White Ginger Peach

Sipdown! 811.

Hot-brewed and chilled this one. Apparently I didn’t really taste peach or ginger last time; this time, I think I’m getting a hint of ginger but not much else. It does taste refreshing though, and the white base is lovely; I’d definitely like to try this (or a variant of it) again in the future.

This was lovely hot, but I can’t wait to try it iced. I have some cold steeping right now. But it tasted a bit off. I’m not going to blame the tea though, as I’m feeling under the weather again. Between my mother in law sharing her bronchitis and someone else feeling the need to come to a slumber party with laryngitis, I’m just destined to spend all of my days off curled up in bed, sick.

I would have been happier with more peach flavor, but I’m a peachaholic. I will try this again when I’m feeling better, provided no one else feels the need to share their illness.

I’m begging people, unless you absolutely have to go out to work or such, stay home and get better instead of going out and getting others sick who maybe can’t afford to stay home and nurse an illness. I’m lucky I have three days off because I can’t call in to work right now.

Not bad not bad, for a white.
Being that ginger is not my fave, I liked this much more than I had anticipated.
Overall, this tea is very light… however the flavours really pop, and yet they do not overtake the tea. Well done Tea Haus! you’ve created a white that lets you actually taste the “tea”!!
Unfortunately, it’s the ginger that rears up most, with peach following closely behind.
It’s that biting hot ginger to. Not the sweet/candied kind I sometimes find loaded into teas.
The peach aspect is lovely though. I think a plain white peach tea would be amazing. Maybe I can ask them to do a custom blend haha.
This is only a sample, but I have enough for another cup. Perhaps I’ll add some sugar to it and see if that brings out the juiciness a little!
Thank you Tea Haus, for the sample!

Strange VariaTEA TTB: Tea #7

I almost skipped this one because ginger peach is such a classic combination of flavours that it takes a lot for me to be excited by it at this point, but the aroma pulled me in with how floral, fresh and dewy the peach smelled!

I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit – the ginger is very light and that really allows the more supple fresh peach notes to come through, and that’s the flavour direction in a ginger peach tea that I personally prefer. It is pretty floral, and in a way that seems in part just from the tea itself and in part from the peach. I don’t always love a floral peach tea, and I wouldn’t have thought that’s what I’d want when ginger is part of the mix, but I felt like it gave a nice nuanced twist and really made the flavours feels multifaceted.

Glad I gave this one a shot!

I don’t like to brew white tea for too long because it becomes bitter so easily. This tea smells wonderful! Like a very mild peach, predominantly ginger scent. I let this steep for like a second and it turned into a pretty pale yellow colour.

As far as taste goes, the flavour is super mild. Maybe I needed to add more tea leaves? But it tastes like a white tea with a very mild ginger, peach flavour.

I am quite shocked this tea has a fair amount of reviews from a little shop in London. It is quite a nice tea. A little twang of dryness from the base I am guessing or perhaps the ginger since that is the prominent flavor. I wish there was a bit more burn from the ginger but it is strong and compliments the slight peachy sweetness well. All in all, I am enjoying this one.

The taste is nice, but I’m not too fond of the type of white tea they used for some reason. Maybe the peach is a bit too strong. I tried this tea called Beijing Sunset sold by Sun Yat Sen Garden in Vancouver, and was hoping it would taste the same but the peach taste was more realistic and less acidic in that one.
