What You Need to Know
Cold brew tea preparation involves a slow extraction of tea polyphenols and other compounds from the tea leaves into the water through a process of slow diffusion, resulting in a unique flavor profile. The chemical reaction is characterized by the solubilization of tea solids into the water, yielding a beverage rich in antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. The process is heavily influenced by factors such as steeping time, temperature, and the ratio of tea leaves to water.
