45 Tasting Notes
(58 = drinkable but probably wouldn’t buy again; doesn’t taste like the title.)
Bought this tea about 2 years ago. Very mild slightly “herby” flavor. (Presumably the tulsi? It reminds me a bit of verbena.) Apple/pear taste is not really noticeable even after leaving the bag in for a long time.
Travel Notes: Tea bags in sealed foil packets. Because it’s so mild it would probably be fine with long brewing (e.g. in a travel thermos).
Recommended for: Those who like mild non-bitter herb tea, not recommended if you’re looking for something fruity.
Flavors: Herbs
Preparation
A strong tart-peach scent/flavor – only recommended if you REALLY like peach (which I do!).
Oddly enough it’s much less tart when cold.
Thankfully this one doesn’t have the hibiscus aftertaste that makes me avoid most fruit teas, so it’s probably going to be a staple in my cupboard. (There is hibiscus in the ingredients but further down the list than usual — also maybe the tartness from the peach and orange peel cover up the taste?)
Recommended for: Those who like strong fruity flavors/scents, those who are looking for a fruit tea without hibiscus (seriously, what’s with people putting that stuff in every darn thing?)
Commuter Notes: Teabags but no wrappers, overbrewing might lead to overly tart tea.
Flavors: Peach, Tart
Bought a large variety of teas when I was in New Mexico, but this one was the first tea to run out. Very citrusy and a good wake-up tea for weekends (or keeping you going throughout the day after you’ve maxed out your caffeine).
From what I recall it also survived long steeps and resteeps in the tea thermos, so it’s a good commuter option.
Flavors: Citrus
