Elevated ROC™ Iced Tea & Cold Brew

It goes without saying, hot days call for cold drinks. When it comes to summer refreshment, there’s nothing like the simple, pure, flavorful invitation of a tall glass of ROC™ iced tea. The possibilities are endless, from the classic pour over ice to a dressed-up variation featuring sliced fruit, citrus, and herbs.

This summer, take your icy beverages to the next level with The ORGANIC INDIA ROC™ Tea lineup. Choose from our serene Purely Chamomile, robust Purely Assam Black Tea, and potent classic Tulsi Original varieties. Deepen the flavors by pre-freezing brewed tea in ice cube trays to fill your glasses when you’re ready to serve.

When you’re feeling extra chill, we love our iced tea slushie-style. Just add brewed, chilled tea to a blender with tea ice cubes; aim for a 1-1 or 2-1 ratio of tea to ice depending on how smooth you want your beverage, but no need to be too exacting as you can adjust as you blend until you reach your desired consistency.  Cold Brew, Hot Brew, Ice Brew, Blended Slush-style–whatever route you take, you’re guaranteed a summer sipper worth lingering over.
