Peach and Passionfruit [Duplicate]

Fleurdelily sent me a couple of these bags, and also some strawberry ones of the same brand. I’m mentioning those here as well because the packaging of these bags is amazingly attractive. All colourful and with large drawings of the fruits in question. The sort of packaging that says ‘you KNOW I will taste good, because I look so good!’ From the moment I took them out of the box, I was looking forward to trying them.

That happens very rarely for me when I see bagged tea!

I’m having the peach and passionfruit now, and I must say that peach is a funny thing for me. I like peaches to eat and peach-flavoured things in general, but have always avoided it in tea because it is very much a hit and miss flavour for me. I never know what I’ll get with peaches in tea, and there doesn’t seem to exist a middle of the road for me.

Apart from the packaging, I must admit I wasn’t expecting much from a bagged tea in the peach-flavour-liking department, but perhaps it’s the addition of the passionfruit that does it here, because this one is actually quite pleasant. (Could also depend on what sort of base is used, I guess)

I think it has passionflowers as well as passionfruit actually, because there is a fairly floral taste to it, which prevents the peach from getting that nearly cloying flavour that I dislike in peach tea. Ironic really, because I don’t normally care much for floral teas either.

This one tastes quite warm and autumn-y, which is a surprise because I always connect tropical flavours with summer, but there is a sort of spicy note in here which may be the floral aspect or something else entirely that just says autumn. It fits the current grey and wet weather rather nicely.

I’m pleased with this.

The aroma of this tea is delightful.

The flavor is good. The peach and passion fruit flavors are strong, juicy and delicious. The black tea is not real strong, but there is no detectable bitterness, and very little astringency to it.

Colour: Dark coffee brown.
Smell: Sweet juicy peach.

The taste is not as strong as the smell which is a little disappointing. The peach and passionfruit are the first flavours you can taste before the black tea creates a sharp after taste. The balance is not the best but it’s also not the worst. It could do with stronger fruit flavours for me as I like my fruit tea very fruity.

Very pleasant, but not as tasty as it smells.

Received this in my SipsBy box this month (my last four a bit). I’ve never tried Ahmad Tea before, so I was excited to try a new-to-me brand. As expected, the teabags are filled with fannings. There’s no distinct aroma coming from the dry leaf. I added a bit of honey, and this was pretty tasty, but not extraordinary. I can actually taste both the peach and passionfruit, and they don’t taste too artificial.

This tea is okay but not spectacular. It needed a fair amount of sugar to make the flavour pop for me, which isn’t ideal since I’m on a diet. It was tasty enough, fruity and such, but not fantastic.

It probably didn’t help with the concurrent anxiety attack I experienced this morning but it’s a tasty snack afterward.

I got this in my Birchbox for this month. If any of you guys like cosmetic samples its an awesome deal check it out! It’s always a nice surprise when they send some tea in the box. It’s normally just cosmetic samples. This is a decent fruity black tea. It smells delish but something about the flavoring just isn’t there for me. It just needs a little more of something not sure what though. I only have two teabags of it so I can’t experiment too much. But I can say it is not the worst peach tea I have ever had either. I am definitely happy that the black tea base had no bitterness to it though.

Smells fruity and nice… must be mostly the passionfruit (to me). For a black tea I was expecting something a bit stronger, but it doesn’t come off as very strong, even when steeped for some time. Not bad.
