Cold Brew White Tea

Silver Needle white tea cold-brewed overnight — the gentlest, most delicate cold brew you can make. Silky, barely-sweet, and almost ethereal. Cold brewing is actually the ideal method for white tea, extracting its subtle floral notes without any bitterness.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the white tea leaves in a large jar or pitcher. Pour the cold filtered water over and stir gently.

  2. 2

    Cover and refrigerate for 8–10 hours. White tea cold brews beautifully — the cold water extracts its delicate floral sweetness without any astringency.

  3. 3

    Strain gently through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pitcher. Do not press the leaves.

  4. 4

    Taste before sweetening — cold brew white tea is naturally sweet and may need nothing. Serve over ice with a thin lemon or cucumber slice.

Pro tip

White tea is arguably the best tea for cold brewing — the cold water method suits its delicate nature perfectly. Use filtered or spring water; tap water with chlorine will dull the subtle flavour. This is also excellent as a base for fruit infusions — add a few slices of peach or strawberry to the cold brew jar for a gentle fruit-forward version.
