Peach tea is the ultimate summer tea classic. While most peach teas are blended with black or green tea, pure peach fruit blends are surprisingly not that common. T2 peach tea Packs a Peach is one of pure fruit/herbal caffeine-free blends. This tea is as fruity as it gets and incredibly aromatic.
What’s in Packs a Peach?
Packs a Peach, fruity peach tea blend from T2 is blended with apple pieces, papaya, sweet blackberry leaves, roasted chicory root, peach, white hibiscus, marigold petals, citric acid and flavourings. That’s a lot of ingredients for a peach tea, but all are there for a reason. It’s a caffeine-free tea suitable for any time of the day.
Scent of dry tea is super nice, sweet, peachy, fruity and intense with a hint of papaya, apple and hibiscus. What’s interesting is that scents of all ingredients are there, but overall, it smells peachy.
One of the most interesting ingredients is perhaps white hibiscus, an ingredient that’s far less common than purple hibiscus. It adds the same tangy flavour, without changing the colour of tea. Roasted chicory root is often used as a caffeine-free substitute for coffee. In tea blends, it adds body and earthy, velvety notes. And last, apple, papaya and peach all give fruity notes, while sweet blackberry leaves are there for natural sweetness. It really sounds like a peach, doesn’t it?
What does T2 Peach tea taste like?
To make a cup of tea, use 1-2 heaped teaspoon of loose tea per cup of boiling water and steep for 5-10 minutes.
The scent of brewed tea is even more peachy than the scent of dry tea. It is naturally quite a sweet tea that doesn’t need any sweeteners. Packs a peach has a light zestiness from hibiscus, fruity and rich peachy velvety flavour and it leaves a very strong peachy aftertaste. It has a lot of depth, which many fruit teas may lack. Being a strong ingredient, hibiscus usually adds a lot of zestiness, but in this tea is adds just enough to balance out the sweetness.
Packs a peach is quite intense, deep, velvety and fruity. Because of the intensity, it would be great for making tea caviar or for using in desserts such as jellies or tea syrups. It’s also perfect for making iced tea. If you want to make an iced tea, don’t cold brew it as it will never get as intense. Use hot water instead and add ice. Flavour is very intense, so a teaspoon will be enough to get a very flavourful iced tea.
This tea is an amazing choice for tea drinkers that prefer bold and strong flavours, naturally sweet teas and peach and tropical flavours.
