Can iced tea go sour?

What could cause Honest Green Tea to 'ferment' to alcohol?

Honest Green Tea can 'ferment' to alcohol due to the presence of natural sugars and yeast. When the tea is brewed and left exposed to air, wild yeast in the environment may settle on the tea, initiating fermentation. This process can be accelerated by warm temperatures and prolonged exposure. As the yeast consumes the sugars in the tea, it produces ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide. Improper storage, such as sealing the tea in a warm container or leaving it unrefrigerated, can further promote this fermentation. To prevent this, store Honest Green Tea in a cool, dark place and consume it promptly.

Is iced tea OK to drink if it was out all night?

One night (i.e. less than 24 hours) should be alright for most teas. More than 24 hours is risky. However, it depends on the type of tea. Some tea leaves collect mold (or mould, for you folks in the U.K.) spores more quickly than other types of tea. These days many tea manufacturers "precook" their teas, and therefore most of these collect mold at a lesser rate than uncooked teas, though these dry out much quicker. Most Green Teas collect mold spores at a slower rate than other tea leaves, because they contain a higher level of tanic acid, which works like poison to the mold, but in moderation is not harmful to humans. If you get sick off of drinking old tea, it is likely that you have ingested mold spores. Common symptoms associated with ingesting mold spores from old tea: headache, nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, dizziness, faintness or fatigue. Black teas, such as what is commonly referred to as Orange Pekoe dry out relatively slowly, and therefore this why they are the most commonly used tea leaves in North America. However, if they are not "precooked" they will collect mold spores at a faster rate than uncooked Green Teas (meaning: uncooked Black teas collect mold much more quickly than uncooked Green teas.) Note: Tea, even after brewing with boiling water is not completely immune from collecting mold spores; merely the brewing with boiling water reduces the risk.
