Summer is upon us and we've put together a quick guide to cold steep our thirst-quenching collection of iced teas. Cold steeping your tea can be a way to highlight certain aspects of a tea that you enjoy. The cooler and slower method of cold steeping doesn't steep out the tannins the way hot water does. In general, using cold water will play up the sweetness and minimize any bitterness.
How to Cold Steep Iced Tea
The below instructions are a starting place, just like all our suggestions on brewing any of our teas. You may prefer to experiment with steep times.
