I am not going to add this to my cupboard because we are turning it into iced tea so fast that I will be removing it very soon.

I bought this on our beach trip and made a couple of gallons of iced tea. It was peachy and everyone loved it. This tea is no longer available here where I live, so I have to buy it out of town.

Now that we are home, the peach flavor is disappearing from the tea shortly after I make it. I will try using more leaf and not making two gallons at a time and see if that helps.

It is great peach flavor most of the time, so I don’t know what is going on with it. It isn’t just me, a guest said she didn’t taste the peach either. Oh well!

So strange that the flavor disappears after making it.

I am thinking perhaps it was a little underleafed and possibly the flavoring may have more or less evaporated or dissipated? I just had some more and it just tastes like plain iced tea. Smells very peachy in the tin and the single gallon batches I made were good. The two gallon batch is the one that isn’t flavorful.

I had similar trouble with decaf black tea with peach flavour. It just disappeared. Maybe it is trouble of the aroma?

Martin, I think that could be a lot of the problem. So much of our taste depends on aroma, and I think the aroma just up and left!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
