I’ve never super been into peaches or peach tea (my only other experience w/ anything
like it is Bigelow’s peach-flavored green tea, which I did not like), but this seemed interesting. Very nice creamy/vanilla base and just slightly sweet from the rock sugar. The peachiness was prominent more in aroma than flavor, which I liked/think is as advertised.

It was a gift from a friend that I forgot in my cupboard, so the tea bags were already past date (August 2020), but since I hadn’t opened the bag before, the aroma and flavor seemed preserved enough? I wonder if it would have been an entirely different cup if I’d managed to get to it before then.

I might have used too much water since I was using a large mug.

Flavors: Butter, Cream, Peach, Vanilla

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 2 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Generally Lupicia’s teas hold up fairly well in my experience, I have a tin of this that’s a couple of years past its “best by” date and it still tastes good. (This is what happens when you have too many teas…) XD

Bio

Korean-American freelance writer & illustrator/concept artist.

Not much experience, so my reviews are very much ‘ymmv’. Got into tea during a month-long trek through China, where I got to research some tea history and experience gongfu tea ceremony in Guangdong.

My friends think I get overboard and ‘fancy’ with teas, but my favorites tend to be stuff I grew up drinking like náaihchà, red teas (NOT rooibos)/whatever’s commonly served in yum cha and bori-cha- which I drink straight. I do use honey, lemon juice, milk/cream, or Demerara sugar in some other teas.

Got some ‘Congou’ tea from visiting colonial Williamsburg a few years back and have been fruitlessly trying to pin down what it actually is.

Likes: fruity (lychee, black currant, melon, apple), citrus, muscatel, creamy, nutty, cinnamon, chamomile, mint- don’t really mind high astringency for some reason?

Dislikes: Smoke/Tobacco, licorice, pepper, anything reminiscent of alcohol/overly malty. Most herbal & Yerba Mate.
