B.W. Cooper’s Iced Brew Teas Concentrated Iced Tea
I am a huge tea lover. I grew up drinking hot tea in the evenings and with dinner on many occasions. I have been drinking tea all of my life. So I think it is pretty safe to say that I have drank my fair share of hot tea and iced tea to know what I like. I was super excited to try out a cool concept in tea from a US company called B.W. Cooper’s Iced Brew Teas. They make concentrated iced tea and I was intrigued.
I was sent 4 of their flavors to try out for this review and I was so happy they sent flavors that I like! Unsweetened Tea, Sweet Tea, Pomegranate Tea (Sweet), and Half & Half Lemonade Tea (Sweet). These come in 4 oz bottles that are in slender bottles that are perfect for taking with you anywhere.
Since these are a concentrate, there are many ways that you can use them. One entire bottle makes 1 gallon of tea so if you have a gallon tea jug, you can whip this up quick and easy. Same with a half gallon or 2 quart pitcher; just use 1/2 a bottle. I make mine by the glass and it is done in a hurry! I fill my cup with ice, add in a bit of tea concentrate and add water. Done! I love this!
No boiling water and waiting for the tea to steep. No having to wait until it cools down to finish making the tea. And many times when it is hot or I have a large crowd, 1 gallon of tea is gone in a flash! Using the Cooper’s Tea, I no longer will have that issue. I can make another jug or glass in a minute.
So, what about the taste? Well, for one thing, I do have to tell you that the concentrate by itself is not good. My hubby had to find that out for you all. *sigh* – My response was DUH, its a concentrate, but boys will be boys! LOL But once you make that glass or pitcher, it is fabulous! This has become my go to, I will not leave home without it, tea.
I drink the Unsweetened most of the time. There is no bitterness at all. None. I just get pure tea flavor. My Son is into sweet teas so he loves that one. The Pomegranate is everyone’s favorite. It has an amazing taste and since I really do not want to sugar, I make mine with 3 parts Unsweetened and 1 part Pomegranate and that is Awesome! Hubby loves the Half and Half, which has a wonderful flavor too! I honestly cannot rave about these enough! Our whole family is really enjoying them.
My favorite part is that these mini bottles are portable. You can take them with you and add a bit into your water bottle when you are on the go, if you want something a bit different. I have already told 3 people about these wonderful product and I hope they pass it on too!
B.W. Cooper’s Iced Brew Teas use premium tea leaves that are brewed and concentrated to make these signature blends. They even won a prestigious taste test, the North American Tea Competition, with their Half and Half on May of this year as well as other prizes too.
