I recollect a while ago being manoeuvered into a Starbucks and
searching the menu board in desperation for a drink that was not
coffee or Tazo black and opted for an iced tea. I was curtly told
"Oh, we only serve iced tea in summer". This was in England in June!

Wait!?! So you're telling me the best tea doesn't come from a
cardboard/foil container containing "tea" concentrate? Get right out
of town! :)

has anyone come accross good quality iced tea concentrate, I have
tried the pouches you get at whittards and found them to be overloaded
with sugar and taste way to sweet. Cant seem to find anything that is
refreshing.

No, and I think part of the problem is that you cannot effectively
concentrate it without chemical changes.
Ordinarily, you brew very strong tea, then you add ice or water to turn
it into iced tea. So the actual brewed product is perhaps twice final
strength and you could think of that as a concentrate.
But if you want it any more concentrated than that, you have to remove
water either by freeze-drying or boiling, and that's when the nasty
off-flavours get generated.
A lot of the commercial tea drinks have huge amounts of sugar and/or lemon
in order to hide off-flavours.

i once tried a Yamamotoyama "Iced Green Tea powder instant tea"
unsweetened
it tasted pretty weird, also felt like it had dust in it, i didn't
like it (but 3 people left me comments that it was good and
refreshing ...)

I completely agree. In the summer, if I feel too hot for hot tea I
brew and drink tea at room temperature. I don't particularly enjoy
freezing my throat, and why sacrifice the taste of tea?
