Tea cocktails are a unique and delicious twist on the traditional cocktail, incorporating the rich flavors and benefits of tea into a refreshing and sophisticated drink. Ahista Tea is a particularly great choice for creating tea cocktails, as we're known for our high-quality, hand-crafted teas that are carefully sourced from small farmers in India. In this blog post, we'll explore the world of tea cocktails and how you can use our teas to create your own delicious and creative concoctions.

First, let's take a look at the history of tea cocktails. While the idea of mixing tea with alcohol may seem like a modern invention, the concept actually dates back centuries. During the 1800s, tea was often served with a splash of brandy or sherry to add warmth and depth to the flavor. In the early 20th century, tea cocktails really started to take off, with classic recipes like the "Tea Cup," a mixture of tea, brandy, and sugar, and the "Teapot," made with tea, brandy, and lemon juice.

Today, tea cocktails have evolved to include a wide variety of ingredients and flavors. From sweet and fruity to spicy and savory, there's a tea cocktail out there to suit every taste. Some popular ingredients used in tea cocktails include fruit juices, syrups, herbs, spices, and liqueurs.

So, how can you use our teas to create your own delicious tea cocktails? First, it's important to choose the right type of tea for your cocktail. Ahista Tea offers a wide variety of teas to choose from, each with its own unique flavor profile. For a sweeter, fruity cocktail, you might want to try using a black tea like Ahista's Darjeeling or Assam, both of which have a bold, robust flavor that pairs well with sweet ingredients. For a more refreshing and light cocktail, you might want to try using a green tea like Ahista's Dragonwell, which have a delicate, grassy flavor that pairs well with citrus and herbs.
