Honey Ginger Southern Peach

Sipdown (240)!

Made a pot of this, which I shared with my mom.

Since it was a pot worth I got to try it a few different ways. On its own, I think this has a REALLY similar peach flavour to the other Impeach tea I’ve already tried – it’s very obvious they come from the same company because of that identical, juicy sweet peach flavour all on its own. It treads the line of natural and candy like, and is very smooth overall. The base is nice too; kind of generic but fades into the background really well to highlight the other flavours. The ginger was surprisingly light; I normally don’t love ginger/peach teas but with it being such a mellow, light whisp of a flavour in this blend I actually think the ginger was a nice compliment to the peach. Warming, and still sweet and fun.

Then I tried it with a bit of honey which didn’t change up much other than making the peach a little too sweet/cloying. So, after the one teacup worth of honey sweetened tea I moved on to something else. That something else was the version with milk, which was really tasty! It definitely was creamier, obviously, but that tempered some of the brightness of the peach in a way that still maintained the lush sweetness of it – if that makes sense. I also feel like it just slightly drew out some of the ginger, and married the two together a little more smoothly.

Thanks for the share MissB! This was really tasty, and it was very interesting seeing how the different additives effected the flavour overall. Straight up was definitely the best, but milk was a close second.

Lots of caveats with this one – it needs sweetener, it’s much better when cooled, there’s zero ginger that I can taste (and I LOVE ginger), the peachy-ness is the best of the teas I’ve tried so far.

Love the tea leaves in this one, love how it’s packed, love the company that provided this to me (via Instagram, in exchange for an honest review, see http://instagram.com/teatravelninja/).

As the other tea in this collection that I’ve tried so far, it smells divine. This one though, I didn’t sit with and smell too much before brewing – I didn’t want to be disappointed.

Hot, I didn’t like it too much, it tasted odd and artificial. Cooled and sweetened, it’s a cup of peachy goodness, and quite lovely.

Steeped DAVIDs Perfect Teaspoon (2.5 tsp) of tea in 8 oz of water for 3 minutes in boiling water, and then let it cool 15 minutes at room temperature.
