White Peach

I think this is one of the few samples I bought from Adagio that I purchased on my last order, haha. So I made a pot of it because I was looking at peaches today but our season here is over so meh, tea it is.

This is a lot better than Adagio’s flavored blacks. I steeped it for maybe 90 seconds hoping to avoid any super strong flavoring (second usual problem). It’s still pretty strongly peach though.

I wish it was a bit more natural tasting. If I drink it right after I pour some form the pot, it’s very artificially peach.

It’s not terrible, but it could be better. I can kind of taste the white tea through the flavoring. But the flavoring, it’s just not that good! I probably don’t want it to be that good because the white tea itself doesn’t seem too good anyway. At least to me, it could be better.

Thank you to Azzrian for this surprise sample.

I’m a little sad. Because of the bad weather here in Florida, I’m stuck at my boyfriend’s house for a few more days, and I’m far away from my house – where the majority of my tea samples are. Luckily, I had the forethought to bring this up with me.

I cold-brewed this, and it’s not too bad. The peach flavor is there, but not too prominent. Peach is a hit or miss flavor for me. It’s not overwhelming. I think sweetener would help bring out the peach flavor for this tea.

The second steeping, I thought, was maybe even better than the first. I wonder how the other flavored White Adagios compare.

My other white ginger tea option- again, thanks to Ricky. Kinda winging it. I only have 2.16g, but I still made a 6oz cup. Added 1.12g of ginger root. I don’t have the original tin as a reference, but I’ve been warned about outrageous steeping time suggestions w/ Adagio whites so I went w/ 3min. And I’m glad I did. Whoa! Holy liquor! So much darker than I expected. So is the aroma. It smells distinctly of true tea w/ a hint of peach, but it bites my nose as well which assures me that inspite of the strong tea, the ginger won’t be drowned out. As expected, it’s a very strong white tea. A bit of peach (wish there was more), and a bite of ginger. This is definitely not a “wine cooler tea”. (Some guys give wine coolers a bad rap for being fruity and sissy). Strong, yet sweet. Think Southern Comfort. I’ll probably buy a sample tin of this.

Well, that’s odd. I tried the Gemini blend (White Monkey, White Peony, and White Peach) which smelled strongly like sweet peach, and then opened my tin of regular White Peach today, and the peach smell is totally different from the peach smell of Gemini. This smells like delicious, fresh peaches, whereas the Gemini blend smells exactly like those peachy-o’s peach ring gummies. Two very different but definitely peachy flavors.

The taste? Well, it’s light and peachy, and completely different from the Gemini. Instead of an almost-overbearing sweet cloud, the peach in this tea is light, fresh, and better “blended”. By blended, I mean that the peach doesn’t just come in at the tail of the sip, like in Gemini—it’s there throughout the sip. There’s this weird sense of foreboding I get when I drink the Gemini, because I’m end up thinking too much and always notice when that peach cloud sneaks in. With the White Peach, it’s always there. It also has this interesting, “juicy”, refreshing, thirst-quenching quality that is really appealing. Because they’re so different, I can’t say I prefer one over the other. I think if I’m in the mood for refreshment, I’d reach for this one, and if I’m in the mood for sugar, I’d go for the other.

I’m not a huge fan. I’ve been enjoying white teas a little more lately, so I went looking for my Adagio white sampler today, and.. well, maybe I didn’t make this the way it should be. I’ll try steeping it longer next time.

I can taste the peach just fine, though it’s not overpowering, but I almost wish it were because I’m not impressed with the white tea base. I used 2 grams of tea for a 4oz pot, but it just doesn’t have the rich mouthfeel I’ve been getting from (say) LeafSpa’s Silver Needle or Rishi’s Snowbud. It has lasted for two steeps so far.

Definitely need to steep this for the full time, or it’s not as good. The peach is a a little lighter than I was hoping, but overall not a bad tea. I also like the smell of the leaves.. mmm.. peachy!

Unfortunately I haven’t found a peach flavored tea that would not taste/smell artificial yet… maybe such thing doesn’t exist at all because a peach flavor is impossible to replicate… who knows.

The best thing about this tea is that while it still tastes and smells artificially like others I tried before it, it isn’t overwhelmingly artificial. It has sort of light peachy flavoring that doesn’t attack your nostrils or taste buds. It feels juicy when it’s hot. After it cools down more woody taste comes through taking the edge of the fruitiness somewhat.

It’s perfectly drinkable but not something I would keep on hand all the time.

Well hello White Peach! We are gonna be friends.

Refreshing is the key word. Light, clean and naturally peachy. The flavor is delicate and the peach taste is not artificial tasting at all. Maybe it’s just me, but I love flavored white teas iced more than hot. I’m positive that this white peach will be the bee’s knees when iced. Mmmm…can’t wait.

I put my sample straight on ice.
Not very strong. Just mild and nice.

(With apologies to Ogden Nash and wombatgirl…I just didn’t have a whole limerick in me.)

Thanks TastyBrew! This is a backlog. I enjoyed this with lunch. It has a nice soft peachy flavor to it. I enjoyed this. Thanks!

