Satamatie's summer 2019 iced tea has become hugely popular since it was added to the range, and it's no wonder. We make the tea ourselves and it's the result of extensive testing. The café made countless test versions, eventually finding the optimal combination of sweetness and freshness.
As the name suggests, iced tea is a great drink for a hot summer day or as an alternative to Lehmus Roastery's high-quality coffees. You don't always have the energy to drink an iced latte, another summer favorite.
On the other hand, you can't always make it to Satamatie when you're in need of some iced tea. So here we're sharing our recipe for making good tea at home.
