August Peach Black Tea

Peaches are from a deciduous tree that is native to China. Cultivation spread throughout the world and today major supplies of peaches come from America, China, Italy and Greece. Peaches and peach trees have long histories of symbolism in Asia; in China, peaches are considered a symbol of long life, in Korea they are considered symbols for happiness, wealth and longevity and in Vietnam peaches herald Spring and symbolize peace and happiness.

Peaches have a delicate, intoxicating aroma and a heavenly taste. The peaches grown later in the season, in August and September, have a sweeter more delicate peach taste. This bright amber cup has a sweet, almost creamy, peach taste and is sweeter in taste than our regular peach flavored tea.

Ingredients: Black teas, marigold petals and august peach flavoring.

This tea pairs well with fish dishes, chicken, salads, goat cheese, tomatoes, and cheesecake.

Brew tea at 212º – steep for 3 minutes.
