The dry leaves smell almost too peachy—very acrid and chemical. Like a Jolly Ranchers Peach Candy on steroids!
Luckily, though, the taste is pretty mellow. Basically like a roasted oolong with a hint of peach. But it’s not a fresh peach, it’s peach jam.
I want more of a “juicy peach” taste. Maybe that’s hard to achieve with flavoring (or maybe I should just eat an actual peach while drinking tea, huh? :P ). So, although this is drinkable and I will finish my sample, I will not order more.
(and I won’t be compelled to throw away my sample like I did with the Madagascar Vanilla Sunday Blend shudder)

Have you tried any of Lupicia’s peach teas? They have a black and an oolong, both of which I thought had a more fresh peach taste than Jolly Rancher taste. (I think their oolong is better but both are tasty.)

I was eyeing that peach oolong from Lupicia—it’s the popular one, I think it’s called “Momo”? But when I ordered, I was in the mood for more “caramelly-sweet” teas so that’s all I picked. But I’ll keep it in mind for next time!
