It’s hard to find a better summer drink than a refreshing glass of iced tea. When it comes to the ideal pour, however, not just any tea will do. After all, the northeastern palate isn’t typically accustomed to the syrupy sweet tea of the South. Yet that molasses-forward sweetness is the flavor profile that most hard iced tea brands are modeled after. That’s why the team at 2SP Brewing Company created Northeast Tea—a hard tea option suited to the northeastern palate.
If a sip of sweet tea transports you to a hot summer day in Georgia, Northeast Tea tastes more like a stroll along the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk accompanied by a gentle sea breeze. Whether you spend your summers camping at Lums Pond, wildlife watching at Cape Henlopen or barbecuing in your own backyard, this drink complements all of our favorite Delaware summer activities.
“In the Northeast, iced tea is served in its natural goodness with only a touch of sweetness,” the brewery explained in its new release announcement. Northeast Tea stays true to that flavor profile.
@delawaretodaymagazine Northeast Tea just might be the drink of the summer! ☀️ Find it at 2SP Brewing and at wine and spirits stores across PA, MD & Delaware! #delaware #fyp #drinktok ♬ Happy Summer – Vin Music
With canned cocktails being all the rage for the past few summers, warm-weather drinkers are always looking for the next convenient can to pop open while enjoying their favorite spring and summer activities. Yet a lot of the canned cocktail options are sweet, syrupy and carbonated, which isn’t everyone’s “cup of tea.”
Northeast Tea is brewed with real black tea, a subtle touch of sweetness and a hint of citrus, just like the freshly brewed iced teas prevalent throughout northeastern households. The resulting product is only 85 calories, uncarbonated and subtly sweet. The 4% alcohol content makes it an easy sipper for those warm summer days. Plus, each 12oz can also only contains one gram of sugar and two grams of carbs. Serve it over ice with a lemon slice or pop one open and enjoy straight from the can.
