Crafted using two organic black tea cultivars often referred to as the "mochas of tea", our traditional iced tea is full-bodied, offering a malty flavor with a delicate spiciness.
We use high-grade pluck standard leaves. Packaged to sachets, each will steep to creamy sweet flavors with a thirst quenching sweetness in the finish. Some flavor of caramel and certainly spice. Taste is clean and lingering.
Our traditional iced tea does well steeped using either a hot or cold process.
Packaging includes 5 sachets, 1.4 ounces each. Each sachet yields 1 gallon of iced tea.

Black tea is a leaf that has been fully oxidized. This rigorous oxidization produces a tea of hearty rich flavors while reducing its astringency and bringing out a natural sweetness.
Flavors will range from bright, brisk, peppery, clean, and smoky to aromatic, bold, malty, nutty, spicy, and sweet. Blacks are known for long, delicately aromatic, and comforting aftertastes. Note, they are often enjoyed with milk or sweetener.

Deep flavor, rich color
The tea sachets for this iced tea are huge and each make at least a gallon of tea. It steeped beautifully and produced a deeply flavored, deeply colored tea. I stored it in refrigerated quart jars, made simple syrup and have the perfect drink for a hot summer.

Traditional iced tea
Traditional iced tea from Silk Road Teas is my daily beverage during the summer. It is delicious and refreshing without any bitterness. I do not even add sweetener or lemon. This tea is just right as brewed.
