If you’ve ever asked, “Should I brew my herbal tea hot or cold?” — you're not alone. At Tily Tea, we get this question all the time. And the truth is: you can enjoy our teas either way—hot or cold—depending on what your body (and taste buds) need.
Here’s your quick guide to getting the most wellness benefits out of every cup, whether you're steeping Through The Day, Radiant Glow, or a Breezy Calm.
🔥 Brew It Hot: Best for Classic Herbal Tea Blends
Our Classic range of functional herbal teas—like Good Gut, Evening Calm, and Through The Day—feature powerful root herbs such as:
-
Ginger
-
Codonopsis
-
Astragalus
These ingredients are best brewed with boiling hot water. Why? Because the heat helps extract their beneficial properties, including support for digestion, energy, immunity, and relaxation.
Want to drink it iced?
Totally fine. Just brew it hot, let it cool, and chill it in the fridge or pour over ice. You’ll still get all the benefits—just cooler. Or simply brew it cold, if you’re after a lighter flavour and benefits.

❄️ Cold Brew Teas: Go Lukewarm, Not Boiling
Our Cold Brew Collection (Vita Boost and Breezy Calm) are made with herbal leaves and flowers like:
-
Hibiscus
-
Oat Straw
-
Rooibos
-
Mulberries
These ingredients are featured for their higher antioxidants, which can break down in boiling water. So, for cold brew herbal teas, we recommend lukewarm or room temperature water to preserve their fresh flavour and nutritional value.
Can you drink cold brew teas warm?
Yes, certainly! Just avoid boiling water. Try steeping at ~80°C for a gentle warm tea that still protects those antioxidant properties.
