This is my 50th review on Steepster!
It’s peach and ginger flavored, and all I can say is that my sister and mom enjoyed this tea. It smells good, sometimes I open the can and smell and huff the tea like a teenager from the 1970s getting high on glue in a paper bag.
Once the can is empty, planning to Decoupage it with used postage stamps.
I’ll rate this one high because I think it smells and tastes good.

I am finally trying this sample that my friend E. gave me to try. I thought this was an herbal tea, so I saved it for nighttime to be a tea that I could calm down with. Well, this isn’t an herbal, but it smells really relaxing. Nice and peachy, the smell reminds me of peach cobbler. Now, lets hope that the taste will be as good. This is a new brand to me, so I don’t know how it will be.

I’m not getting much in ginger or peach. It tastes really smooth and I’m not getting much astringency. If I make sure that the tea touches the tip of my tongue, I get a tiny bit of sweetness. I wish I could taste more of the flavors, but I think that this is a very smooth black tea.

I would drink this for aromatherapy alone. I’m not sure if I would get a whole box of it, but I wouldn’t mind having a little sampler tin to have around the house when I am feeling blue. A nice tea to have when you don’t want anything too complicated.

Backlogging from Vacation #3:

I like this tea for the aromatic property. It smells like fresh peaches. It just doesn’t taste like peaches. I’m going to cold brew a big pitcher of this and see if it tastes better as an iced tea. My family is aware that I am going to be experimenting and they said that worse come to worse, I’ll have to drink the entire thing by myself. We will see.

I had my brother put the last of my tea bags in the pitcher and to make some cold brewed tea this morning. Six hours later (and lightly sugared)it is nice and delicate and peachy. There is half a pitcher left. I don’t think it will last any more than one more day.

Finished up the last of the tea in the pitcher. The second day for this tea is definetley the best. The third day isn’t as flavorful. I’ll have to make some more of this for the weekend.

It is time for a cold brewing experiment! I threw three bags of this in a big pitcher this morning, filled it with water, and stuffed it in the fridge. It has been brewing for about five hours and I think it is strong enough now. I lightly sweetened it with about a half cup of sugar.

Wow, this is really good! Light and peachy with a hint of zing to it. That must be the ginger I’m tasting. I didn’t over-sweeten it, but it is sweetened enough to make it appealing to my family. I have about three to four bags of this left and I think it will be going in for a second pitcher when we run out of this one. Yummy!

My raspberries went bad so I didn’t get to use this to make a smoothie, so I just drank it because it is good. I’m actually a little sad to see this one go but I am so glad I had it iced.

Drank a cup of this iced out of the pitcher. I meant to drink more because it won’t be as good tomorrow. The second day of this is the best because you get more of the peach flavor instead of only the aroma. I think I might take any leftovers of this and use it in part of a smoothie tomorrow or monday.

It is so nice to just be able to walk to the fridge and pour myself a cup of tea that isn’t over-the-top-sweet sweet tea. Lightly peachy and the hint of sugar I added helps bring out the peachiness. I know what I will be doing with the last of my tea bags when this pitcher runs out.

Elaina (my tea friend) also gave me some more of these when she gave me my new tea mug. This time they taste a little more peachy and they still smell wonderful. I am pretty sure it is the same company and I am glad that they are tasty. I think I might have accidentally brewed it longer than five minutes, but in this case I believe that may be a good thing. Nice for studying with.

This tea brews a dark caramel liquor providing an aroma full of baked peaches and the hint of a spicy touch.

On the palate this tea morphs into something different. The profile is slightly astringent, drying the outer edges of the mouth. The peach flavor is more subtle at this point and the ginger tends to come through with just a tough more force. The flavor here is weaker than other peach/ginger blends I’ve had and I actually appreciate that.

I would recommend this blend to fans of peach flavored teas and lighter Indian and Ceylon black teas.

This smells so deliciously juicy – it is just begging to be iced!! I had it hot this morning however and I accidentally oversteeped it a bit. It was still peachy and gingery but it was a bit bitter. Not undrinkable. I am sure it will be divine when i actually steep it correctly.

Had a cup of this prepared at work today. It helped me get through some very tedious data entry. Thank you tea!

Just had a cup of this. I steeped it for the correct amount of time today. I did forget about it for a little while though so it was a little cooler then I would have like when I drank it, but it was still good. Definitely less bitter than my last cup. I think I like other peach ginger teas better though. I wish it was as peachy as it smells and I wish there was overall more ginger. I do think that icing this might bring out the flavors a bit.

Having this tea with breakfast this morning. It is spicy and comforting – just what I need today. I am leaving for home today. I probably won’t be on steepster much until the beginning of January. I hope everyone has wonderful holidays!

This tea has a great smell and the peach flavor actually smells like a fresh peach and not like a factory produced flavor. Taste wise, it’s very smooth and the peach and ginger kind of take a backseat. I’ve had other ginger teas where the ginger takes over so I was glad that it wasn’t undrinkable but it also wasn’t very exciting. For a tea called Peach Ginger its more like a whisper of peach ginger. Still the smell is great and it is a nice dependable smooth black tea.

I love this tea. It has an excellent mixture of peach and ginger, but the flavors are not so strong that the flavor of the black tea gets lost. I was sad to use the last of the tea in my tin. This one will go on my shopping list.

I expected more peach out of this since peach is listed first in the name, I got a lot of ginger. This tea has a real bite to it with just a hint of sweet and that bite was more noticeable when the tea cooled.

I ended up mixing my first steep and second together to cut down on the ginger and it was a lot better that way. I was able to taste a bit more of the peach. I’ll probably save my last two bags for next time my stomach is upset, this will be perfect.

Not my favorite peach tea, especially since I spent most of the day drinking mellow mango peach from Della Terra, but this wasn’t bad at all for a bagged tea.

I got this as part of a little 4-tin set, each with 4 tea bags – when I took the plastic wrapping off the stack of tins, I was a little alarmed that it ALL smelled like peach. I thought it would be totally overpowering and too synthetically sweet and fruity, but thankfully it’s proving me wrong – it’s nicely peachy without being over the top, and the ginger lends a nice little bite to it.

Used up my last of the sample I got today. I really like this iced. It’s great unsweetened, very smooth and fruity. I might actually get more of this, but I think I’ll see if anyone out there has a Peach Ginger in a loose leaf tea.

Steeped this while driving to the fast food joint (not my first choice, but I realized in the car that I had forgotten my wallet, and scrambled for change in the console) and back. Still good, no bitterness. I had gotten a cup of ice with my order and dumped it in to cool it.

Really good with my salad and sandwich.

I’m not the biggest fan of fruity teas but I love this one. Add a bit of soymilk and a drop of agave and you got yourself a rich little treat. My only complaint is that it could be more gingery.

Good tea, but just a little too heavy on the ginger side for me.
