1473 Tasting Notes
The in-laws strike again! And a significant number of my drinks yesterday were decidedly Not Tea (St. Paddy’s)….the wife and I are going on a bit of a Detox binge. This has become my go-to tea, it’s so delicious, I’m happy to sit here and sip it all day.
This tea is delicious! I could happily wake each morning to a cup of this. It’s coffee without being overwhelmingly so. I don’t really have a flavor in mind to compare it to, I just know I’m really enjoying it and if definitely worth trying if you’re an excoffee drinker OR if you just plain enjoy different teas.
Preparation
I think I’ve just been overwhelmed by choice lately, and tea just…I don’t know, I haven’t been craving it like I usually do, and nothing I made tasted quite right or hit the spot.
Until this tea. I love peaches. I can’t say it enough, I love, love, love peaches. As a girl raised in Tennessee, which is darn close to Georgia, I could never get enough of peaches. Drinking this has me ready for summer and sun tea and the sweet tea I keep in the fridge that my wife won’t touch. Reminds me of home and hot Southern summers. Makes me long for a big plate of barbeque…I love this tea.
Used a super yummy cup of this in my Scott Pilgrim Shepard’s Pie today and it turned out delicious! I love using this tea for gravies, it just makes it all the better.

The beau and I enjoyed green beer last night, and detox this morning as well : )
ps – I intend to re-steep the “leaves” when I get home to see if it really does re-steep well! (in my opinion, that is :D)
Ha! We went by DT while I was still mostly tipsy and got a tin of detox with the pretty green label. I love resteeping the heck out of it, but I also resteep black teas, which is apparently a huge no-no so shrug I am not to be trusted ;)
I also re-steep black teas…I like the way you think! However, I do use way less tea to liquid than directions suggest, and go for a longer steeping, most of the time. I’d rather get more delicious cups than fewer quick cups.
I’m getting a little excited now about this re-steep when I get home, hopefully my leaves weren’t thrown out by the beau as they sometimes are. Although it would only be an excuse to brew another pot of it…
I could drink Detox for days and not tire of it! And I’m with you on the less leaves/longer steep thing. Makes the tea last longer too! I’m in no rush.
