Organic Cold Brew Green Tea with Lemon

"If you’ve ever had cold brew coffee, you’re probably aware of how smooth and mellow it is, especially compared to hot brewed coffee. There’s some science behind that difference: when coffee grounds are mixed with hot water, they tend to release the coffee’s tannins, the chemicals that give coffee its natural, bitter edge (they’re also what gives red wine its “dry” flavor). With cold water, however, the tannins typically stay in the grounds, leaving a smoother, easier-drinking beverage. The same principle applies to tea: the colder and longer the steeping time, the mellower and rounder-flavored the tea. Need proof? Look no further than Trader Joe’s Organic Cold Brew Lemon Green Tea. Made especially for us by an expert tea supplier in Thailand, this Organic Cold Brew Green Tea is made with lush, earthy green tea leaves, sweetened with a bit of organic cane sugar, and balanced with a squeeze of lemon juice. The result is a bright, sweet, and mellow tea."
