
Sencha, Lusianne, and these big (like 10x normal size) McDonalds
teabags I got from a friend who works at a distribution center. I
experiment with all kinds of teas though. Lichee black is good,
strawberry sencha, ginger peach black tea, etc.

The only one I can't handle is Oolong iced tea.
