Peach with Ginger Black Tea

Black Fruit Herbal Blend by Zen Tara Tea

One of our most popular organic black tea blends is this wonderful pairing of a delicate organic peach flavor with organic ginger pieces. Fruit infused teas need to be blended just right. The sweetness of the fruit is tasted on the forward area of the tongue while the body of the black tea is slightly bitter and is tasted towards the back of the tongue. If the fruit flavoring is too strong there is a sweetness at the beginning of the sip, then a disappointing flat taste and an ending bitter note.

This tea is pretty solid, but I’m not sure it can replace my morning staple: Zen Tara Tea’s Black Currant. I’m getting a lot more ginger than peach, but I may have oversteeped it a bit. Will try steeping for 3 minutes next time.

Liking this tea a little more today – didn’t steep it quite as long. The peach is coming out more, especially on the nose.

This tea was EXACTLY what I was in the mood for. Something with a strong fruit overtone, but with the warmth and gentle spice of a ginger infusion. Unlike some other herbal blends I’ve sampled, even steeped for the full 5 minutes the ginger didn’t become overpowering. A perfect cup for those blustery fall and winter mornings, would be EXCELLENT with toast and jam :)
