Making cold brew tea differs from the traditional hot brewing process. If you’re wondering how to cold brew tea, here’s a little secret: instead of steeping tea leaves in hot water, cold brew tea is created by steeping tea leaves in cold or room temperature water over an extended period.

Our T2 cold brew tea bags make your life easier and only require brewing for 10 minutes in cold water, resulting in a smooth, refreshing, sweet tea over a glass of ice.

If you’re new to cold brew tea or reluctant to try it out, we’re here to tell you what makes cold brew tea an excellent choice for tea enthusiasts:

1. Enhanced flavour profile

   The cold brew method accentuates tea's natural flavours, resulting in a more nuanced taste to savour the intricate notes of your favourite tea leaves. At T2, we also use whole tea leaves rather than low-grade tea dust, so you can expect a complex, well-rounded flavour profile that takes you on a sensory journey with every sip.

2. Enjoy at any time of day

   At T2, our fruity cold brew tea bags are caffeine-free, perfect for enjoying a cuppa later in the day without disrupting sleep.

3. Cool down with a glass of cold brew tea

   What better way to brave the Aussie heat than your favourite fruity cold brew tea? At T2, we make our tea leaves with real fruit pieces to transport you to the tropics, so you can trust you’re getting the best cold brew tea that packs a punch. You can get creative and add extra fruits or sweeteners to create unique, refreshing infusions, making it an ideal beverage for hot summer days or a revitalising pick-me-up at any time.

In addition to our range of cold brew teas, teas suitable for cold brewing include herbal teas like chamomile and mint, fruit teas, green teas, white teas and light oolong teas. When steeped in cold water, these teas yield refreshing and naturally sweet cold beverages with nuanced flavours.

Cold brew tea offers several advantages over hot brew tea. It tends to result in a smoother and less bitter taste profile, accentuating the tea's natural flavours without the risk of over-extraction. Our non-caffeinated cold brew teas are a great choice to enjoy tea later in the day without sleep disruption.

You can also garnish your cold brew tea with fresh fruits to pack an even bolder flavour punch. With our cold brew tea bags only requiring 10 minutes to brew, we couldn’t think of a better accompaniment for hot summer days. Serve your tea over ice for a revitalising and thirst-quenching experience.

Yes, cold brew tea is typically less caffeinated than hot brew tea due to the brewing process. When steeping tea leaves in cold or room temperature water, the caffeine extraction is much slower than the rapid infusion that occurs when steeping tea leaves with hot water. As a result, the cold brew method typically yields a tea with a lower caffeine content, making it a preferable choice if you’re looking for a milder caffeine boost or want to enjoy tea later in the day without the risk of disrupting sleep.

At T2, our range of cold brew tea is a collection of caffeine-free fruit teas you can enjoy at any time of the day. Otherwise, you can purchase our other types of tea and cold brew it to your liking.
