Why is it a good deal?

If you drink iced tea, you probably expect to drink it from now until Labor Day — and we don’t expect the price to drop below that until then.

Why do I need this?

Sure, you can brew your tea the old-fashioned way with just a pitcher, tea bags, and boiling water, but this accessory significantly speeds up the process—and when you’re thirsty in a hot summer, that’s a big deal. Thanks to the patented Flash Chill technology, you can have a large, fresh glass of sweet tea in just ten minutes. All you do is place the tea in the brewing basket, pour boiling water over it, and let it steep until it reaches the required strength. Then remove the brewing basket, add ice, close the lid, shake for about 30 seconds and the tea will be ice cold. If you’re not new to making iced tea, you know that traditional methods take a lot longer. If you have time available, you can also skip the boiling part and add cold water and let it steep for four hours in the fridge for a cold drink.

To prevent the carafe from exploding while you remove the heat, the lid twists and closes at two points – making it leak-proof. This means you can take it on picnics without spilling. But if you keep it at home, it fits perfectly in the refrigerator door.

Plus, you can use whatever tea you want – that means you can use your fancy loose leaf tea!

What the reviewers say

More than 5,000 shoppers are already enjoying a refreshing summer drink.

Pros

“This was my favorite purchase this year,” said one rave reviewer he wrote. “I went for formal tea with my wife on a date at a local tea room inside a B&B. I ordered iced tea. The owner of the tea room used this iced tea maker and it made iced tea in 5 to 7 minutes. of waiting for the tea to cool and then cool. The tea room also sold them but I wasn’t going to pay the price so I went home and found it on Amazon for a much better price and bought it 2 days later. ice cream twice a week.”

“The product works even better than I thought,” another five star fan shared. “I use loose leaf teas and the mesh does a great job keeping everything in. I recommend it for anyone who drinks iced tea frequently.”

“My tea tastes better than ever!” gushed happy drinker. “Tea tastes so clean and crisp after sitting overnight in the fridge. It couldn’t be more convenient and affordable.”

Cons

Some buyers gave suggestions for the container.

“Almost perfect,” wrote one buyer. “My only suggestion if the base of the tea strainer could be unscrewed to make emptying and cleaning the basket easier, but this is a minor issue.”

Other buyer shared, “There are no measurements on the container. I started filling it in advance and using a sharpie to mark the pertinent marks since that’s all you’re supposed to do. I understand that this makes it aesthetically pleasing, but it bothers me a lot because I like to measure my teas exactly to make sure I have the right strength.
