Why choose cold brew?
-
Incredibly easy to make
Cold-brewing green tea is effortless. Simply add tea leaves to cold water and let it steep for a few hours.
-
Naturally sweet & full of umami
L-theanine, the compound responsible for a tea’s sweetness, is easily infused into cold water. Catechin, the compound known for bitterness, dissolves much more slowly at low temperatures. This means cold brewing results in a smoother, mellow taste.
-
Low caffeine
Cold-brewed tea is less caffeinated than hot tea because caffeine is more easily extracted in hot water. Using ice cold water further reduces the caffeine levels, making it a gentle green tea option.
