Country Peach Passion

I raided a friend’s tea cupboard and found this one. The peach shines with a few sour notes from the hibiscus. Would buy for myself.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this one yet. My family is obsessed with this tea iced. The peach and chamomile taste so nice together. We use four bags and a few spoonfuls of sugar for a large pitcher, and the flavor is light and nice. If you put too much water in, chamomile is the main thing you taste, but if you get the right proportions, it’s so peachy and nice. I love this tea even more than most loose leaf peach teas I’ve tried. We go through boxes of it so quickly, but at Walmart it’s about $2.20 per box, so it’s a pretty great deal.

I know a review won’t matter with 101 of them already and this one will get buried under the people that have multiple entries for this tisane, but I leave a note for everything so here we go.

I forgot how much I enjoy one of the old Celestial Seasonings stand-bys, stands-by, stand-bies. Immortal blends? Whatever you want to call it. Bright peachy sweet-tart, faintly herbal, little syrupy-thick, great hot or iced. The cream is present in the heavenly smell of the dry leaf as kind of a vanilla pudding note but I don’t think I get it in taste. I never not have a feeling of well being while sipping on this. Might take honey well if you like to sweeten your drinks. And you can leave the bag in a mug while you sip without developing any off flavors.

May Flowers! Since I started this trip down memory lane by finishing off my expired since [date redacted to protect my shame] Black Cherry Berry, I may as well go ahead and do the rest of the Celestial Seasonings fruit sampler.

I always remember Country Peach Passion being one of my favorites, if I am recalling correctly (at least, I have vague memories of getting an additional box of this one separately from the fruit sampler at one point in time, way back in the day). That may also be why I had a few more teabags of this one left than the others, so I decided to make a quart of iced tea to sipdown this one.

The tea had a strong peach aroma, but the flavor just… doesn’t hold up for me anymore. It may just be the more chamomile-heavy base of the blend (I’m not much of a fan of chamomile), but honestly I think it’s because I have started drinking too many loose leaf peach-flavored teas, which have such a natural flavor, that feels really refreshing and isn’t so overwhelming, and the flavor here just tastes… like fake-peach, like the kind of peach used in candies. It’s really sweet and really strong. It’s passable, but… meh. Honestly, it just feels like a bit much for me to drink this plain. I could imagine it possibly making a decent mixer with a rather plain bagged black tea to make a decent sweet peach-flavored iced black tea, though.

I have to say I’m probably a bit biased here seeing as I’m a Georgia boy born and bred but I absolutely adored this tea, I actually reused the same teabag two days in a row to make sure I’d gotten everything I could out of it!

This tea definitely smelled very peachy, I just wish it was a little stronger in my brew, maybe a tad more tart. I am definitely getting that peaches & cream oatmeal flavour that people are talking about. Worth a try, but don’t go out of your way or price range for this. Though it’s a nice change up, i probably won’t buy this blend in the future.

Finally getting around to trying this Country Peach Passion that I got in the herbal set that I bought. The verdict is that I really like this tea, I enjoyed the mix between the peach and the orangey flavour what a great combo taste. Definitely reminds me of the Quaker instant Oatmeal flavour Peaches and Cream for sure. That being said its also very refreshing to drink and not heavy just a nice clean and calming peach tea.

It has a very nice, very strong peach aroma. The first time I tried it the taste was weak, but on a second try, I found I quite liked this tea. Brewing a second cup is decent but certainly not as good. Will probably buy this again once I finish this box.

The Thanksgiving tea marathon continues. The next find in mom’s cabinet. I would normally never buy fruit tea blend, but it’s a holiday, so I might as well try something new.

Smells good. I do like fruit, and juice, and peach. So I should like this, yeah?

Of course it’s good. The peach flavor is nice and crisp and clean. And if that’s what you’re looking for, this is great. We can argue all day whether this is “tea” or not, but in the end, it’s just a good sipping peach flavored tea blend.

I would like the tea base to shine through a little more. But that’s me. I’m a stubborn tea snob. ;)

Forget about whether it smells like peach for a sec. Because regardless of what the name is, this smells good! In fact, I recommend holding this cup next to your coworkers just to get them to say: “Hey, that smells yummy”.

Warm, it reminds me of warm peaches.
Cold, it’s good too.

You might want to be careful with the sweetner though. Maybe add a bit of water, if you put in too much. I was getting a really sweet vanilla on the tongue.

So far I’m.really impressed with their tea. I would make iced tea from this!
