Step By Step 


Step 1 - Heat water

POUR FRESH WATER INTO A KETTLE AND HEAT TO EXACT TEMPERATURE.

We would recommend using low mineral, low chemical, spring or glacier-fed water.

To find the full water temperature instructions please refer to our Steeping Chart.

Heat the water by boiling it. Please do not microwave it, no matter what your Great Aunt Josephine says, as it results in unevenly hot water. Take care not to over-boil or re-boil your water, which results in stale-tasting tea from an imbalance of elements in the water. Water temperature also has a profound impact on infusion quality; for example, unfermented (green) teas can be easily bruised by overly hot water which extracts too many tannic acids, rendering a bitter palate.



Step 2 - Add sachet to pitcher

PICK YOUR FAVORITE ICED TEA BLEND AND ADD TO PITCHER.

Add 1 iced tea sachet in a pitcher then add 16 fl oz of hot water. 1 sachet prepares 2 quarts of delicious iced tea.



Step 3 - Steep precisely

POUR HOT WATER OVER LEAVES AND STEEP PER SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

To find the detailed steeping instructions please further to our Steeping Chart.

Following the steeping instructions for the different tea types will yield the difference between a proper balance of flavors, as our blenders intend, and incorrect emphasis on certain flavor profiles of different ingredients.



Step 4 - Remove the sachet

REMOVE AND COMPOST THE ICED SACHET.

The iced tea sachets themselves are lovingly packed by hand into unbleached, home compostable paper as well. These choices help us to sleep in a world better for all.




Step 5 - Add cold water and ice

POUR 32 fl oz WATER AND ICE OVER STEEPED TEA.

Add 2 cups of ice - larger ice cube results in less dilution as you sip, so you can relax and enjoy your iced tea for longer.



Step 6 - Savor the moment

TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THE CHARACTER AND COLOR.

Before taking a sip, take a moment to appreciate the character and aroma and discover that peace can be found in a chilled glass of iced tea!
