๐ŸŒŠ Goan Iced Tea โ€“ Citrus & Floral Refreshment

Breezy, bright, and irresistibly refreshing โ€” our Goan Iced Tea captures the spirit of Southern India in every sip. Inspired by the journey of ocean breezes drifting from Goa's golden beaches across Kerala's lush coastline to the misty Nilgiri Blue Mountains, this blend is a true taste of the tropics.

Crafted from premium Nilgiri black tea, the cup is uplifted by a lively splash of citrusy bergamot and delicate floral notes, creating an iced tea that's far more vibrant and aromatic than your everyday lemon tea.

Packed in 100% biodegradable, corn-fibre pyramid tea bags (plastic-free) and stored in double-lid tin caddies to lock in freshness and aroma.

๐ŸŒฟ Why This Tea? Most iced teas are an afterthought โ€” a hot tea reluctantly served cold, or a sugary, artificially flavoured approximation with little genuine character. Goan Iced Tea was crafted specifically and intentionally to be brilliant over ice, and the difference is immediately apparent. The choice of Nilgiri black tea as its base is itself a mark of considered craft โ€” Nilgiri teas from the Blue Mountains of Southern India are uniquely prized for their bright, clean, naturally fragrant character that stays smooth and refreshing rather than bitter when chilled, making them the finest iced tea base that Indian tea produces. To this, bergamot adds its lively citrus elegance โ€” the same sophisticated aromatic that defines Earl Grey โ€” while delicate floral notes lift the cup into something far more vibrant and complex than any ordinary lemon iced tea. The result is an iced tea that captures the breezy, tropical spirit of India's southern coastline โ€” bright, aromatic, and genuinely refreshing in a way that bottled and artificial alternatives simply cannot approach.

๐Ÿ‘ค Who Is It For? This blend is for the iced tea lover who has grown tired of sugary, artificial, one-dimensional alternatives and wants a cold drink with genuine tea character, real aromatic complexity, and zero artificial ingredients. It's for the summer entertainer who wants to serve guests something far more memorable and sophisticated than lemonade or shop-bought iced tea โ€” a citrus-floral Nilgiri brew that tastes of the Southern Indian coast. It's for the bergamot and Earl Grey lover who wants that beloved citrus elegance reimagined as a refreshing cold drink, and for anyone who simply wants their warm-weather hydration to feel like a genuine pleasure rather than a compromise. It's the perfect blend for beach days, garden afternoons, and any moment when the weather calls for something cold, bright, and beautifully refreshing.

๐Ÿ•˜ When to Drink It? Goan Iced Tea is, by its very nature, a warm-weather daytime drink โ€” and within that, it has a few moments of particular brilliance. On hot afternoons, served cold over ice, it delivers exactly the bright, citrus-floral refreshment that the heat demands โ€” far more interesting and aromatic than water, far more wholesome and sophisticated than anything sugary or artificial. For summer entertaining, brew a large batch, chill it, and serve it in a pitcher over ice with a few slices of fresh lemon or lime and a sprig of mint โ€” its breezy, tropical character making it an instant centrepiece for garden parties, beach days, and warm-weather gatherings. As a mid-morning or lunchtime refresher, its medium caffeine provides a gentle, cooling lift that refreshes without the heaviness of a hot drink on a warm day. For the best possible result, cold brew overnight in the fridge โ€” the slow, cold steeping drawing out the Nilgiri tea's bright character and the bergamot's citrus elegance without a trace of bitterness โ€” then serve over plenty of ice. Sweeten lightly with honey or a splash of fruit juice if desired, garnish generously, and drink it the way the southern Indian coast intended โ€” cold, bright, and breezily, irresistibly refreshing.

Brian โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Cold brewed a batch overnight and the citrus came through so clean, no bitterness at all. It's become my default pitcher for weekend afternoons on the balcony.

Abigail โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

I steeped it hot for about four minutes, then poured it over a tall glass of ice and the citrus-floral notes really opened up. It stays smooth instead of turning bitter, which is exactly what I want from a black tea built for icing. Already on my second pouch.

Eva K. โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

The citrus notes really come through crisp and clean over ice, and the floral finish keeps it from tasting like a generic sweet tea. I've been brewing a half-gallon every morning since it arrived, and it's become my daily afternoon ritual.
