These five loose-leaf teas were chosen because they taste better cold than hot. The butterfly pea flowers turn blue, then purple with lemon. The berry blends steep overnight into something that doesn't need sweetener. The black teas hold their flavor when you pour them over ice instead of going flat and bitter like bag tea does.
Most people brew them in a French press or directly in a pitcher. Two tablespoons of loose leaf in cold water. Refrigerate overnight. Strain in the morning. That's it. The hibiscus teas turn garnet-red. The Assam stays bold enough to cut through ice melt. The lavender Earl Grey doesn't go soapy the way it sometimes does hot.
All five work in cocktails. The Mixologist's Set exists because a bartender in Baltimore kept ordering Blue Butterfly, Midnight Berry, and Raven together for a menu she was building. Now it's a set.
Cold Brew or Hot Pour
Steep overnight in cold water for smooth, mellow tea. Or brew concentrated with hot water and pour over ice for immediate drinking. Both methods work. Cold brewing takes longer but never gets bitter.
Three Caffeine-Free, Two Caffeinated
Blue Butterfly, Midnight Berry, and Place in the Sun contain zero caffeine. Drink them at midnight if you want. Sunrise (Assam black tea) and Raven (Earl Grey) have natural caffeine for mornings or afternoons when you need it.
Color-Changing Blue Butterfly
Pure dried butterfly pea flowers brew deep indigo blue. Add lemon juice and watch it shift to bright purple. The color comes from anthocyanins in the flowers, not dye. Tastes subtle and earthy—best mixed with fruit or herbs.
Made for Mixing
The bartender set (Blue Butterfly, Midnight Berry, Raven) exists because these three layer well in mocktails and cocktails. Berry-forward base, floral complexity, color magic. Bartenders order them in bulk.
Glass Jars, Bulk Discount
Each tea comes in a reusable glass jar. Buy three or more jars and save 15% automatically at checkout. Mix and match any teas from the collection.
Iced Tea FAQs
Two tablespoons per quart of water. If you like it stronger, add another tablespoon. For cold brewing, add the tea directly to cold water in your pitcher, refrigerate 8-12 hours, then strain. For hot brewing, use a French press or teapot, brew concentrated, and pour over ice.
Sunrise (Kondoli Assam black tea) and Raven (organic black tea with lavender and bergamot) contain natural caffeine. Blue Butterfly, Midnight Berry, and Place in the Sun are completely caffeine-free—they're made from flowers, fruit, and honeybush or rooibos.
Not really. Place in the Sun and Midnight Berry have natural sweetness from the fruit pieces. Blue Butterfly tastes subtle on its own but works well with fruit or herbs. Sunrise and Raven have enough body to taste good unsweetened when cold. That said, add honey if you want it—we're not the tea police.
Cold brewing (steeping in cold water overnight) makes smoother, less astringent tea because it extracts fewer tannins. Pouring hot-brewed concentrated tea over ice is faster and gives you more immediate flavor punch. Both work. Cold brew wins on smoothness. Hot pour wins on speed.
Three to five days in a sealed pitcher. After that it starts tasting flat. The color stays vibrant but the flavor fades. If you're brewing a big batch, drink it within the week.
Most black teas (Sunrise, Raven) hold up to a second steep if you're using the hot-pour method. The herbal and flower teas (Blue Butterfly, Midnight Berry, Place in the Sun) give most of their flavor on the first steep, so reusing them gets you weaker tea. Your call.
Three jars: Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, Midnight Berry Tea, and Raven Earl Grey Tea with Lavender. It's the combination a Baltimore bartender kept ordering for her cocktail menu. The set saves you $8 compared to buying the three separately.
