I’ve had a pretty good run with the Della Terra teas that I ordered several weeks ago so I was really excited to finally get around to this one. I love peach and rose so I was a little surprised when my first cup of this left me feeling kind of meh. It smelled great in the package and while steeping, but the peach didn’t really shine as much as it should and it had a rather odd flavor to it I just can’t place.
I thought I would try it again with a few changes and ended up falling asleep while my tea was still steeping. I was worried this morning that I’d have a foul tasting mess on my hands (and I would have with many of the other teas I own), but actually it was quite the opposite. What I had was amazing and possibly my new favorite peach tea. It’s also good to know that this tea is pretty much impossible to over steep.
So on to a third try, I did a cold steep of this for most of the day and I think this is where the tea truly shines. It has a sweetness on its own that is just amazing. Even though I’ve told myself I’m not buying any more tea this month if Della Terra has another good sale I’ll have to pick a bunch of this up, I know that I’ll be drinking this cold all summer long.
