Got my Teavivre samples in the mail today…and some cookie cutters too…so it was a pretty awesome mail day to be sure.
Anywhow….I had so many options I didn’t know where to start so
I left it up to the fam. My 4 year old told me to try the peach jasmine becuase it’s named after princesses….can’t argue with that logic.
I brewed 1 tsp for 8 oz, 2 min. It’s very light. At first when it was steaming hot, I thought I had done something wrong. It didn’t smell very peachy and I couldn’t taste much…of course I did practically scald my tongue so that probably doesn’t help…but I was too excited.
Anyway, if you let this cool to normal human consumption temperatures it does start to develop a fruity peachy taste. Still light. And there is an aftertaste of Jasmine that kinda lingers. But most def not in any way too pronounced. It whispers.
What surprised me most was how balanced the green was…I’ve had my share of greens and this has to be one of the lightest and non-grassy green I’ve had yet. It all works well…nothing overwhelming any component so you get the entire range of ingredients in your sip…you can taste peach, green tea and jasmine all its own but complimenting each other.
A good sip.
Trying it iced….
I’s so light in color.
I think I like it best iced actually…all the flavors just become enhanced. The peach gets juicer.
Oddly there isn’t anything about this tea that screams PEACH! In fact dry, I was kinda worried by the smell of PEACH when I opened the sample. But that’s just not the case. In fact I might think about steeping more pearls at once next time.
Anyway, a very light, crisp and refreshing green.
