We created East Forged for people who don't like sugary sweet iced tea or other sweet non alcoholic beverages. If you like sweet, we may not be for you. East Forged has a crisp and dry taste. It tastes like tea, which often surprises people. The nitrogen frothy foam gives a lovely silky texture to the tea brew.
We prefer to support Australian-grown teas. The black tea is sourced from the Daintree region in Far North Queensland. The green tea is sourced from two locations in Australia - the Alpine region of Victoria and the Sunshine Coast hinterland of Queensland. The White Tea is from the Fujian province in China which is famous for it's white tea and it is USDA-certified organic.
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.
No, we don't add any sweeteners (natural or artificial) 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) <0.3g sugar per 250ml can. Calories are between 1.4 - 4
Yes, 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!
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.
Nitrogen creates a silky smooth texture and holds the aroma in the frothy foam. 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.
