Iced Tea Steep Guide

We often associate iced teas with being overly sweet and overly garnished, unrecognizable from their hot tea counterpart. Iced tea however, can be an exceptionally refreshing beverage when you let the natural flavours of our blends take the lead.

When enjoying our signature blends iced, the key is to start with a stronger infusion. We recommend doubling your usual portioning of either loose leaf or sachets. This will ensure your infusion maintains its flavour once poured over ice and diluted. The steep time and temperature will remain the same. If you do not have a variable temperature kettle, we recommend boiling the water fully, and letting it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Basic Iced Tea

1. Steep 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 2 sachets per 6-8 ounces of water.
2. Steep time and water temperature remain the same.
3. Pour infusion into glass or pitcher full of ice. Savour straight as a thirst quencher or garnish with berries, citrus, or herbs to further complement the natural flavours and tasting notes.

Cold Brew Iced Tea

1. Steep 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 2 sachets per 6-8 ounces of water.
2. Steep with cold water, rather than boiling water.
3. Let the infusion steep overnight for 8-12 hours in the fridge.
4. Pour infusion into glass or pitcher full of ice. Savour straight as a thirst quencher or garnish with berries, citrus, or herbs to further complement the natural flavours and tasting notes. 

Sparkling Iced Tea

1. Steep 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 2 sachets per 6-8 ounces of water.
2. Steep time and water temperature remain the same.
3. Pour infusion into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight.
4. Fill a glass with iced tea ice cubes and add sparkling water. 
5. Savour straight as a thirst quencher or garnish with berries, citrus, or herbs to further complement the natural flavours and tasting notes.
