These instant mixes became popular with the introduction of flavored green tea products in the market. To make these mixes, once the tea is brewed and liquefied, it is then concentrated and dried into powder form.

Iced green tea offers cool refreshment during hot days, in addition to certain health benefits. Unflavored iced green tea contains zero calories; however, sweetened version usually has fewer calories compared to soft drinks or juices. Loose tea leaves are soaked in liquid medium, where they get ample room to absorb water and expand as they infuse it. This allows the liquid to flow through the leaves and extract a wide range of vitamins, minerals, flavors, and aromas.
