Our Peach Beer tea is very similar to our Peach HoppiTea. The base tea has been switched from a Nepalese tea to our Thurbo Darjeeling. This blend pairs our Thurbo Darjeeling tea with Cascade Hops and peaches. Cascade hops adds a touch of bitterness, somewhat like grapefruit, and is unmistakably hoppy. The peaches add a hint of sweetness that contrasts the bitterness well. The combination of these three ingredients creates a truly unique tea. We recommend allowing this tea to cool to a warm temperature for a more beer-like flavor. For a sweeter flavor, sugar may be added but will reduce the intensity of the hops.

I was never able to try Peach Hoppitea so I don’t have anything to compare this to. The first sip was unpleasantly bitter, a combination of the hops and Darjeeling base, I think. As I sipped though, the bitterness eased and I began to pick up the fruity flavour of the peaches on the end of each sip.
I’m not sure I really care for this tea, the bitterness is a bit too much to be truely enjoyable. I’ll give it a try with some honey next time to see if that improves matters
I was really happy Stacy introduced this flavor after the Peach Hoppitea ran out – I’m not a beer drinker, but I found the sample that came with one of my long-ago Butiki orders to be really interesting. I guess that sample had been sitting around for a while when I got around to trying it, because what I’m drinking now tastes WAY more heavy on the hops. It’s maybe a little intense for me, even after sweetening, but I’m still intrigued. I’m almost done with my cup now, and I still can’t quite put my finger on this tea – some sips seem mostly peachy and somewhat mild, and others pack a hoppy wallop, as though the two main flavors are competing for dominance. But that’s far from a complaint. I’d like to see what someone with more beer-tasting experience has to say about this one.
I’m not sure this will become one of my favorites, but it does leave me in awe of Stacy’s blending skills. She is a treasure, and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to taste so many of her creations.
