Introduction: Preparing Tea with Cold Water
Tea does not have to be hot: with cold water you can make fruity iced teas and flavoured water in a few seconds, without boiling water and without brewing time. The 16 TEABALLS varieties are pressed extract pieces that dissolve in hot or cold water. The 8 organic varieties, by contrast, can only be enjoyed hot (24 varieties in total).
At the office, at home or on the go: put 3–5 TEABALLS into a glass with 250–300 ml of cold water, stir briefly and drink. Here you will find seven varieties and one bundle that suit cold water, with notes on flavour, ingredients and caffeine.
TEABALLS Lemon Vitamin C suits anyone looking for a drink without added sugar. The pressed pieces can be prepared hot or cold; for cold water, simply stir them into cold or iced water. They taste of fruity lemon. The ingredients include camomile extract, ascorbic acid and natural lemon flavouring; the variety contains no tea extract. According to the nutrition information on the product page, it contains 15 mg of vitamin C (19 % NRV). The bottle is easy to take along, whether to the office or to the gym.
TEABALLS Wildberry is made for anyone who wants to prepare tea without a bag, straight with cold water.
