Recommended Teas for Cold Brew

Cold brew tea is made by steeping tea leaves in cold water. This method reduces the extraction of tannins (bitterness) that are more prevalent at high temperatures, resulting in a smooth, sweet flavor and aromatic profile.

The preparation is simple. Just add tea leaves (4-5 teaspoons per liter of water) to a cold brew bottle, fill it with water, and let it sit in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours before straining. Mild teas and fruity flavored teas pair well with this method.
