Peach Ginger

Some peach ginger teas can be harsh! This one isn’t as mellow as some of my other favorites. This one is sort of the middle of the road. I would drink again, not sure if I would repurchase again, seeing how I already have a ton of tea !!!

Unfortunately, I burnt the roof of my mouth earlier today, so the first thing I get when I taste this is pain. :(
Ignoring that and sipping onward, it’s another understated fruit tea, actually reminding me a lot of the Exotic Fruits tea I reviewed recently. The peach lends a softness, though it doesn’t scream peach. I think it would pair very well with something sweet — this seems like a tea that would be even better with a pastry than on its own, though unfortunately I’m not hungry enough to test that hypothesis right now.

Not as good as my favorite apricot tea, but this is a nicely sweet tea with just a teeny little bite from the ginger. I only had a sample tin of this, so I’d like to get some more. Its a nice tea to drink if you have a stomach ache, but don’t like an overwhelming taste of ginger.

Opening this tea tin, I got a strong scent of ginger and just a whiff of peach. The tea comes in circular bags, and I used one for just over a cup of water. While it was steeping, the ginger scent was almost scary strong. But once it cooled to temperature, it was still gingery but very drinkable. I’m not getting a lot of peach flavor at all, but that isn’t bad once you get accustomed to the fact that this isn’t a peachy tea. I don’t love this, but I do think this would be a great tea for when you are feeling under the weather.

I am curious to see if the peach is a more prominent flavor once the tea is iced. I’ll be sure to update once I find out.

I personally felt that the ginger taste was rather strong, I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would initially.

I got this as part of a little 4-tin set, each with 4 tea bags – when I took the plastic wrapping off the stack of tins, I was a little alarmed that it ALL smelled like peach. I thought it would be totally overpowering and too synthetically sweet and fruity, but thankfully it’s proving me wrong – it’s nicely peachy without being over the top, and the ginger lends a nice little bite to it.

Been drinking this as my work tea, and I am polishing off the jar today. The tea is good, I find it’s a nice office tea. The packaging it came in however is really annoying. It seems cute at first glance, kind of an apothecary jar vibe to it, but it comes with a tiny wooden scoop that they want you to spoon out 5 spoonfuls with for a cup of tea. I soon switched to a little plastic tea scoop I got in a Denver tea shop which I keep at work. Then it was a pain in the butt to get down to the last scoops in the jar unless you have a long handled scoop or teensy child-sized hands, which I do, but it was still a pain!

The tea itself is pretty mild, not a lot of bite from the ginger, just enough to flavor it a bit. The peach is the top flavor after the tea, which hasn’t been bitter in any of the cups I’ve tried. Nothing spectacular, but nice.

Bottom line:
Tea: Yes, if it’s on a good sale and you don’t really order teas online
Packaging: Kill it with fire

I’m not the biggest fan of fruity teas but I love this one. Add a bit of soymilk and a drop of agave and you got yourself a rich little treat. My only complaint is that it could be more gingery.

Good tea, but just a little too heavy on the ginger side for me.
