Beat the Heat with Artisanal Iced Tea: Your Summer Companion

Why Cold Brew is Different from Iced Tea

Many people confuse iced tea with cold brew. The difference is more than just temperature.

  • Iced Tea is hot-brewed tea poured over ice. It often releases tannins that create bitterness and requires added sugar to balance the taste.

  • Cold Brew is steeped slowly in cool water. This gentle method extracts essential oils and natural compounds without bitterness, creating a smooth, refreshing drink packed with nutrients.

At Tchaba, our teas are crafted with exceptional leaf quality and natural oils that make them ideal for cold brewing. The result is a refined summer refreshment that tastes as good as it feels.

How to Make the Perfect Cold Brew

Cold brewing is simple and foolproof.

  • Loose Leaf Method: Use 5 grams of tea for 500 ml of cold, filtered water. Refrigerate for 6–8 hours.

  • Sachet Method: Use 1 sachet (approx. 2.5 g) for 250–300 ml of water. Refrigerate for 6 hours.

The slow steeping unlocks delicate aromas, antioxidants, and essential oils that hot water often destroys.

Why Cold Brew is Better

  • Smoother Taste: No harsh tannins, only clean and natural flavours.

  • Nutrient Preservation: Gentle extraction keeps antioxidants and essential oils intact.

  • Naturally Refreshing: No need for artificial sweeteners — our blends deliver flavour on their own.

  • Mindful Ritual: A wellness-focused alternative to sugary summer drinks.
