Understanding Tea Social Drinks
Tea provides natural structure through aroma and tannin. Black, green, herbal and fermented tea styles can become refreshing or sophisticated social drinks with citrus, fruit, herbs or carbonation.
What to notice
Compare tannin, aroma, sweetness, acidity and temperature. Over-sweetening can hide the character that makes tea useful in mixed drinks.
