Beverage

Passion Fruit Guava Green Tea is a bulk batch iced tea made by brewing green tea and adding Real Fruit Guava Passion Fruit Refresher concentrate, one bottle per gallon of brewed tea. It scales from a single gallon urn to a three gallon iced tea brewer, and it tastes the same whether your newest hire makes it or your most experienced bartender does.


That consistency is the point. Real fruit flavor without a recipe card that changes depending on who is behind the counter.


Caffeine content by cup


Caffeine depends on which tea leaves you brew, not on the Refresher. Use this to match the drink to your menu and your customer.

Tea Caffeine (16oz cup with ice)
Black tea 40 to 60 mg
Green tea 20 to 40 mg

If you want a lighter caffeine option next to a black tea Refresher drink, green tea is the one to put on the menu.


Why foodservice operators run this recipe


A concentrate does the flavor work that would otherwise take a bartender or barista real training to reproduce by hand, batch after batch, shift after shift. Guava and passion fruit are not an easy combination to fake with syrups, and you don't need to. One bottle, one ratio, same drink every time it's poured, whether it's a slow Tuesday or a packed Saturday with three people working the tea station.


It also fits into equipment you probably already run. Gallon urns, bubblers, and commercial iced tea brewers are standard in most foodservice kitchens, so this isn't a new piece of equipment or a new SOP to train around. It's a new drink on a system your staff already knows.
