Simple Steps for Delicious Cold Brewed & Iced Tea at Home!

Homemade Iced Teas Have Never Been Easier to Make with Products & Blends That Make It Quick, Mess-Free & Delicious!

It’s that time of year again – sunny, sweltering Summer is here. While we can all easily make the switch from our hot cappuccinos to refreshing cold brew coffees, there is only so much caffeine our bodies can handle in a day. So what are we to do? Drink plain ol’ water?

While an icy cold water on a day when the heat is punishing is very good for you, it’s not quite as exciting to the palate as an iced tea. Which is why this summer Crema Coffee Garage is bringing you a brand new range of fruity iced teas!

The Tea Drop range of new Iced Teas are delicious and, most importantly, healthy!

            

These Tea Drop teas don’t contain added sugars, preservatives or artificial flavours - only those natural fructose sugars found in the dried fruit pieces in the teas and some blends include stevia leaves which is a 100% natural sweetener, so they taste fruity and sweet enough to satisfy those cravings. This also makes them a great replacement for juice, cordial or soft drink in any household and we have already seen a rise in our customers opting for cold-brewed or iced tea over other sweet beverages. Even kids are happily chugging them down without complaint!

Or if you have less wholesome ideas in mind, cold-brewed tea is perfect for making cocktail mixers or fruity punches – we won’t tell!

What makes this Iced Tea range even better is they are super easy to make. What’s not to love?

Our new Tea Drop Iced Tea (RRP $40.00 for a 30 pack) range is fantastic for those needing an instant hit. Each tea bag makes 1 litre of tea – a whole pitcher to share (or not!) – in as little as 20 minutes, so you can skip the 8-12 hours of cold brewing time if you are in a rush. There are 3 flavours available to try:

• Berry Sparkle – The infusion features a refreshing chorus of blueberries, blackcurrant, cherry and strawberry, with rosehip and hibiscus adding exotic elements to this beautiful blend.
• Merry Mint – The infusion features mint, hibiscus, rosehip with natural strawberry and natural mint flavour to create this sweet and minty fresh blend.
• Zesty Red – The infusion features hibiscus, rosehip, orange peel, lemon peel, lemongrass with natural lemon & natural lemongrass flavour to create this zesty, citrus blend.

We also trialled and ordered in some beautiful new loose leaf fruit teas for cold brewing. These flavours include:

• Fruits of Eden – Just like the name, this tea contains a rich mix of juicy tropical fruit and berry pieces with hibiscus adding a lovely tangy finish
• Birthday Cake – A beautiful blend of flower petals, fruit pieces, stevia leaves and natural flavours combine to make a tea that served hot or cold – tastes just like birthday cake! Now available in a Christmas Gift Pack with the Hario Filter in Bottle Cold Brew Tea Maker!
• Summer Kiss – A tasty fruit tea with blackcurrant, apple and blackberry flavours with a hint of cherry aftertaste.
