Thanks for the sample Cameron B! :D
I hot steeped this one and poured it over ice to take to work with me this morning. I find I like these fruity Fauchon teas iced the best. The peach is very nice and the thyme is not too strong or too weird or too overpowering. I’ll definitely pick up a tin if I ever see one at TJ Maxx, but I checked my local store again last night and we are still Fauchon-free.
Now I kind of want to experiment with peach/thyme flavored desserts…ooh or maybe jam!!!

I really need to try more teas iced and cold-brewed, I just never know how much tea to use. :P And if you want more of this one, I’m willing to share!
And peach & thyme jam sounds lovely! Or a peach & thyme tart on puff pastry! Hungry! XD
Hehe, I like the tart idea. I’m hungry too! Stuck at work a little while longer, boooo.
My rule for hot brewed iced tea is I use twice the amount of leaf, so it is double strong when I pour it over a whole glass of ice so it will not be too diluted. Cold brew is another beast all together. I usually only cold brew flavored greens, personally.
Making iced tea seems like a good way to use up leaf quickly, so I’ll probably go that route for some of the teas I don’t like as much or have a lot of.
You could make peach & thyme jam, and then spread that on the tart and top it with fresh peaches and bake it! And then it needs whipped cream, lul. >>
Oh and no need to share more, I’ve got almost a full tin of pear and 2 more tins of Fauchon, a 2nd pear and also an apple coming to me soon from a very sweet Steepster pal :D But I appreciate it!
I still have a little bit of pear that I need to try and write a note about. I like the apple a lot too! And the sweet almond & orange one. :D
I really want to find some almond and orange! One of my top fave Fauchon teas featured almond heavily. It was called La Naissance and I think its discontinued. http://steepster.com/teas/fauchon/41333-la-naissance
The pear is glorious iced :D

Peach and thyme! So interesting…the jam idea sounds yummy! Ooh, maybe I should try peach and thyme scones!
