Benefits of Cold Brew Tea

Health Benefits of Cold Brew Tea

Cold brew tea is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. Since it is brewed slowly with cold water, it retains more antioxidants and polyphenols, which are beneficial for your health. Cold brewing also results in a smoother, less bitter flavor compared to hot brewing, making it easier to drink without added sweeteners.

Hydration and Refreshment

Cold brew tea is an excellent way to stay hydrated. Unlike sugary sodas and juices, it provides a refreshing and calorie-free beverage option. It’s also a great alternative to coffee, especially during the warmer months when you need something cool and invigorating.

How to Brew Cold Brew Tea

Step-by-Step Guide

Choose Your Tea
Start with high-quality loose leaf tea. For a refreshing cold brew, we recommend our Pokhara Classic Green Tea or the exquisite Spring White Buds, which has been featured in the New York Times.

2. Measure the Tea
Use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of water. Adjust the quantity based on your taste preference.

3. Add Water
Place the tea leaves in a pitcher and add cold, filtered water. Ensure that the leaves are fully submerged.

4. Steep in the Refrigerator
Cover the pitcher and let it steep in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor will be.

5. Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea to remove the leaves. You can use a fine mesh strainer, a tea infuser, or cheesecloth.

6. Serve and Enjoy
Pour the cold brew tea into a glass filled with ice. You can enjoy it as is or add a slice of lemon, a sprig of mint, or a touch of honey for extra flavor.
