A sample from VariaTEA!
This tea smells very juicy and peachy, but more peach flavour as opposed to real peach. I’m not sure what it is with peach flavouring, but it just doesn’t sit right with my senses. However, new teas are always exciting, so in keeping an open mind:
I did accidentally oversteep this as I agonized over the wording in an email I had to send to a group haha. So, instead of 5 minutes, it steeped for 9.5 minutes.
The flavour is more subtle, but still peachy with a hint of sourness, almost like a slightly unripe peach. It actually reminds me of an unsweetened fuzzy peach candy mixed into tea. I don’t think the overstepping has harmed this, which is a plus. The base is not astringent at all and I always enjoy the black/green base mix. Sadly, this is not my cup of tea, but I’m always happy to have tried a new tea!
