How to Cold Brew Tea: The Secret to Perfect Iced Tea

Are you tired of iced tea that starts too strong and ends too weak? The secret to making great iced tea at home is learning how to cold brew tea. Like the best tea subscription brings you the best tea, cold brewing brings out all the great flavors of the tea without any bitterness.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Choose high-quality loose leaf teas. Our personalized tea subscriptions offer a great selection, but even less expensive teas taste better when cold brewed.

  2. Use more tea than for hot brewing. Use about a tablespoon of tea per cup of water. You can always dilute it later if it’s too strong.

  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight. This prevents the tea from absorbing fridge odors.

  4. Discard or filter out the tea leaves.

  5. Serve and enjoy! Add mint, lemon, honey, or sugar if desired.

Now that you know how to cold brew tea, consider one of our iced tea subscriptions to get started with delicious cold brewed teas at home!

#NeverBagged

Great Tea is a wonderful thing and we believe it should always be kept and brewed in its natural loose-leaf state, not crammed into tea-bags. Whole leaves have less surface than broken leaves so they keep their chemical compounds longer and remain fresh. When steeped they infuse at a lower rate, reducing the chance of bitterness from over-steeping. We only sell loose-leaf teas as we believe that the best teas are #NeverBagged.

#FreeYourTea

Discover your favorite teas and have them delivered regularly with samples of other teas that are likely to become new favorites. Always have fresh high-quality teas at hand! Never drink inferior or stale tea again!
