From my Tea Runners box this month, and I’m drinking it both hot and cold brewed this morning. This is a decent peach tea, with a good “fresh peach” flavour. I don’t detect any ginger in either the hot or cold preparation, which is impressive because ginger is not exactly a subtle flavour component. I was a bit perplexed by the white/green/oolong base, but it works. The base tea is subtle but present, adding a fresh, crisp, juicy vibe to the peach flavour without any astringency or bitterness. It’s a very solid flavoured tea, so I wish it were marketed on that basis without all the unwarranted claims of “health benefits”. And they need to either add more ginger or take it out of the name, sheesh.

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
