Rather than a specific tea, I'll recommend a simple method for getting
crystal clear iced tea - cold steeping. I do it a gallon at a time
like this:

Save a gallon plastic milk jug when empty. Rinse thoroughly. Put
loose tea leaves into jug. Fill with cold water (if your tap water is
tepid, have it pre-refridgerated). Put in fridge to steep for 8-12
hours. At the end of that time, strain out leaves. Done. Tea is
beautiful and tastes great.
