The New Trend: Cold Brew Iced Tea

Summer’s here, the sun is out, and the heatwave is in full swing. While the days are glorious, they can also leave you craving something refreshing, healthy, and - if possible - calming. Enter: CBD iced tea, the ultimate two-in-one summer drink that cools you down and helps you chill out from the inside.

And the best part? With Four Twentea, making CBD iced tea is as easy as popping a tea bag into a jug of water and leaving it in the fridge overnight. Each bag contains 10mg of CBD, so you know exactly what you’re getting in every glass. It’s the perfect antidote to sugary sodas and canned pop, with all the flavour and none of the artificial junk.

Why Cold Brew CBD Tea Is a Summer Superstar

Effortless prep – No boiling water, no faff. Just drop a CBD tea bag into cold water, refrigerate overnight, and it’s ready when you are.

Smoother taste – Cold brewing naturally reduces bitterness and tannins, giving your tea a sweeter, more refreshing flavour profile.

Wellness benefits – CBD supports relaxation and calm, while hydration keeps your energy up. Bonus: cold brew tea often contains fewer tannins and less caffeine, making it gentler on the stomach.

Nutritional boost – A 2017 comparative study found that cold-brewed green tea contained higher levels of certain polyphenols and antioxidants compared to hot-brewed tea. More goodness, less effort.

Eco & budget friendly – Skip single-use plastic bottles and overpriced café drinks. Cold brew at home is cheaper and more sustainable.
