Love Iced Tea? Try Cold Brew Tea!
Summer and cold brew teas just go together! Cold brewing tea is a great way to enjoy your favorite iced teas. Brewed cold, the flavors shift just a bit, allowing for another way to explore the complexities of tea.
Steeping tea in cold water instead of hot water yields a sweet and smooth cup, due to the slow steeping process. Tannins which create astringency do not get extracted from the tea leaves, resulting in a mellow and sweet infusion.
Cold brew tea isn’t difficult. You only need tea, water and time! And sweetener, if you prefer. You’ll want to cold brew teas a little stronger than traditional brewing. Use 1.5 times the amount of leaf you typically use.

Enjoy!
When making cold brew tea, experiment with the length of brew time and tea types. Always taste your tea before adding sweetener. Cold Brew teas draw out more of Mother Nature’s natural sweetness, especially in oolongs.
If you want to sweeten your tea, we suggest local honey or simple syrup. Simple syrup can be made ahead of time, and is equal parts cane sugar and water, simmered to dissolve the sugar. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or orange, or add a sprig of mint. Enjoy!
