From a refreshing break to an evening ritual, discover the wide range of cold beverages that can be prepared with high-quality filter paper solutions, even during the hottest months of the year.
With the arrival of summer, the way we enjoy our favourite beverages also changes. At home, in cafés, or at the office, demand is growing for iced teas, chilled herbal infusions, and coffee served over ice — perhaps with a touch of plant-based milk or a hint of vanilla.
More and more manufacturers are expanding their product ranges with cold beverages in tea bags or pods, offering easy-to-prepare solutions that are ideal for summer consumption. This is where cold beverages made with filter paper come into play: practical, sustainable, and technically reliable solutions for creating ready-to-drink products, even during the warmer months.
Carte Dozio offers a selection of Magnera filter papers — an internationally recognised brand known for reliability and certifications — ideal for the production of tea bags, coffee pods, and capsules suitable for infusions to be enjoyed both hot and cold.
Here are some ideas for those looking for practical and versatile solutions, even during the hottest season:
1. Flavoured iced teas
Mint green tea, lemon black tea, peach oolong tea… Natural flavours are enhanced through effective cold infusion. Magnera filter papers ensure clean and uniform extraction, preventing breakage and unwanted residues.
2. Relaxing or detox herbal infusions served cold
Chamomile and lavender for the evening, or draining blends based on fennel, hibiscus, and liquorice: these beverages can easily be prepared by infusing tea bags in cold water for several hours.
Magnera filter papers, also available in Home Compost and Industrial Compost versions, support manufacturers focused on sustainability.
3. Cold espresso or long coffee, also with milk
One of the most popular summer drinks is iced coffee, prepared by pouring coffee directly over ice cubes. It is also perfect in a “cold milk & coffee” version, perhaps with a touch of flavoured syrup.
Coffee pods made with Magnera filter paper ensure uniform extraction, excellent integrity, and outstanding cup performance — including “on the rocks” applications.
4. Functional beverages and vitamin infusions
Ginger, turmeric, echinacea, rooibos… Functional blends are increasingly popular during summer, often combined with fruit extracts or minerals.
A high-performance filter paper is essential to ensure content integrity and effective dispersion of active ingredients.
5. Iced matcha and instant tea beverages
Modern preparations such as iced matcha or instant mixes in tea bags also require high-performance materials. Magnera provides filter solutions with customised basis weights, ideal for heat-sealed tea bags and single-dose packaging.
