White Peach Oolong Tea

This smelled like a Peach Champagne today…lovely. Probably my last cup of the workday. YAY!

This tea is…rustic? That’s the word that comes to mind when I drink this tea, the peach is nice and the tea is nice, but it seems a bit rough around the edges, but in a good way!

Not bad, but not peachy enough!

Meh. The tea itself is okay, but the peach is a bit candy-like and is perhaps a bit overwhelming. I also smoke hookahs, and this reminds me A LOT of your typical peach sheesha. I broke open a bag and remembered why I don’t like stash…. looks like 3/8th cut grass, 5/8th dust. I see a few people commenting about the peach scent diminishing, and this is correct- perhaps a 60 second aroma. It’s not a bad tea though, and I think that if you are a fan of those fruity teas then you’ll probably like this.

TL;DR: I am going to finish the box. I will never buy this tea again.

Generally unremarkable. Light peach flavor. Didn’t pay close attention while drinking.

I am cooling the second half of my cups in hopes that the iced version will “wow” me where the hot did not.

The peach aroma was quite strong when I opened the bag. Without milk or sugar, the oolong taste is dominant, and the peach flavor is missing or very subtle. Adding the milk and sugar, the oolong flavor gets lost, and the peach dominates. The peach is a nice flavor, but I don’t think it meshes with the oolong tea very well. The flavor improved when cold – I think it might be good as an iced tea.

This was back-to-back with some nice Alishan loose leaf, how does a flavored and bagged tea fair?

Quite a strong white peach nose, probably some guava in there, caramelized sugar.

Now, granted my bags are probably expired at this point since they have been sitting around for ages, but this one falls really flat. The cooler it gets, the more I taste a little of the profile. It’s pretty subtle, but I covered that in my previous review. I guess I just thought there might be more flavor with hotter water to start.

Dropped a couple points as I would rather drink this iced or cold-brewed.

Edit: I threw some ice cubes into this one and it’s much better. I think there just isn’t a lot of flavor when it is hot so the little that comes through is available at low temperatures.

Not Stash’s best offering. I taste mostly lemongrass. The peach flavoring is weak and doesn’t work well with the oolong base.

Sipdown! (46)

This was from an old Sips by box. November maybe?

It’s actually fairly decent given it’s an inexpensive teabag. The oxidized oolong has a comforting and slightly toasty autumn leaf flavor profile. The peach is candylike, but most peach flavoring is (in my opinion). And it’s not like peach rings, it reminds me more of the gummy alligators that were in the DAVIDsTEA matcha advent calendar, with more tartness and depth to the flavor.

Quite pleasant in its simplicity. I wouldn’t rush out and buy it or anything, but I could see this being a nice one to keep around for traveling, or other times when having individually-wrapped teabags is convenient.

This is tea 25/50 I bought in a Stash Assortment. I am feeling really lucky at the halfway mark. This is my first Oolong Tea and I loved it. I universally love peach in all teas and this was no exception. The oolong is so smooth and delicious. The peach is just a hint. I am inspired to try more Oolongs.
