A brisk yet mellow blend of teas, made especially for brewing iced tea. iced tea is an altogether different drink than hot tea, and it requires teas that have a more smooth and refreshing flavor. summer house contains three teas from china and india, and the blend has a slightly sweet and toasty note with a mildly brisk flavor. for the best tasting iced tea, we strongly recommend brewing your tea leaves with boiling water, and then chilling the liquor. only boiling water can release the flavor and aroma from tea leaves, and preparing tea from lukewarm or cold water is a complete waste. summer house may cloud slightly when iced, but this is a natural property of fine teas from certain origins, and does not affect flavor. each 4 oz tin of loose leaf tea makes about 40 cups.
