This was a free sample from an Adagio order. My sun sign is a Gemini and I like peach teas quite a bit so I was curious to try this.
The dry leaf smells like gummy peach rings which were a favorite growing up. The steeped tea has a candy-like peach flavor as well. The peach reminds me of AU’s Dark Iris tea although that one had an oolong base instead of a white tea base. The white tea does come through and is vegetal and floral with a slight sweetness. I still prefer Dark Iris over this one because of the oolong base and complexity that one has. This was a pleasant cup and tasted better than I had anticipated.
