About Iced Tea Blend
This iced tea blend is crafted with clear, low-tannin leaves to prevent cloudiness (cream down) when chilled. Brewed strong with double the amount for hot tea and poured over ice, it allows for an easy enjoyment of a clear amber iced tea.
How to brew
Good tea comes down to three basics: the amount of leaves, fresh boiling water, and steeping time. Use about one teaspoon (3g) of leaves per cup, pour freshly boiled water at 95–100°C briskly over them, put the lid on the pot, and steep for 2.5–3 minutes. When the leaves circulate up and down in the pot (the 'jumping' effect), the aroma and flavor come out well.
- As iced tea
- Brew strong with double the leaves, then pour all at once over a glass full of ice to chill it rapidly (the on-the-rocks method). Quick chilling prevents 'cream down' (the cloudiness that forms when tea cools) for a clear result.
