Adventurous Tea Drinker? Try Ice Wine Tea

Posted on | October 14, 2008 | No Comments

Consider yourself an adventurous tea drinker? Then, try Ice Wine tea. Ice Wine tea is made with premium high grown tea from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) infused with natural and Ice Wine flavors.

To make Ice Wine, Vidal or Riesling grapes are left on the vine until after the first frost hits, usually in late November. The grapes are picked on freezing cold nights when the temperature is less than 17 degree F or -8 degrees C.

At this temperature, the frozen grapes are as hard as marbles and during pressing, water is driven out as shards of ice. This leaves a highly concentrated juice very high in acids, sugars and aromatics, which are the required elements for perfect Ice Wine.
