Iced Tea is a delicious and refreshing way of enjoying good quality tea, especially on a hot summer's day. But not every tea is suitable for making Iced Tea. If you use the wrong one, it will cloud and won't taste great after an an hour or two of being chilled.
We've put together a selection of our teas that we think are ideal for making iced tea. Also check out our article "Making Iced Tea".
With a richly sweet and complex flavour, Lychee is an excellent companion to the smooth, bright flavour of China Congu tea. Great for any time of the day, this tea is particularly suitable for the summer and will make a good iced tea. Serve without milk.
Mint Green combines the refreshing astringency of fine-quality Sencha, Japan’s favourite speciality Green tea, with just a delicate hint of the sweet vibrancy of African Spearmint.
Congou is a general term indicating a black tea from China. Ours, from the Anhui Province, is naturally sweet and aromatic, with a bright, floral flavour. To be drunk preferably without milk.
Rose Congou, The Emperor of Teas, is a special and intriguing tea. A supple, firm non-broken black tea from China, its character becomes almost delicate and ethereal when infused with the scent of thousands of rose petals.
The thick, rich, pungent, citrus aroma of Formosa Orange Blossom Oolong hits you the second you open the packet. The flavour and scent go beyond orange - the delicious, sweet taste feels like being in a Mediterranean orangery. A remarkable tea that is equally perfect in summer and at Christmas.
A base of Green leaves, grown in the Anhui Province in China, mixed with real Jasmine petals to give a fine and delicate flavour. Excellent tea to aid after dinner digestion.
