When the skyscanner, booking.com and Icon Lingerie swimwear tabs have been constantly open on your browser since the beginning of May, it's a sign that summer is coming. Here at Kusmi, we look forward to the first rays of sunshine, frantically updating the weather app so we know when we can leave out the iced tea carafe for the season. In short, it's summer, and we've waited all year to be able to enjoy our iced teas from dawn until dusk. So, why not come and drink iced tea with us this year? We give you 4 very good reasons why you should finally give in to the temptation of Kusmi infusions and iced teas.
Quench your thirst with something different!
In summer, the terraces and seaside establishments encourage us to down cold drinks and quench our thirst with refreshments a little more funky than their tap water. At Kusmi, we cool off a little differently in summer with our deliciously fruity and floral fruit waters. So, which iced blend will tickle your taste buds?
Keen on tropical flavours? Dive head first into the crystal-clear waters of our AquaExotica organic infusion. Feeling like something gourmet? The red fruits and hibiscus of the AquaRosa is calling out your name. Experience the adventure of super-fruits and the benefits of goji berries with our AquaFrutti organic fruit water. And finally, AquaSummer. With a name like that, how can you resist the appeal of hibiscus iced fruit infusion with a peach flavour? Our fruit waters are available in loose leaf caddies or boxes of 6 large sachets, ideal for preparations of iced tea: an ultra-practical and ready-to-use format. It's very simple: 1 sachet = 1 litre carafe of iced tea.
While our non-theine fruit infusions are great for the whole family, we never neglect our theine addicts. Even less so, this summer! For a midday refocus, there is nothing better than a cold tea. Our organic mint green tea, for example, is excellent as an iced tea. And if the ice cube tray is empty, remember that a hot tea is just as thirst-quenching, and not to be discarded in the summer. On the contrary!
Portability and practicality
Iced tea in a sachet
In the sun, on the sand or on the pebbles: take your iced tea everywhere. Our iced teas and fruit waters are also perfect to take with you on a journey. You can easily pop the sachets into your suitcase. The ready to use and super practical format of 6 iced tea sachets is perfect when it's time for family refreshments. 1 sachet = 1 litre carafe of iced tea.
How do you make your homemade cold tea?
Step 1: Half fill a carafe with simmering water at 95°C => do not completely fill the carafe so as to leave room for the ice cubes.
Step 2: Choose from our 5 infusions and iced teas: AquaExotica, AquaSummer, AquaRosa, AquaFrutti or even Green tea with mint. Immerse the sachet in your carafe.
Step 3: Relax and let the mixture infuse your fruit water. (7 to 10 minutes).
Step 4: Add lots of ice cubes.
Step 5: Your homemade cold tea is ready! You can finally toast, drink and share.
Iced tea in loose format
Our fruit waters are obviously available in a loose leaf caddy which allows you to promote zero waste and to refill it indefinitely. The principle remains the same: infuse your tea mixture for 7 to 10 minutes, then add your ice cubes and you have a healthy and delicious homemade cold tea.
For fans of zero waste, while out on a jaunt don't forget your insulated container. At Kusmi, we particularly like the double-walled glass teapot from Qwetch which allows you to carry your infusion everywhere with you and to infuse your loose leaf tea all day long.
100% theine-free iced infusions, ideal for the whole family, all day long
Another advantage of our frozen fruit waters? Our iced infusions are 100% theine-free and great for everyone: children and adults alike (and even pregnant women). Healthy, sugar-free and 100% theine-free, our iced infusions are also excellent alternatives to the fizzy drinks & similar so craved by children. Goodbye to industrial iced tea and hello to homemade peach infusion. AquaSummer or AquaFrutti are sure to be hits with your little ones. And the little extra of our organic fruit waters? AquaRosa, AquaSummer, AquaFrutti and AquaExotica can also be used in refreshing recipes. You can even make sugar-free ice-pops, bubble tea or even granita with our organic herbal teas.
Finally, our theine free iced infusions can be drunk well into the evening. Toast with a glass of iced infusion as an aperitif? Why not?! After dinner or early in the morning, we like to think that there is no specific time for a glass of iced infusion.
An organic, healthy and iced tea that is made in France
Last but not least, by choosing Kusmi iced tea you choose an organic iced tea, made in Normandy. From nature to our tea caddies, in a single step! We are committed to putting preservation of the planet, respect for Mankind and nature in all its forms at the forefront of our concerns. In short, to have a positive impact on the world around us. Our aromas play an essential role in our flavoured iced teas so they will please all tastes. The aromas or essential oils of our organic iced blends are of natural origin, in other words, they are extracted directly from nature. This summer, dive into a carafe of organic iced tea, healthy and made in France.
