Tea Forte Re-Imagines Iced Tea with the Introduction of Tea-over-Ice

17/04/08 Tea Forte, the innovator of the contemporary tea experience, announces the re-imagination of iced tea with Tea-Over-Ice. This revolutionary expression of iced tea begins with extravagantly blended tea infusions that are brewed fresh and then flash-chilled using the innovative, sculptural Tea-Over-Ice brewing pitcher. This unique flash-chilling technique locks in the fresh, luscious flavors and healthful antioxidants that have long been associated with hot tea.

“While iced tea has become wildly popular, we have lost what is inherently wonderful about tea: its natural, robust flavor and healthful antioxidants,” said Peter Hewitt, the founder of Tea Forte. “Tea-Over-Ice restores these benefits within the iced tea experience, delivers an opulent palate of rejuvenating health benefits and offers a boldly original tableside presentation. It is a complete re-imagination of iced tea.”

At the heart of the Tea-Over-Ice experience are Tea Forte’s signature tea infusions, specially blended for iced tea using nature’s bounty of luscious fruits, healing herbs and flowers. Four Tea-Over-Ice blends have been developed, each delivering an extravagantly delicious taste profile that carefully balances the fruit-forward flavors that are perfectly suited for iced tea:

* White Ginger Pear: This alluring and inventive blend of white tea and Japanese pear is delicately balanced with ginger to produce a light and refreshing beverage.
* Raspberry Nectar: Raspberries meld with ruby red hibiscus and blackberry to create this pungent, full-bodied herbal iced tea.
* Pomegranate Blackberry: The crisp Ceylon Estate tea is blended with the essence of pomegranate and berries for an invigorating blend.
* Ceylon Gold: For serious and robust refreshment, organic Ceylon Gold iced tea raises the bar on a well-loved classic.
