Midsummer's Peach (Decaf)

My sweet friend’s picked this one up for me on their way home from celebrating their first anniversary. I like it, light and crisp for a black tea. The decaf is nice after a long stressful day or in this case to ease into a nice day off from work. The peach flavor is really yummy and I’m not usually a peach fan. But it’s very fruity and juicy in a way almost like the black tea isn’t there at all. Def. a keeper!

Thank you SimplyJenW for letting me try this tea and a few other teas in a swap. I am extremely thankful for her sending me this tea one I wanted to try for quite awhile. Backlogging. I love peaches and black tea. Dry in the teabag I smelled mostly a strong natural peach and when I steeped it up I could smell the black tea more. Taste was a really good strong and natural peach taste with a good tasting medium strength black tea. I thought this tea was really great and the peach was strong and wonderful.

Ok, it is not quite midsummer, and I usually avoid anything decaf, but the peach in this one is very good, the black tea flavor is there as well and overall I like it.

Thanks be to QuiltGuppy.

Nice tasty peachy tea for a bag. Had it hot at work, unfortunately with microwaved water (one can only ask Timmies for hot water so many times in a single day). Nothing shouted out to me, AMAZING, but it was pleasant enough. Thanks to Jenn for letting me try this. I have one more bag to try, so maybe I’ll get that hot water from Tim’s or round up the kettle and find a working outlet in the stockroom (the one we previously used has blown out).

Felt like something fruity.

Anyways, this is a pretty nice flavored tea. The peach isn’t overwhelming, but smooth, aromatic. The tea isn’t astringent, which is what I’ve come to expect of blacks, so a great plus and surprise here.
It’s like drinking peach juice (is there even such a thing?), but without all the sugar.

I think I’ve only got about a cup’s amount left, so the dregs are going into to a jar so I can try this one cold brewed. Should be good.

Impressed.

This tea is extraordinarily peachy! Makes a delicious iced tea, and steeps quickly and darkly. You can use a teabag three times, or ice one cup without watering it down. Add a dash to a cup of black tea for a great flavored black. Very sweet and fruity- overwhelmingly peachy, so use with caution!

It’s tolerable. You can definitely taste the peach, but not much else. There’s no source information about the tea, suggesting it’s probably low quality. And if they’re going to douse it in artifical peach flavor, I suppose it should be. It’s hard to drink a whole cup of this, but it’s ok in small amounts.

I mostly make decaf teas in the afternoon or evening, since too much caffeine will have the usual unpleasant fidgety results at night. I also love fruit/tea blends in the summer. So I was very happy to find Harney & Sons blends this marvelous Midsummer’s Peach, which features decaffeinated black tea.
Since this is a decaf tea, it’s definitely milder. For more flavor, I simply steep it longer. I love peach teas, especially in the warmer months, so by definition, this smells and tastes like summer to me. There’s a little creaminess to the flavor, as well as a note of nectarine peel. It’s not as strong as 52Teas “Mom’s Spiced Peach Preserves” tea, which I rated a few months back. But this one’s a decaf, nor does it have any spices added to it—so it’s a different kettle of tea!
This is a very easy tea to like, whether hot or chilled/iced. It’s perfect for summer, and I highly recommend it, especially if, like me, you’re sensitive to too much caffeine.

I absolutely love this tea! I threw this in as a last second sample because I really enjoy some peach flavor here and there not expecting to enjoy it nearly as much as I do. I find myself going to my tea chest looking for this more often than not and at the same time trying to ration it until I can order more. Very mellow, no bitterness and a nice sweet fruitiness to it! Lovely! Can’t wait until I have a tin of this at my disposal!

This guy is a bit drying and tannic but it could just be because my experience with peach teas is limited to mostly tisanes. The peach flavor is kind of muted under the black tea.
