Peach Tranquility

I liked this better than Precious White Peach from Teavana. However, since I can only seem to get one steeping out of it, I can’t consider this a good value purchase.

Dry:

Smells great of fresh peaches and fruit. Since it is an herbal, there are no tea leaves and its very heavy and dense, so you use up tea quickly.

Steeped:

1.5 or 2 tsp per 8 oz. Add a bit of rock sugar and you have yourself a very sweet nectar of peach syrup. It’s almost overbearing in sweetness, but does blend well with many other of Teavana’s tea’s to add a bit of peachiness.

Alas my search for a good, natural tasting peach tea continues.

Peach Tranquility is exactly as it sounds…peach and tranquil. Pre-steep, this tea resembles Teavana’s myriad of tisanes with a melange of dried fruits and a sparse number of tea leaves. Steeped, it resembles old, dirty pee. The aroma of the pre-steep tea is simply intoxicating with its abundance of peach notes. Steeped, the aroma is tempered quite a bit tho it is still present. Upon tasting, the peach presence initially is missing, but it quietly reappears once the tea crosses the rear of the palate. This tea is pleasant, unassuming and unremarkable. It probably will fair best if blended with something else.

delicious. sweet peachy taste and very fragrant but not too much. personally don’t like my fruit teas too strong so this one was perfect for me. may be weak for heavy tea drinkers.

I just made a cup of this delicious tea while I watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Not quite the right fit. Although the tea was delicious, as always, it was also calming, which the episode of Criminal Minds was not. But thats ok, I still love both. And I love you Dr. Reid.

This is a herbal tisane.

1.5 tsp steeped in 8oz water. Sweetened with 1 peice of rock sugar.

Smell of dry tea: smells like Trident peach gum, notes of peach, pineapple, candy. Very sweet.

Appearance of dry tea: small uniform chunks of fruit, small light green whole leaves.

Colour of liquor: orange-pink, very peachy in colour, light and clear.

Taste of liquor: tastes very similar to peach gum. Fruity, mild, mellow, slightly sweet.

I will definitely keep this in stock and recommend it to others.

I also recommend Criminal Minds to others :)

I have been wanting to replace my 2 formerly favorite bagged teas with loose leaf versions. I know I won’t get it exactly, but enough that I don’t miss not having the bag version. (Perfect Peach and Mint Medley by Bigelow.) So with that in mind, I picked up the Peach Tranquility by Teavana.
Now generally, if a tea doesn’t WOW! me (like Zingiber Ginger Coconut.) Then I’m not going to want to get it. However, though this tea did not wow me, I did like it enough that I not only willing to pair it with some of the teas I already got, but possibly might be willing, (in another 2 weeks, with payday.) get something that the Teavana site suggests would be a good pairing. Not to mention do the standard like fiddle with the water temp and steep time.
With Teavana teas I actually grab the kettle right before it boils, or try to, you know, someone compared this to a while tea, I wonder if maybe that temp would work better. Will add to this later if I find a successful and happy pairing, etc.. On a happier note, I bought more Zingiber Ginger Coconut!

I had Peach Tranquility years ago and love it. I found sachets recently at the grocery store. This version tasted slightly off, like the peaches were on the cusp of going rotten. The other flavors were nice but overall a disappointing experience.

It’s good but it’s another one that I can’t help compare to another that I like better. This is peachy, no doubt about that but Just Peachy by DAVIDsTEA just tastes juicier. It’s always the number one pick of my friends from all my teas when they come over. Teavana is more tart, less sweet and has more flavours mingling with the peach whereas DAVIDs tastes like pure peach and is very sweet and almost has a fruit juice-like quality to it. I’m sure that both would make a great iced version. As long as I can buy Just Peachy, I won’t bother getting Peach Tranquility but it still makes a decent replacement in a pinch.

I got this in teabag form for a before-bed cup, and I can’t say I like it much. I find it peachy, but also possessing a note that I can’t put my finger on, one that reminds me of when I drink things with stevia in it. Almost a metallic flavor. Not for me.

It’s fun being the person everyone gives their extra tea to. I’ve got a big tin of this now! I had it cold, and it tastes decent, but a bit light and artificial. I steeped the leftover fruit, and the second steep tastes pretty similar to the first. Maybe this blend would have benefited from a stronger chamomile presence. It’s also now a few years old, so it’s possible the flavors have broken down a bit. There are definitely Teavana flavors that I miss, but I’m okay with this being the last I have of this one.

Before Teavana shut down their online store I bought a bunch of this. The BF is a fan of all things peach, and I like that flavor pretty well, too.

I think next time I may use a bit more of the mix. Generally these sorts of blends taste better to me “overleafed.” Doing the math, I actually underleafed from the directions in retrospect. I don’t usually make more than just enough for me, and since I made enough for the BF too I got confused.

This definitely has a predominant peach aroma and flavor and is plenty sweet even without doubling. Fortunately, the pineapple doesn’t drown out the peach. The citrus note is just enough of an accent not to detract from the rest. It seems to serve the purpose that the tarragon serves in Refresh — it keeps the dominant flavors from being too too.

There’s a slight sour/bitter undertone that comes through in the finish and that may be the chamomile, but I think overleafing may result in this being lessened or removed. We’ll see next time.

The peach is fine — it tastes natural. The color is a little strange — it’s a light golden yellow, which I didn’t expect for some reason.
