Nestea is a brand of iced tea manufactured by Nestle and distributed by Nestle company's beverage department in the United States and by Beverage Partners Worldwide (BPW),^[1] a joint venture between The Coca-Cola Company and Nestle, in the rest of the world. It competes with Unilever/Pepsi's Lipton Iced Tea. It provides a variety of "tea products", in regular and diet forms, including liquid and powdered tea concentrates, refrigeratable teas, and ready-to-drink bottles dispensed by vendor or vending machine. The beverage comes in several flavors, depending on the country.

Nestea has become the subject of an investigation by PETA, which discovered cruel experimentation conducted on rodents, in an "attempt to discover possible health benefits".^[2]
