Perfect

This is in response to an email I was sent that asked me if enjoyed Rare Tea’s BLACK ICED TEA. How could I not! 14 grams of tea to a liter of water, left to infuse overnight - served without ice, without sweeteners and without lemon or other flavorings was Absolutely. Perfect.

Fantastic

I am fairly fussy about my iced tea and I had never had a cold fusion tea. Since I like my tea strong with a lot of ice, I just added the 50 g to 2 liters of water and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Fantastic! I have never had better iced tea. If you love iced tea or have never tried it before, try this one!

Tasting Notes

Malty and rich with a subtle sweetness. Smooth, silky and deep as a well.  Thirst quenching and refreshing this iced tea is not overly bitter and does not require sugar. Of course, a little extra sweetness can be added (we strongly recommend maple syrup which enhances the caramel notes of the tea) but the important difference is that this iced tea is utterly delicious on its own. 

Quantity

Use 12.5g of tea per 1 litre of cold water.

Temperature

For the optimum cold infusion use water around 4°C/40°F and keep in the fridge.

Time

Infuse for at least 8 hours in the fridge (or overnight – you don’t have to worry about over infusing).

Infusions

This iced tea blend is only suitable for one infusion.

Cost Per Cup

15p per cup based on 12.5g of tea per 1l of water, 150ml servings and 1 infusion.

For the most sublime flavour, we recommend infusing in cold water overnight – which creates the most nuanced and elegant flavour by slow extraction and is completely flavour stable in the fridge for 3-4 days. The cut is fine to increase the surface area – ideal for this long, cold method.

For an iced tea to sip without anything added, like a chilled glass of wine, please use 12.5g per 1 litre of cold filtered water.

If you are looking for something stronger and adding a lot of ice (which dilutes the tea) or perhaps you are using it as a lengthener for a cocktail (on non-alcoholic drink) then please increase it to 15g or 20g per litre. As with all our tea do please experiment a little to get it exactly the way you like it.

It can also be infused hot and left to chill for a more tannic bite. (In this instance it should be used within one day).

Satemwa Estate
Malawi

A unique blend of deep and rich, black tea from selected harvests across the Satemwa Estate in Malawi - crafted and blended for iced tea.

ACROSS THE USA

From Chateau Marmont to MoMa

This iced tea blend was originally created over a decade ago for our restaurant customers in USA –who wanted something rather better than the usual cheap and bitter brew drowned in sugar.  You can find it served across the US from the Chateau Marmont in LA to The Modern Restaurant at MoMa in New York. 

RARE TEA FLASK

Take your iced tea to another level

Our Rare Tea Flask is the perfect accompaniment to cold infusing iced tea.

Featuring extra tough double-walled borosilicate glass (BPA free) to keep your tea hot or cold, a stainless steel filter that can be removed for easy filling, and to top it off (sorry) a sustainable bamboo lid.

It's equally at home with hot or cold infusions, and will keep your tea at the correct temperature for several hours!

Strong enough to go in a daily bag and smart enough to be on your desk, this will take your iced tea to the next level.
