I’m drinking all the peach things at the moment, and here’s another. This is one of the three David’s teas I have left that’s languished in my stash, and I don’t really know why. Perhaps because oolong historically hasn’t been a favourite of mine, or perhaps because the name isn’t particularly suggestive of the flavours? Once I realised it was peach, I was in there – and with all the more enthusiasm because David’s peach is a peach flavouring I can get behind.
The main flavour I pick up initially is oats, reminiscent of flapjack, but a little toastier? I imagine that’s the oolong, combined with the almond slivers. Then comes the peach; sweet, juicy, but not overdone. A hard balance to strike, but struck well indeed. The end of the sip contains a creaminess that I really wasn’t expecting, not quite at the level of a milk oolong, but heading in that direction. It works really well, as you might expect, with the peach.
Overall, I’m getting a kind of peach/cream/breakfast cereal vibe. Not what I expected, but I like it.
