Zhi House Blend Ginger Peach Oolong is as exotic and luxurious as it sounds.
One of our favorite blends, Ginger Peach Oolong is designed to appeal to all your senses. Our top quality Shui Xian Oolong, natural ginger root, and natural juicy peach pieces combine to create a superbly refreshing, aromatic, and robust flavor experience.
The ginger gives a hint of bright spiciness while the peach adds a touch of sweetness and softness. Ginger Peach Oolong is an outstanding drink, if we may say so ourselves, that also produces a jaw-dropping iced tea. Invite your friends, they’ll love you for it.
This tea holds up fantastically to multiple steepings!
A little more about our blending base for Ginger Peach Oolong. We love the full flavor of the Shui Xian (water sprite), a 70% oxidized oolong leaf. This Ginger Peach has the pronounced robustness of our Wu Yi rock tea which provides a solid base for the ginger and peach to shine.
A great Shui Xian should support multiple steepings and have a nice, round body with a long smooth finish. You’ll note that Ginger Peach Oolong has all these qualities with a distinct floral character that comes through as well. Ginger Peach is like a fine wine, the flavors are robust yet refreshingly fruity at the same time. Ginger Peach is the best thing for ginger lovers and the peach is something to remind you of long hot summer days.

Sipdown! (30 | 482)
This one is just bland.
The base is a very generic woody, leafy oxidized oolong with no real personality. As far as the peach, it’s very subtle and actually reminds me of cucumber, the same as in their Fredericksburg Peach black tea. Ginger is very mild too.
So overall, just bland and boring. Meh!
Flavors: Cucumber, Earth, Ginger, Wood
I’ve always adored peach teas, if they are actually made with real peach, that is. I don’t drink them often now, because I’m rarely happy with them, but when you find a good one, it’s great hot or iced. In my opinion, the best peach teas require the following:
First, REAL peach. Granted, I understand that dried fruits don’t always add a lot of flavor, so you’re never going to get a super peachy tasting tea. I can complain, or I can practice acceptance. Please don’t add a bunch of phony flavoring to my peach tea. That sucks.
Second, the bass should be a Wuyi Oolong. Their roasty & natural stone fruit qualities enhance the peachiness. That’s that. (although secretly lately I’ve wondered if some of the Taiwanese tres 18 sun moon lake Black teas might be good with peach, due to their fruity qualities).
Third, include ginger, because ginger & peach is awesome.
Fourth, if you really want to bring the peachiness out, add a pinch of sweetness to your cup. You’ll be glad you did.
So this one, which is a sample sent to me from Lee, is nice! Real peach chunks, Shui Xian oolong, ginger! I drank the first cup straight, & it was tasty. I drank the resteep with a pinch of sweet, & it’s dessert. Thanks Lee!
Sipdown!
The dry tea leaves have a creamy ginger snap scent. Pretty & long tea leaves.
Brewed, the tea is a perfect ginger color. The scent is a toasted oolong so I was excited to take a sip. The flavor is subtle toasted malt with a ginger accent.
I have not smelled or tasted any peach notes but as I look at the rest of my dry tea leaves, I am seeing little bits that must be peach fruit bits so maybe I didn’t get any fruit bits in this serving. I will have to try this one again and make sure to get fruit bits in the steeping.
Sounds like a good flavor combo with the oolong. What would have made this tea more enjoyable for you??
i am not a fan of flavor, but i think either a stronger peach or stronger ginger, i am from the if you are favoring flavor it a lot camp
