Chinese Green Tea for Iced Tea
Cold Brew and Chilled Extraction Green Tea Base for Bottled, Canned and Food Service Iced Tea
This Chinese green tea is supplied as a base grade for iced tea production, covering both cold brew and chilled extraction methods. The material is selected for balanced astringency and stable color under low-temperature extraction, where excessive astringency or dull liquor color is the main defect in finished iced tea. Particle range is set by sieve to suit cold brew steeping time, chilled extraction systems, or concentrate production. The tea is supplied without added flavoring, so sugar, acid, fruit flavor, and antioxidant adjustments remain under the buyer's control. Extraction parameters, particle specification, moisture level, packaging format, and order terms are confirmed per project.

Core Advantages
Balanced astringency under cold extraction
Cold and chilled extraction release less astringency than hot brewing. The base is selected so the finished iced tea keeps enough structure without turning harsh during longer extraction or holding time.
Stable liquor color after chilling
Particle range and moisture control are set with chilled storage in mind, since liquor color and haze are common quality issues in bottled and canned iced tea after cooling.
Neutral base for flavor system control
The tea is supplied without added flavoring, so sugar, acid, fruit flavor, and antioxidant adjustments stay with the buyer. This reduces rework when matching a target iced tea profile.
Particle range matched to extraction method
Cold brew steeping, chilled extraction, and concentrate production each need a different particle range. Sieve selection is matched to the method to keep extraction time and yield predictable.
Product Features
Applications
Cold brew tea production
Used as the steeping input for cold brew green tea, including retail bottles and food service dispensers.
Chilled extraction lines
Supplied for chilled extraction systems where lower astringency and stable color are required at production scale.
Flavored iced tea beverages
Serves as the neutral green tea body for lemon, peach, mint, and other iced tea flavor systems.
Iced tea concentrate
Used as the brewing input for concentrate production, later diluted at the food service or bottling stage.
Food service iced tea supply
Supplied in bulk for restaurants, cafes, and hotel outlets running house iced tea programs.
Manufacturing & Supply Capabilities
Production for this iced tea base covers primary green tea processing and sieve grading after drying. Particle range, fine particle ratio, and moisture level can be adjusted against order requirements to match cold brew steeping time, chilled extraction systems, and downstream filtration. Bulk supply capacity, production scheduling, and repeat order support are confirmed against specific order quantity and delivery timing. Batch and production records can be provided for traceability against buyer requirements.
B2B Buyer Considerations
Extraction method and steeping time
Cold brew steeping and chilled extraction require different particle ranges and contact times. The specification should be matched to the method in use and confirmed through trial extraction.
Astringency and color after chilling
Astringency and color change on cooling and during shelf life. Buyers usually confirm these after chill testing rather than relying on hot brew results alone.
Trial extraction before order
Sample extraction under the actual cold or chilled conditions is the standard way to set the specification, since hot brew results do not predict iced tea performance.
Packaging and export requirements
Industrial bulk packaging is the standard format for iced tea input. Label content, shipping marks, and export documents are confirmed against destination market requirements.
Repeat order consistency
For buyers running continuous iced tea lines, batch-to-batch extraction consistency and delivery scheduling are key factors in supplier selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The particle range can be set for cold brew steeping or for chilled extraction systems. The applicable range depends on steeping time and equipment, and is confirmed through trial extraction before bulk purchase.
Astringency is affected by the base tea selection, particle range, extraction time, and temperature. Cold extraction releases less astringency than hot brewing, so steeping time and tea ratio should be set against the actual iced tea process.
Haze and sediment after chilling are usually linked to particle size, extraction conditions, and mineral content in the water. Particle limits and downstream filtration should be agreed together to meet the clarity requirement.
The tea is supplied as a plain green tea input without added flavoring or sweetener. Sugar, acid, fruit flavor, and antioxidant adjustments are made by the buyer at the beverage formulation stage.
Lead time is typically affected by order quantity, particle specification, packaging format, and export document preparation. Specific delivery timing is provided after order specifications are confirmed.
Inspection reports and export documents can be provided against order requirements, with specific items confirmed according to destination market regulations. No uniform commitment is made on this page.
Bulk Inquiry: Provide target quantity, extraction method, steeping time, clarity requirement, packaging format, and destination market so that available specifications, sample arrangements, and delivery terms can be confirmed.
