Hi David!
I love sun tea too. It's a great way to brew iced tea. But, sadly, in an apartment I really don't have any outdoor space where I can do that. I often order iced tea (unsweetened) at restaurants during lunches out.
And, like I mentioned, my Mom is a big tea person... in fact she's way more of a tea person than me. She doesn't drink coffee, so tea is her hot beverage of choice. And, of all the fancy black teas she's tried, she often or even usually still gravitates back to Lipton's on a daily basis. She refuses to drink herbal and decaf tea for the most part.
Lipton's basic black tea is made out of a Orange Pekoe and Pekoe tea blend, which are standard kinds of black tea.
