Cold Brew Tea

Smooth. Refreshing. Effortless.

Cold brewing tea is one of the easiest ways to enjoy loose leaf tea—whether you're sipping at home, filling your favorite tumbler, or making a big pitcher of iced tea for the fridge. The cold brew method uses cold water or room temperature water to slowly steep tea leaves, bringing out a naturally sweeter, smoother flavor without the bitter taste you sometimes get from hot brewed tea.

It’s a delicious way to explore different flavors of green tea, oolong tea, white tea, black tea, herbal blends, or rooibos—without the heat.

Why Make Cold Brew Iced Tea?

• Yields a smooth, refreshing drink
• No risk of bitter or astringent flavors
• Easy to customize your personal taste—brew it stronger or lighter, sweeten it, or add a splash of lemon juice, honey, or fresh mint leaves
• Perfect for hot summer days, but honestly, we drink it year-round!

How to Cold Brew Tea (Mason Jar Method)

Making cold brew tea is as easy as it gets:

1. Add 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of water of loose leaf tea (or use your favorite tea bags) to a 32 oz wide-mouth mason jar. (If using herbal tea, read the note about herbal teas below.)
2. Fill with fresh cold water.
3. Use a cold extractor
4. Place the jar in the refrigerator and steep for at least 2 hours (or overnight for a stronger batch).
5. Pour straight from the jar—the built-in filter keeps tea leaves out of your cup!

   A Quick Note on Cold Brewing Herbal Teas

   When it comes to herbal teas, we recommend a slightly different approach for cold brewing. Since these ingredients aren’t heat-processed like traditional tea leaves, they haven’t gone through the same bacteria-killing step. To enjoy them safely and get the best flavor, we suggest this method:

   1. Add your tea to your filter or jar using 1 teaspoon of tea per 8 oz of water.
   2. Pour 1 to 2 cups of boiling water over the tea and let it steep for about 5 minutes.
   3. Then top it off with cold water and ice to fill your pitcher or bottle.
   4. Let it chill in the fridge, and you’re good to go! 😍

   This hybrid method gives you the vibrant flavor you’re after, with the safety and satisfaction of a proper brew. ❤️
