SHOTT — Precision Flavor for the Modern Canadian Beverage Program
By completely eliminating the labor-intensive need for steeping, cooling, and managing fresh tea batches, SHOTT’s Black Tea and Apple concentrate has redefined the modern iced tea station, empowering Western Canadian hospitality operators to deliver an uncompromisingly consistent, high-quality experience in every single pour. Crafted in New Zealand with real cold-brewed black tea and authentic apple juice, this concentrate provides a clean, tannic finish and a natural fruit sweetness that synthetic powders simply cannot replicate.

The professional 1-liter format offers a significant leap in operational ergonomics and storage efficiency, providing a high-volume reservoir in a compact footprint that fits seamlessly into standard speed rails or coffee station organizers. This 9:1 concentrate is specifically engineered to maximize your back-of-house real estate; one single 1-liter bottle produces 10 liters of finished craft beverage, drastically reducing the physical labor associated with handling heavy ready-to-drink cases or large brewing urns. By replacing messy, short-lived tea batches with this shelf-stable, high-yield dispenser, establishments can significantly improve service speed and hygiene, effectively removing the technical barriers to entry for artisanal fruit-infused teas during high-intensity service rushes.

Why Choose SHOTT 9:1 vs. Standard Iced Tea Bases?
Authentic Cold Brew Base
Unlike generic tea syrups that use tea extracts or powders, SHOTT utilizes a genuine cold-brew black tea process. This provides a smooth, tannic backbone and deep color that holds its own when mixed with fruit and ice.
9:1 Ultra-High Yield
Ditch the low-concentration retail syrups. This 9:1 professional ratio means a single 1L bottle produces 10 liters of finished tea, significantly lowering your storage requirements and shipping costs while maximizing profit margins.
Real Apple Juice Content
SHOTT uses real fruit juice to achieve its flavor profile, not just "natural apple flavorings." This delivers a crisp, authentic acidity and multi-dimensional sweetness that appeals to health-conscious "Clean Label" consumers.
Universal Hot/Cold Versatility
While optimized for iced teas, this concentrate is equally effective in hot applications. Use it as a base for "Spiced Hot Apple Tea" or as a floral booster for fruit-infused steamed lattes, reducing the need for multiple fruit SKUs.
Patented Shelf-Stable Hygiene
Say goodbye to the risk of bacterial growth in tea urns. SHOTT concentrates are shelf-stable for up to 90 days after opening, allowing your staff to serve a consistently fresh product with no daily brewing waste.

What is a 9:1 concentrate?
It is a professional-grade strength ratio. It means you mix 1 part of SHOTT concentrate with 9 parts of water (still or sparkling). A single 1-liter bottle yields 10 liters of finished drink.
Does this taste like "Real Tea"?

Is this concentrate good for cocktails?
Absolutely. It is a fantastic shortcut for "Tea Collins" or whiskey-based apple tea cocktails, providing a consistent flavor profile that standard brewing cannot match.
