Peach Oolong

I’ve actually made this tea a few times already but I’m pretty disappointed/meh about this one. At least it was free with my order. Haha

Not enough peachy-ness and the oolong was surprisingly bland. It never rounds out into a deep richness like the dry smell suggests. Instead it leaves you waiting for a sweet richness that doesn’t come around, it just fades into flat blandness with a very slight hint of peach.

Last words: Don’t be fooled be the amazing peachy and chocolaty scent of the dry leaves. This tea really doesn’t have much else to offer.
(Maybe I’ll make them into scent-sachets for my clothing drawers.)

I love this tea – when prepared correctly it has a very well balanced, sweet peach flavour and a warm, comforting colour. It would be great iced, as well. I put a bit of sugar in it to bring out the peach flavours.

Steeped in ingenuiTEA, with more leaf than usual. Then added brown sugar and served iced. It’s okay, but has a rubbery (??) afterscent(?) I’m not too fond of. Nobody else seems to notice though. Left this out in the open— and not locked up in my special tea cabinet :P— for public consumption.

I’m still a teanoobie, but this has become one of my “go-to” teas. I don’t know what kind of drugs they lace this stuff with, but it literally makes me feel good every time I drink it. I love the peachy fragrance. I sweeten it with clover honey. Love it, love it, love it.

The leaves smelled great. After brewing, I like how the tea had a light flavor. I bet more leaves would have made a stronger tea, but this was just very good. I’m now interested in it as an iced tea. Don’t usually go for flavored teas, but willing to add this to a shopping list when I can stop buying every tea known to man.

Update this morning: Had a little bit leftover that I could ice. Quite tasty, though it needed to warm up just a tad to really experience the tea notes. Found that drinking it fast also exploded peach flavor. Really good.

I like it but I like the custom “Peachy” brew a lot better.

The smell out of the bag was wonderful. Peachy and delicious. Unfortunately my first cup was not. Following the brewing instructions on the bag of 212°F @ 3 min gave me a pot of tea that smelled like burnt coffee. Ugh!
The second time around with fresh leaves I used 180°F @ 3min and it was so much better. Added a little bit of sugar and it was delicious. Even when it had gotten cold, so when summer rolls around I’m definitely going to be making iced tea with this.
I still want to play around with the steeping times, but for this one, a lower water temp is for sure.

This tea is FANTASTIC. Very strong peach flavor even without any sugar added. Naturally sweet. I will definitely be buying more when my sample runs out.

This came out perfectly peachy. Like an actual peach, not like peach candy. It was very calm and refreshing. I used a good heap of sugar.

At $5 for 2oz, this is really cheap! But it is cheap for a reason — not that good for my taste. I tried to cold brew it, and it’s a winner! Makes very good iced tea.

This is an epic peachy tea! The oolong and peach are totally harmonious. The peach is not lost at all and was completely refreshing.

Really feeling neutral about this one… I really love Adagio’s White Peach tea, and this tea has that same added peach flavor, but it just doesn’t marry with the oolong as well as the white. There’s a woody flavor to the oolong that just doesn’t scream “add PEACH to me!” but it’s still a solid tea. Simply not my favorite marriage of flavors.

Loved it! Had it and then re-steeped!

Mmm, peachy. A hint of peach flavor along with a dash of honey complement the pleasant oolong nicely.

One of my favorite teas ever, almost out though.

The scent prior to steeping was pure peach. After steeping Peach and almost a hint of twig. The coloring is neat…a nice light brown. At first sip you get the peach taste but it’s not overpowering…towards the end you can get a bit of twig-taste, but just a hint. I would suggest this one to someone who is new to Oolong and enjoys the scent and undertone taste of peaches. A Delight!