I had such very high hopes. I wanted something sweet and light for a bedtime tea and this seemed like a good candidate. The dry leaves are very pretty and smell like actual peaches. Quite misleading, since the actual taste of the tea is very artificial. Maybe I overbrewed, because I also found the fake peach flavor overwhelming. I can’t say much for the white tea base because I couldn’t really make it out. I tried diluting it with ice and even adding a splash of seltzer, but nothing could salvage this tea for me.

This might be improved with a shorter steep and a squeeze of lemon to add some natural sweetness while cutting the artificial taste.

This is another very mild white blend from Adagio. I’m not really impressed with the peach flavoring they’ve used, but it certainly isn’t the worst I’ve come across. This tea is naturally very sweet and while hot the peach flavor is pretty strong. As it cools it mellows out a bit and the peach isn’t as overwhelming. It’s still pretty artificial tasting, but not overwhelmingly so.

I did resteep this, I started out at 4 minutes for the initial steep and 5 minutes for the resteep. It managed to give me a pretty solid flavor the second time around, but it had noticibly less peach.

After exhausting the Mermaid tea, I needed something else to drink after lunch. Decided that something iced was in order, so I poked around in the drawer and pulled out this sample.

I’d swear I’d logged it before, but it didn’t even show as being in my cupboard. Snort

The leaves definitely smell peachy & sweet. Once brewed it’s mild. Doesn’t kick you in the face, or anything. It’s not something that I am really glad to drink with each sip, but it’s inoffensive for a day at the office.

This had a really nice aroma as soon as I opened the bag: strong peach fragrance with caramel and smoke – almost like some cobblers I’ve had. The liquor is a bright yellow. The flavor when hot is nice and smooth, the white tea is there, although the peach overpowers it a little. There’s also a brighter note of astringency that works well with the nasal peach finish. Very mellow and doesn’t need sweetener.

The peach flavor and smell are more like peach gummy candy than anything natural, but still nice. As the tea has grown cooler, the artificial peach flavor,as well as the sweetness, has gotten more pronounced.

Tea smells lovely out of the tin, nice and peachy.
I cold brewed this and added a tiny bit of simple syrup (which I do for pretty much all my iced teas). I may have left this alone a little two long because I’m getting a slight bitterness (can this happen with cold brewed tea?). The sugar helps bring out the peach a little more.

Will definitely try this hot brewed, and maybe iced again with a shorter time period.

I used to love a bagged white peach tea, so I got a sample of this in hopes it replacing it and tasting better. The smell reminds me a lot of Adagio’s Green Rooibos Bonita. That doesn’t surprise me because there’s peach flavor in there, too! I’m thinking I should have steeped it for five minutes instead of three because it’s pretty mild tasting (though I did want to see how it stood up to re-steeping). The peach flavor is more potent in smell than flavor (like most flavored teas), so I can actually taste a lot of the white tea, but that’s also a good thing. It’s a rather enjoyable light tea, good for the evening when I want something a little less caffeinated and subtle. Next time I’m trying a longer steeping time.

Really refreshing. It has a quality that I can only think to describe as “juicy”. There’s just the right amount of peach flavor so as not to overwhelm the tea. It works fabulously for re-steeps. I’m sad my sample is gone.

Very refreshing. A light tea with a nice peach flavor that’s almost sweet but not overpowering. Well balanced fruity and grassy flavors make it a wonderful white tea with a lovely peach aroma.

Funnily enough, when I went to the Adagio Tea store in IL among the teas I bought were this, white peony, and the Gemini blend. Gemini has both white peach, and white peony in it.. IDK I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.

I’ve definitely noticed that I’ve been making fruity teas less and gravitating heavily towards these light white, and green teas. They’re just so refreshing! I can’t help it.

I had bagged white peach from Trader Joe’s and find it quite pleasent so I was very excited to try out Adagio’s blend. Since they make a fresh cup for you in store to sample I knew exactly what I was buying, and I have to say I loved it so much I bought 4oz instead of just a 2 oz bag.

The leaves are very airy so you have to use 2tsp instead of 1tsp per cup (which I’m more used to seeing). The only thing stopping me from giving this tea a 100 is that I wish the peach was a little more prominent in the aftertaste.

You know, for a very very long time I thought I didn’t like tea. The only experience I’d ever had with it was at summer camp, where they gave us a very weak and sad tasting brew of iced Lipton. (Of course it doesn’t help that at the time my youngish brain assumed the dark liquid was coke, but I digress.) It wasn’t until years later when my dear friend sent me a gift card to Adagio that I would discover, I did in fact, actually like tea.

Now, this isn’t the only tea I’ve tried from Adagio, but it is by far my favorite. I drink about two cups of it every day. I really like that the tea is sweet enough that I don’t have to add anything to it. Extremely drinkable and delicious. Of course, the health benefits don’t hurt anything either.

And that’s just the tea by itself. This tea is also quite good blended with Teavanna’s Youthberry and Adagio’s Mango Green. I’m sure it would also be delicious mixed with other teas, but I’ve yet to try them.

Especially if your someone like me, who’s relatively new to the tea world, I cannot recommend this tea higher.
