Our most asked questions about East Forged Nitro Tea Brews

If you still have questions, please send us an email to hello@eastforged.com

Are your teas organic?

We value quality ingredients that are expertly grown and thoughtfully sourced. For us, the tea is always the hero and cold brewing is the way we showcase all the nuanced flavours the leaf has to offer. We love to source local when possible – our black tea is grown in far North Queensland near the World Heritage Wooroonooran National Park. No herbicides or pesticides are used. The Green Tea is grown in the Apline region of Victoria. The White Tea is USDA certified organic.  

How do we source our teas?

We buy directly from tea farmers that we have known for years.  We’ve spent a lot of travelling, studying, and sampling tea from producers of the world’s best tea growing regions. It’s important to us that we work closely with our farmers and producers to maintain quality, consistency of product, and to ensure our partner engagement is as transparent as possible. Engaging with the tea at the beginning of its journey enhances our appreciation for it, and inspires us to create an end product that aptly captures the flavours created in the hands of the farmers and their workers.

Do you added any sugar or sweeteners?

People expect our tea brews to be sweet but we don't add any sweeteners or sugar.  They have a Crisp and Clean taste. Our beverages include naturally occurring sugars from the fruits.  Results from the nutritional analysis show very low (less than) <0.2g sugar per 250ml can.  Calories are between 1.4 - 4

Is there any caffeine?

East Forged tea brews contain the natural goodness of quality tea leaves that have been steeped in cold water over a long time. Our teas are produced from the Camellia Sinensis plant that naturally contains caffeine. Each can of our Black Tea & Yuzu and White Tea & Calamansi contains 27.5 mg of caffeine. Our Green Tea & Pitaya contains 32.5 mg of caffeine per can. The caffeine levels are low and are about half the caffeine of a 30ml espresso and a fraction of energy drinks yet they still provide a gentle clean energy lift in your day!

Are the tea brews gluten free?

We don't use gluten ingredients. If you are Coeliac, we don't test every batch but when we do Gluten is not detected. The brewery is not Coeliac approved and there is the chance of cross-contamination.

How does the nitrogen affect the taste?

Nitrogen creates a smoothness unlike the lemony character of CO2 which is used to create the frizz in beverages. The nitrogen bubbles are smaller than CO2. When a nitrogen drink is poured, a creamy head is created as the very fine bubbles rise and surge to the top. We looked for an ingredient to add texture and not interfere with the natural flavour of tea. Read more here.
