Oh, yummy!

I was in the mood for a peach tea and brewed a pot of the ginger peach tea from my (new!) local tea shop. It was VERY disappointing, all astringent and fake soapy peach flavor. It pained me to pour it down the drain, but I just couldn’t bear it. So I opened this one instead. What a lovely difference!

This one brews up a nice, dark color. The freeze-dried peach bits are large and the star anise was nearly whole. It smells heavenly, even to someone like I, who has an impaired sense of smell. The flavor was rich, smooth, slightly spicy and delicious. I’m so glad I ordered this one!

Flavors: Pastries, Peach, Spicy

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 45 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
