Engineered for Clarity.
Crafted for Iced Tea.
For more than 30 years we've been supplying specially selected tea blends to customers producing iced tea for retail and foodservice markets. By selecting the right leaf grades and carefully balancing each blend, we create teas that retain their clarity, character and flavour when brewed and served cold.
Great iced tea depends on more than the blend alone. Brewing time, leaf quantity and preparation method all influence the finished result. Once we understand how your tea will be prepared and served, we'll recommend brewing guidelines to help you achieve the flavour, colour and clarity your blend was designed to deliver.
Why It Matters
Not Every Tea Performs the Same When Served Cold
The tea you choose is just as important as the way it's prepared. Some teas lose their brightness when chilled or develop cloudiness and excessive astringency. Others retain their clarity, aroma and refreshing character even after brewing and cooling.
For more than thirty years, CTPE has supplied carefully selected blends for customers producing iced tea in international markets. By choosing the right leaf grades and balancing the blend correctly, we create teas that perform beautifully whether they're enjoyed hot or brewed and served over ice.
The same blend can often be enjoyed in different ways. Brew it traditionally for a hot cup, or chill it to create a refreshing iced tea that retains the brightness and character of the original blend. Where required, we can also develop blends tailored to your preferred flavour profile, preparation method and market.
