Not just in the summer, but also in other seasons, cold brew tea is considered to be the superior choice. It’s cool, tasty, and more importantly, healthier. Many nutrients get destroyed at temperatures over 40℃(1).
Studies (2) have found that cold brew tea provides the following health benefits, compared with traditionally brewed tea:
- Lower caffeine: normally contains only 1/3 the level of caffeine in traditional tea
- More anti-oxidants: Anti-oxidants are scientifically found to minimise the risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and many other health issues.
- Fewer excess elements (e.g., Fe and Al contents are higher in traditional teas)
However, not all teas can be cold brewed. They must be of excellent quality, because the tongue can distinguish the taste far better than teas brewed at high temperatures.
