Cold brew tea - the healthier option?

For many tea drinkers, nothing beats a refreshing glass of cold tea on a hot summer day. But is cold brew tea healthier than your average iced tea? We make our teas using a cold brewing method to maximize flavor and health benefits. Here's a look at how cold brew tea stacks up against hot tea:

Higher Antioxidants

Cold brewing tea actually helps boost the antioxidants. Certain antioxidants like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are better extracted in cold water. This results in a higher concentration of antioxidants in cold brew tea versus hot tea. More antioxidants equal more health benefits!

Lower Caffeine

The cold brew process results in less caffeine being extracted from the tea leaves, meaning cold brew tea contains around 30% less caffeine than hot tea. For those sensitive to caffeine, cold brew makes tea drinking more enjoyable.

No Bitter Flavors

Steeping tea leaves in hot water can sometimes release bitter, tannic flavors depending on the tea type and steeping time. Cold water does not extract these harsher compounds. Cold brew tea is smooth, mellow, and pleasant tasting.

No Dilution from Ice

Drinking hot tea over ice dilutes the tea and alters the flavor. With cold brew, the tea is already chilled so no dilution necessary. You get the full flavor as it was meant to taste.

Healthy way to Enjoy Tea

Many sugary bottled iced teas have little in common with real tea. Our cold brew teas skip the added processed sugars and preserve the natural flavors and health benefits of tea.
