1- Cold Infusion Cold Teas

Cold teas have always been one of the most consumed beverages during the summer, they are refreshing, easy to find, and refreshing. There are dozens of different flavors and they are easy to find, but beware. 99% of cold teas already bottled in large distribution are products of very poor quality, with tons of added sugars, colorings, preservatives, and added flavors. Consumers are paying more and more attention to labels and how the drinks they order are produced.

That's why we recommend starting to offer in your venue cold brew maceration cold teas - or cold brew method - made with quality tea leaves and herbal teas.

Preparing cold teas and herbal teas with the cold brew method in your venue is very simple.

  1. Put the tea leaves in infusion in room temperature water - yes, no need to heat the water
  2. Place the container in the fridge for at least 2/3 hours

Kombucha is by far the least known of all the beverages in this article in Italy, but it is having an incredible success in countries like the United States, Canada, Brazil, England, and Germany. It is a fermented beverage obtained from tea combined with a culture of bacteria and yeasts called SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast). These are "good bacteria" and allies of our body like those found in yogurt and kefir.

In fact, Kombucha Tea is able to strengthen the bacterial flora of our intestines, has antioxidant properties from the tea (especially if prepared with green tea), is a powerful antibacterial, detoxifying, and ideal for liver and intestinal cleansing.
