Ginger Peach Green

Used 2 bags tea to 12 oz water. Steeped 4 minutes @185. The liqour is a murky cloudy amber green liquid. The ginger is sharp and strong from start to finish. The peach is a light aftertaste, the green a strong base to the mix. But WOW is that ginger sharp on the tongue, catches the back of the throat and tickles it. I can’t say I’ll ever crave this tea, but I’ll probably finish the box. Maybe blend it with some more green tea to mellow it out.

I’m kinda impressed with this little tea bag. Found a box hanging out in the teacher’s lounge and jumped on it since I love teas with ginger and peach. Has a nice ginger flavor that isn’t too strong and the peach comes out more in the aroma than the taste but it is there. Can taste the green tea/matcha and it isn’t bitter but instead compliments the ginger. I quite like this and am already planning on adopting the box should no one else claim it.

Compared to my usual teas with ginger (Republic of Tea Ginger Peach Black and Teavana Ginger Peach Apricot), this one packs some real ginger burn, rather than the milder ginger taste I usually associate with ginger peach teas.

It was good, but I think my usual brew time of 5 minutes was a bit stiff for this tea -the ginger overshadowed the peach. Some honey helped the peach out, but I think I’ll shoot for 3 or 4 minutes next time.

This is a tea of two halves. Brewed for 1min 30 sec, it’s a cuppa fiery, gingery warmth that would be perfect when you’ve just come in from the cold, with a light peach midway through the sip – no matcha at all. Brewed for 4mins, it’s a smoother, ginger-tinged green with definite, woody/sharp undertones of matcha, but the peach is AWOL.

Too bad you don’t really get all the elements together (ginger/peach/green/matcha) as this was what convinced me to pick this tea up, but this is a good late-night sipper for me, especially as we move more into summer.

And now, a short break from my Upton Tea Sample (Extremely Slow) Taste’A’Thon for something a little lighter.

Hmm, I’m getting the peach. And the green. But not so much the ginger. Which is weird, since you’d think the ginger would be the strongest. Perhaps they overcompensated? Or perhaps I should have let it steep longer – I’ve been trying out an iPhone tea timer app name of Camellia, and it said 2 minutes for green, so two minutes is what I went with.

A nice morning pick me up to an otherwise bleh day of classes. Didn’t need caffeine, just comfort. I do love ginger.

This tea is tangy and maintains the grassy, vegetal personality of the green leaves beneath the ginger bite. I add Splenda as a sweetener, and it eases the blending.

This is a startling and bracing tea! And it’s perfect as a BookTasting tea companion to the classic dystopian novel (translated from Russian) by Yevgeny Zamyatin, “We”. Please find my complete BookTasting review on my website.

Well, having just left a scathing review about Art of Tea’s Purple Oolong (which I do indeed feel badly about, and can ANYONE tell me how to use the rating scale. You see time come up on the steeping time scale, but no numbers come up when I rate the tea and I always come up with some very bizarre number!) I tossed the latter and made a pot of this Ginger Peach Green Tea from Stash. Ah, now that’s better. Not my favorite to be sure but a gentle, soothing tea. I’m with others here when they write — and this is a mystery to me — that when you sniff the leaves in the bag you really smell a lovely peach, and I smell it when I am sniffing the brewed tea in the cup, but it just tastes like a ginger tea to me. Now, I happen to really like ginger and ginger teas so I don’t mind but I love peach teas and that’s why I bought this because I love both of the flavors and thought they would be wonderful together but I don’t taste a pinch of peach. It is a nice tea however, though I don’t think I’d buy it again. There are other really nice peach greens and oolongs out there…

I totally agree with the below comments. Waay to much ginger and not enough peach. The bottom of the cup literally was a scorcher…. although it did warm me up…

If you like heavy ginger teas, this is for you

One of my favourite flavoured teas. I love ginger, and there’s definitely a good bit of it in here. It doesn’t bite as much as it burns on a low level, if that makes sense. I also taste more peach than many people have noted, but it’s definitely dependent on steeping time – I’ll need to pay more attention the next few times I have this. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of fruity teas, so a touch of peach is all I need. Very interesting, versatile tea. I’ll drink it often.

Ginger ginger ginger. It was way too much and nearly overpowered everything else. To top that off, what little peach flavor I could taste turned out to be totally disgusting combined with the ginger. I could barely taste any of the tea itself underneath at all. I was given this box for free by someone trying to get rid of it, and I see why — I’d drink just about anything rather than have a cup of this forced on me.

I don’t steep this tea very long. About 2 minutes but I like the mild flavor. I agree that the ginger overpowers the peach but at least it doesn’t taste artificial to me. It is a mellow green, not bitter to me, and I like that in this tea. I’ll keep it in my pantry.

I got two steeps out of this tea, the first at 3.5 minutes and the second at 4.5 min. The second one was turned into a very refreshing iced tea, although I like it both hot and cold.

The ginger flavour is the dominent taste although it isn’t overwhelming and it has a nice undertone of juicy peach that takes the edge off of it. The flavour of the green tea itself is largely masked although it lends a sort of freshness to the tea.

180F water, 3 min. Very pale green liquor. All I can taste is moderate ginger. The slight astringency tells me that tea is there, but I don’t know how matcha tastes or what variety of green was used. I don’t yet know what to make of this tea.

Nice scent. Light yellow/green in color. More Ginger than Peach when it comes to taste but neither are overpowering. Some Ginger teas scare me…but this one is…pleasant.

Really nice; the ginger does overpower the peach flavour a little, but it is still very good.
