Say what you like about peach cobbler tea (and you know me, I’m never one to hold back on a tea-based opinion), this is a tea that tastes exactly like what it purports to taste like. Well, not so much the cobbler part, to be honest. The warm crusty pastry part of the tea’s description isn’t that much in evidence. However, you can’t deny that this is a tea that takes its peachness seriously.
This is due evidently to the freeze dried peaches which, although they may only constitute 3% of the tea’s makeup, certainly make their presence known. In fact, at first sip, this tea is almost too peachy. The fruitiness threatens to overwhelm the whole endeavour and brings the flavour perilously close to a cup of fruit tea, rather than a proper Camellia sinensis cuppa. Luckily, as I progressed through the cup, the Sri Lankan back tea reasserts itself (as it jolly well should what was being 96% of the ingredients*) and the whole tea experience becomes very pleasing with black tea and peaches both putting their best work in, and providing a punchy vibrant flavour greater than the sum of its parts.
*The other 1%, since you ask, is pink cornflowers and natural flavourings.
Today’s featured book really, really had to be James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl but as I don’t seem to have a copy of it any more, I cheated a bit and used the Kindle version.
