Tea of the Week for May 14, 2018!
My newest “Prince Tribute” tea – which I should have actually released as a June tea to correspond with his birthday (June 7) but my inventory required a last minute shuffle of what teas I’d make for this month so I needed to change things around a bit and make this one for this month instead.
My first (and only other) Prince Tribute tea was “When Doves Cry” – which was a white tea blended with Apricot and Vanilla and included candied violets as an ingredient – was really quite an expensive blend (to date, my most expensive blend) because of those candied violets (they’re pricey!) so this time around, I wanted to make something that was a little more affordable. This one is not quite as fancy, but it is quite tasty!
The idea behind the blend is a mint peach lemonade but I didn’t want to kick it in full-on lemonade mode because I’ve done a few lemon teas lately – so the lemon here is really delicate – like an accent flavor. I also did not want the mint to overpower the peach – and I think that I managed to achieve what I set out to do with this blend.
I started with organic Chinese Sencha and added spearmint, freeze-dried peaches and lemon balm. It’s sweet, it’s peachy, it has a lovely mint note that isn’t overpowering and balances itself well with the juicy peach notes. A really smooth, refreshing cuppa for summer that tastes really nice as a hot tea, but even better as an iced tea!

of course I had to get another Prince tribute tea! last year? the year before? The When Doves Cry tea was absolutely the most amazing thing. I cold-brewed this and mainly taste the lemon and mint, not really getting the peach. I’m going to make this hot and then maybe put some ice in it to see if that helps.
