“Longevity Tea”—Our best-selling tea has the sweet lushness of a fancy peach with spicy ginger. Voted “Outstanding Beverage” by the National Association of the Specialty Food Trade.
The Republic of Tea is a progressive and socially conscious business recognized for being the leading purveyor of more than 200 premium teas and herbs, ready-to-drink iced teas and more. Founded in 1992, The Republic of Tea sparked a tea revolution in America with the purpose of enriching people’s lives through the experience of premium teas and a Sip by Sip Rather Than Gulp by Gulp lifestyle.
This tea was the first one I ever had at Mishka’s when I first moved away to UCD from home.
The other anna and I used to go and share a pot from time to time, and while they had so many teas to choose from I always fancied my special ginger peach. Still the best, even if I have to smuggle it back in my luggage to get my fix. But this is a lovely lovely tea.
…and if you are in the neighboorhood, have a pot of it at Mishka’s for me ;)
This is an “old reliable” for me. The peachiness is a nice touch, softening the black tea. I agree with other reviews that I wish it brewed a bit stronger in its bag form – I often double up – and that the ginger could be a bit more pronounced – but that’s nitpicking what I enjoy on many occasions overall.
I have received a tea bag of this as thank you for forwarding some postcards to Russia. It has got very nice outer wrapping. Weird is that I haven’t found any box on their website showing tea bags… and probably my first round tea bag with outer wrapping. Which is… about 2-3 times bigger than bag itself.
As I have smelled it when dry, I have noticed fiery ginger with fruit loops aroma of peach. It was nice aroma and I have hoped for a nice tea.
It was good one, however… ginger has disappeared. There is nothing from it. Base was very basic, somehow tannic. Peach was genuine though and quite on the sweet side of spectrum.
Plus points: nice outer wrapper, nice peach flavour
Minus points: boring base tea, no ginger, using of round tea bag in such big wrapper.
Since their teabags are round, they use the same round tins for loose leaf and bags. The bags aren’t usually individually wrapped.
It seems it is from some sampler, as those are individually wrapped. I would consider getting it for the wrappers only though, flavour was sadly very mediocre and there aren’t much interesting ones.
Got two sachets of this in RoT’s 12 Days of Sipping advent calendar thing. Drank one plain and one with oat creamer and stevia. Both were good, but the sweet ‘n’ creamy one was better. It’s all peach, no real ginger to speak of. Were I willing to take the time and less lazy than I am, adding freshly grated ginger to the steep and straining it out before drinking would’ve really improved the boldness of this blend.
Flavors: Peach
I’ve been so busy I haven’t posted in ages (missed ya’ll!), but I just got a whole bunch of tea in and now I need to keep track. Normally I wouldn’t order Republic of Tea (they’re pricey for what you’re actually getting) but I need teabags for work, and I remembered liking this flavor a lot in college. Wow, my taste buds have changed since then! Stash’s Peach is better than this and way cheaper.
This tea is able to curve some of the sharp ginger taste with the addition of a peach undertone. However the ginger still remains the center tasting point of this tea. I personally only make this tea hot as the cold temperature tends to make it a little more bitter.
Since it was a bit of a fruity tea I steeped it for 4 minutes to make sure the full flavor profile had a chance to steep before tasting it.
Flavors: Ginger, Peach
If I could take some of the beautiful scent in the canister and put it towards bolstering the taste of this tea, I would. It’s a lovely blend of peach, ceylon, and ginger but RoT teas do steep on the weak side so that means double the tea bags.
Flavors: Ginger, Peach, Sweet
