Really, really nice balance of the two flavors. Not too much of one or the other; perfect peach-i-cot.

The little brown rabbit next to the work picnic table kept eyeing me while I was sipping and smiling. I offered him some, but he wasn’t real interested.

My dearest Peach Apricot, I love you so! We’ve been friends for several years now, and I still do not get tired of our brief moments spent together!

She holds up well on her own and likens herself to a medium-bodied lady. Able to wear many a different teapot, she beckons to be appreciated in only the finest of cups. She welcomes cream and sugar, only asking that she not be over-steeped as she tends to get very bitter about that. ;) A very understanding lady, she’s fine with your visiting other “friends” knowing that soon you will want to catch up with her again over a tasty sandwich or two.

This tea is a good party trick. When I whip out my iced tea pitcher filled with this Peach Apricot iced tea, it draws stares. And then, after tasting, smiles. Real iced tea is so nice to serve at a summer party.

It steeps to a beautiful golden red color and it smells like a peach orchard. A few orange or lemon slices help fancy it up, but the flavor is all there already. It is not too strong on the apricot side of things, which is nice. Because who wants to drink apricot iced tea?

As a warm tea the aromas outweigh the flavoring, until you add sugar or honey.

Had some of this at lunch today. Peach Apricot keeps the flavors simple, and it’s an easy one to enjoy.

I plan on making some of this iced later. :)

Still loving this. I am a fan of peach & apricot, and this just fills my kitchen with a lovely scent when I brew it.

It can turn bitter quickly, so giving it a bit less than 3 mins works well. I didn’t make a tasting note for this before, but I’ve also enjoyed it iced. (Hot brew then chilled in another container with lots of ice)
