Cold Steep Tea

Cold brewing loose leaf tea for ice tea is simple. Since it is steeped with cold water instead of boiling water, the risk of over-brewing your tea is minimal. Cold brew tea provides less tannin, less caffeine and the overall taste will be much sweeter. We add tea, filtered water and let it sit for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator. We suggest a full day of brewing for optimal flavor. You can also choose to start the infusion at room temperature for an hour and then store it in the refrigerator.

Enjoy your cold brew right out of the bottle.
