We believe that your tea experience should be completely personal. Individual taste buds are unique and there is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily bind to traditional methods but let their experience, and discovery guide them. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies. You should try different amounts of tea, steeping time, and water temperature to find the perfect taste you'll fall in love with.

Iced teas
Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!
While some might call it blasphemous to add sweetener/sugar to high-quality loose-leaf teas, here in Texas, where sweet iced tea is a beloved tradition, we have been using our loose-leaf to uplift the iced tea experience.
We have tried and perfected the art of turning your favorite loose-leaf tea into a delicious iced delight.
It's time to try it for yourself. Here's how we do it:
Pro tip: Feel free to experiment with water amounts, temperature, steeping time, tea quantity, and sweetener quantity to find your perfect balance.
Steep suggestions for iced tea:
Amount of Water: 2 Liters
Amount of Loose Tea: 8-10 grams (2-3 teaspoons)
Steeping Time: 15-20 minutes
Steeping Temperature: 180-190°F
| Steps to Brew Iced Tea: |
|---|
| Step 1: Start with a 2-liter batch. Boil water, then remove it from heat. Let it cool for 3-4 minutes until it's around 190-200°F. |
| Step 2: Add loose-leaf tea. Add 8-10 grams (2-3 teaspoons) of your favorite loose-leaf tea. |
| Step 3: Steep the tea. Steep for 15-20 minutes or longer if you prefer a stronger brew. |
| Step 4: Strain and cool. Strain the tea, then let it cool down. Add ice. Pro tip: For the best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Then, serve it with ice cubes. |
| Step 5: Sweeten to taste. Add your favorite sweetener, but remember that balance is key— don’t let the sweetener overpower the tea’s flavor. (Pro tip: As you sip, let the tea linger in your mouth for a couple of seconds to fully enjoy its rich flavors.) |
