(Formerly Peachy White)
White Peach tea combines this Southern gem of a fruit with delicate, naturally sweet white tea from the Fujian province in China. Flowery peach-nectar aroma, juicy and very ripe flavor, slightly dry finish (just like peach fuzz!). Enjoy White Peach hot or iced and don’t blame us if you become hooked!
Ingredients: white tea, apricots, natural peach flavor & marigold flowers
Steeping Instructions: Steep at 180° for 3 minutes.
Adagio Teas has become one of the most popular destinations for tea online. Its products are available online at www.adagio.com and in many gourmet and health food stores.
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 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.
Many thanks to TastyBrew for the sample.
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.
Took a cup of this with me while I walked to my co-op interview this morning. I don’t know what it is about this tea. Its helped me get through so many high stress situations.
As for the interview, it went okay. They aren’t taking many people, so the odds aren’t in my favor, but one can always hope. XD
You know how some websites just suck you in? Like, you’ll sit down and think “I’ll just peruse for a few minutes and then get back to the adult things I need to do.” Soon before you know it, it’s almost 2am and you wonder what your adult life has become. Is this what my 20’s are supposed to look like?
Oh well, at least I have my tea to get me through! This evening my pot of tea was not a fandom blend! I realized I had been drinking a lot of those lately and decided to go with one that was not a blend. I made 16oz of this, and had most of that pot hot, and the last little cup was cold from sitting. It was pretty darn good cold so that’s how I had the re-steep pot. With sugar. What can I say? The husband and his sweet-tea tendencies have been influencing me a lot lately. I really enjoyed it this time around. I do have another unopened sample pouch to decide whether or not this will be a re-stock.
Ok, I figured out the trick with this one. You really need to overleaf it. You think you’re adding too much? You are totally not. Once I added 4 heaping teaspoons in my 16oz mug (seriously heaping, I likely used 5 tsp really), I now don’t need to add sweetener. I can really taste the peach, it isn’t bitter and I get a very smooth, almost thick, mouth-feel. Basically everything I love about whites. Now if only I could have a variable temperature kettle at work… cause then I’d actually sip this one down at a much faster rate.
Really? That surprises me because I’ve found all of their whites best @ 3min- especially their flavored ones.
Well, not every white tea is the same, and not everyone likes teas the same strength. Hence, this is wombatgirl’s tasting note about her experience with this tea.
Shanti, no need to get snappy. I was simply stating my surprise. I was not telling her how to drink or prepare her tea. I do realize every person is different, but some differences surprise me more than others.
Cofftea, I don’t know what your intentions are/were, but a lot of your comments come off as unnecessarily aggressive. Starting a comment off with “Really?” and then talking about how you would clearly do it differently and have a better outcome is seems dismissive in most situations. This honestly isn’t the worst example I’ve seen from you, and I apologize if my frustrations are being aired in response to the wrong example. But multiple others have called you out on it, so I don’t think I’m just making this up. And perhaps you don’t mean to sound condescending, but this is the internet, and you have to be aware the fact that without hearing your intonation, your comments can come off as as “catty” and underhanded rather than “suprised.” Sorry for being so snappy, but there’s nothing more I hate than people having their own experiences denied or dismissed.
