Why Cold Brew Green Tea is Perfect for Summer

When summer heat leaves you feeling restless, few things are as satisfying as a cool, healthy drink. Compared with hot brewing, cold brew green tea reduces bitterness and caffeine while amplifying natural sweetness and aroma—no sugar needed.

  • Lower bitterness & caffeine vs. hot brew
  • Enhanced sweetness & aroma for a smooth finish
  • Beginner‑friendly and convenient—brew once, sip all day
  • Refreshing hydration with clean, tea‑forward flavor
Pro serving idea: Add ice and a slice of citrus (lemon or yuzu) to brighten florals without extra sugar.
Storage: Keep your cold brew sealed in the fridge and finish within 3 days for best taste.

How to Make Cold Brew Green Tea (Step‑by‑Step)

  1. Ratio: 1g tea : 100–150ml water (1:150 for lighter, 1:100 for richer).
  2. Water: Use mineral water for a cleaner, sweeter cup.
  3. Time: Refrigerate for about 4 hours. Don’t over‑steep or it may turn bitter.
  4. Boost flavor (optional): Quick hot rinse to “awaken” leaves before cold brewing.
