Another sample from the generous Kawaii433, thanks!

This smells straight up like a roasted barley tea with baked peach scent, pushing into artificial territory. This ain’t no juicy fresh peach. Taste is so much weaker than aroma. Has some of that roasted barley, autumn leaf, wood, mineral and peach flavor. Weird body — thin yet slimy? and strange aftertaste. I tried doing a second steep but it was lacking so sticking to one steep for the last bit of leaf in the bag. Oh, I’ve tried both 195F and 212F for brewing with no noticeable change. At least the tea can’t be screwed up that way.

Flavors: Artificial, Autumn Leaf Pile, Burnt Sugar, Mineral, Peach, Roasted Barley, Wood

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Yeah, I thought I was being generous giving it a 70 lol. :)

derk

My rating seems harsh. I guess I based it off the fact that some oolong and green teas can give a much stronger peach flavor without the use of added flavoring.

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
