I must admit that the tea’s taste versus the tea’s smell threw me off. I read about this tea online and had to go to Teavana to smell it—I am a HUGE fan of Jasmine teas. Their Jasmine Pearls and Peach Tranquility blend is amazing, so I thought the added berry in Peachberry would be just as sweet and floral. The dry leaves promised a sweet but delicate floral tea.
I brewed about 4 scoops in my Tea Forte Pugg teapot for about 1.5 minutes. The strength was perfect, but WOW it was TART! I was not expecting such a tart, Jasmine tea. I suspect the hibiscus has much to do with this! BUT I then added some rock sugar, and voila, the tea balanced out. It was no longer so tart—I could taste the notes of peach, jasmine, and strawberry. I then quickly finished the pot and brewed another! Delicious ! I think it will mix well with extra Peach Tranquility or Strawberry Lemonade. I cannot wait to try it iced!
I would recommend this, but it does need some sweetener to counteract the tart hibiscus!
Flavors: Floral, Jasmine, Peach, Strawberry
