Peach & Passion Fruit

Dry this smells great – more peach than passion
Post infusion both aromas are about the same
taste is a little more passion than peach but you can still taste the black tea.
I really like this flavor combo especially for a bagged tea!
YUMO!

I cold steeped this in a cup of water overnight. REALLY impressed for a bagged tea. More peach than passion fruit, but it’s a nice refreshing real fruit taste. The black tea base just disappears into the background. Pleasantly surprised.

My taste buds are off today since I have a cold. Hot tea, though, is nice on the throat, especially Ahmad’s fruity flavors. The cold mutes or tones down the flavor and it is less intense than it should be, though I do taste both the peach and the passionfruit. I think I would like this tea a lot more without the cold. As the tea cools somewhat, the flavors come out more.

From a sampler; long neglected in the office stash. I think I scorched the first round, which may have something to do with the age of the remaining couple of bags. However, a shorter steep time helped. Nice balance of both flavors and tasty on ice even without completely chilling it first.

Iced, dash of sugar, sweet fruity perfection!

Oh wow, I absolutely steeped this one way too long. Distracted at work as usual. It’s so bitter. A little cream helped but wow is it astringent. My fault completely though. I’m not very familiar with passion fruit, but the peach is there. It’s not exactly fresh, ripe peach; more artificial.

Dumping this cup due to user error. I’ll try again.

Although I enjoyed it, I was hoping the passion fruit flavor would be more present. Peach and black tea flavors were there, though.

How i got it: Bought it (Looking for a fruit-flavored tea, i was about to try an Akbar, but decided for this one instead).

Experience: Intense aroma, dominated by the peach, although you can note the passion fruit and the tea to a lesser degree. Its has an intense flavor too, being mainly defined by the peach, but having more presence of the passion fruit. The base tea is specially bold (the same sensation i got from Ahmad’s English Breakfast) and can easily turn out a little bitter if oversteeped. The downside? I missed a bit more of definition, naturality and richness in the flavors. On the other hand, it has quite much potencial for an iced version. Not a very impressive tea, but a good one anyway.

Would i buy it again?: I’d say this tea is a bit above the average, so it has its possibilities.
