Peach Apple Crisp

This is alright, I enjoyed it but I don’t think I would buy more.

I’m drinking it iced, and there’s just a slightly off taste to it, which comes off to me as apple. It could be the peach, I don’t know, maybe it’s a combination of the two and the floral aspect? Because I don’t get much floral notes and there’s definitely some petals in here.

It’s an interesting base for a flavored tea, I wish more people used Assam for flavored black bases because it just makes it a bit more interesting.

Unlike other notes on here, I do get cinnamon. That’s why I made this iced, I did not expect to taste any given it seemed it was hard to find, but it is indeed present. And actually it’s not bad at all. It definitely comes across as a baked dessert, although yes, the baked good notes could be stronger. I suppose the assam helps with this too.

The other positive is that the apple does taste like apple rather than just providing a sweet, tart fruit flavor. The peach is actually what I feel like it’s lacking.

I do love how The Persimmon Tree uses hibiscus. You can’t really taste it, but it does taste like it’s boosting other flavors.

Purchased some samples from Persimmon Tree and this was the first one I tried.
I was pleased with the aroma in dry form and could really smell the hibiscus coming through and it had a very pleasing almost cobbler like aroma. I am not one for floral teas but the hibiscus was somehow just right in this one.
Brewed it was very fruity but not sweet. I think I would have preferred it a bit sweeter however I did not feel a need to add sweetener either.
Maybe I was too tired still, or too lazy, but I enjoyed it just fine without any sugars.
Something about how fresh it tasted – like peaches from the orchard was just fine with me this morning. I will have to have another cup but I really did not get the cinnamon in it.
It was a tiny bit astringent.

I received a sample of this from someone. I don’t remember who because it just got mixed in with all of the other samples D: So thank you to whoever sent me this!!
The aroma is nice. I’ll admit I kind of like the rooibos and black tea together. The rooibos gives it that baked kind of flavor. To me all of the flavors kind of blend together. Not really impressed with this tea.. I just like it. It’s an ok tea.

I can’t remember what peach cobble tastes like, but I can say that this is pretty good. It’s mild, and fruity, with warm peach notes and something buttery/pastry-like hovering in the back. It’s slightly sweet and slightly comforting too for this frazzled Monday morning.

There’s a lot of sediment at the bottom of this cup though. This was a pretty good $1 sample though!

The black tea base is strong and malty. Very nice. One of the stronger black tea bases I’ve experienced when it comes to flavored black teas. It is very solid.

The peach and apple are well-balanced and the cinnamon is a light touch, this isn’t overly flavored or too spicy. It is just a very well conceived dessert tea with the emphasis placed squarely upon the tea.

I like it!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me a bit of this tea to try.

Trying this even though my mouth is contaminated with too spicy freezer pizza. I can smell cinnamon and apple in the brewed tea and that’s making me a bit reluctant to take a sip. I am not a fan of cinnamon at all.

And it definitely tastes of far too much cinnamon for my tastebuds. I’m quite impressed with the apple flavour though. It actually tastes like apple rather than just ‘sourish fruit’ taste. I just wish it weren’t paired with cinnamon, though I know it’s fairly common to do that in baked goods. The peach flavour really only lends itself to tasting some over the top fruity flavour which is not doing this tea any favours either. Don’t like. Glad I only had the one sample.

Thanks JackieT for adding this to the swap box. Maybe I’m not in the mood for flavored black teas today. I seem to be striking out. This isn’t bad, it’s just ok. I get some apple, I get some peach, not really any cinnamon, and certainly no cobbler/crisp. I think I was looking for more sweet ooey gooey, bakery goodness and I just didn’t get that. I got more crisp apple, peach.

I have been waiting for these cute little samples from The Persimmon Tree to arrive all week! Well they came today and I decided to try the Peach Apple Crisp first. I really like this a lot. It is very smooth tasting to me. I can’t definitively say I can taste the peach or apple but the combination is nice. It could be a tiny bit “peachier” for my liking but I think I will try it iced next to see if it tastes fruitier that way. This company has $1.00 -$1.25 samples so it is a great way for me ( as a new tea tester/drinker) to try lots of different teas without buying a whole bag of something I don’t like…. Like red rooibos or honey bush …. But that is a different story.

I had this a while ago with a bit of rock sugar and it was quite good, but not good enough to replace when I use up the sample. I’m currently having it without sugar, and it still tastes good (I don’t think it needs the sugar, so I won’t be adding sugar again.) The first time I had it the apple flavor was stronger (maybe the sugar contributed to that?), but today the peach flavor stands out. Either way, the addition of the fruit makes this much better than standard black tea. This has none of the bitterness or pungency that I taste with most black teas.

(Tea from silentrequiem. Thanks!)

Going to refrain from giving a rating on this, because the tea wasn’t bad at all, it just wasn’t at all what I expected. Peach Apple Crisp just sounds like it would be more of an almost fall/holiday flavor type tea. The Persimmon Tree website claims that it has “gala apple and cinnamon with a crisp floral finish” flavor note, but I could not taste one fleck of cinnamon or much apple either. If anything the rose makes this taste more along the lines of a slightly fruity flavored rose black tea mix.
