About black iced tea

Black iced tea is chilled brewed tea without the citrus, sugar or dairy that define many named variations. This profile follows a simple cold-brewed version.

The flavour is clean, brisk and gently tannic, with cold extraction producing a softer bitterness than hot-brewed tea.

It is clear amber to deep copper and light-bodied, served thoroughly cold without sweetener or garnish.
