Iced Teas, Tisanes, and Infusions
World Par-Tea offers premium loose-leaf teas made with 100% natural ingredients, ideal for iced teas, tisanes, and infusions. These refreshing drinks are perfect for summer but enjoyable year-round. Black, green, and caffeine-free herbal teas can be iced, while fruit blends make a fun, natural alternative to sugary drinks for children when paired with fresh fruit slices.
How to brew Iced Tea
Brew your favorite tea (1 teaspoon per 200ml) in hot water, steep for 3–5 minutes, and strain or remove the infuser. Chill the brew in the fridge for 2–3 hours. Sweeten with raw honey dissolved in warm water and serve with ice, citrus slices, or mint.
Tips for Perfect Iced Tea:
-
Opt for loose-leaf tea or pyramid bags to allow flavors to bloom.
-
Use filtered water for enhanced flavor.
-
Adjust water temperature: boiling for black teas and tisanes, cooler for green or white teas to avoid bitterness.
-
Use 1–2 teaspoons of tea per cup depending on leaf size; brew double-strength for quick iced tea.
-
Steep black teas for 3–5 minutes, lighter teas for 2–3 minutes. Herbal tisanes are less prone to bitterness.
-
Maximize flavonoids by drinking freshly brewed tea or adding citrus juice to cold batches for preservation.
Rich in health-boosting flavonoids, tea is known to support heart health and circulation, with no downsides to enjoying a cup or two daily. Stay refreshed and reap the benefits with World Par-Tea!
Chai Brewing
"Chai" simply means "tea" in Chinese and Indian languages, but Masala Chai—a blend of black tea and spices—has a rich history spanning thousands of years. Today, the term "chai" is broadly used to describe spiced teas, including caffeine-free varieties that don’t contain black tea. Chai lattes, a popular variation, combine chai blends with milk, often sweetened with sugar or honey for added indulgence.
