I’ve been begging for a “fresh peach off the tree” tea for months now. NOT peach candy. Peaches. The real thing. I’ve e-mailed David’s about it. I’ve tweeted them. I’ve received the same response both times (“great idea! We’ll give it a shot!”). I got excited about Peaches n Cream. I thought it might be like peach pie with ice cream. It wasn’t :(
So I crossed my fingers when I tried this tea. First a hot sample. Meh. I knew it wouldn’t be all that great hot, that’s OK. I ordered a big ol’ cup of this iced. I drank it. It was good! It wasn’t peaches off the tree, but it was good. Yes, it was sweet. But I was expecting it to be sweet…it is peach-flavoured after all. And when do you bite into a peach and say “MAN. THIS IS THE BEST SALTY/BITTER/SOUR/UMAMI PEACH EVER.” Yuck. Peaches are sweet. If you don’t like sweet, don’t drink peaches.
Verdict: I’m not sure if I’d buy this tea. I’m thinking about it, and I might end up with a summer tea collection (would be the first time ever that I bought an entire collection). We’ll see. If you like sweet peaches, you might like this tea. But more…sweet peach candy. Not actual peaches.
