The Cold Brew Hack

Cold-brewing tea is one of the easiest ways to experience a completely different side of the tea leaf. Because cold water extracts flavors much more slowly, it leaves behind the bitter catechins and sharp caffeine, allowing the leaf's natural, mellow umami and smooth sweetness to take center stage. Plus, the liquor retains a stunningly vibrant, crystal-clear green color.

But here is the ultimate insider secret for those busy mornings or colder days: you can take your beautifully cold-brewed tea and gently warm it up in the microwave.

Because the bitter components were never extracted in the first place during the cold brew process, heating it up later will not make it bitter. You are left with a perfectly comforting, incredibly sweet, and smooth hot cup of tea with zero hassle. It is the ultimate luxury convenience hack for tea lovers on the go.
