Precious White Peach

Name:  Precious White Peach


Brand:  Teavana


Primary Type:  White


Dry Scent:  This smells more of peach candy than fresh peaches, but there is definitely a "peach" kind of scent to it.  There is also a faint grassiness from the white tea, and a little bit of citrus from the rosehips and lemon verbena


Steeping Time:  2-3 min


Steeped Flavour:  The peach is much less sweet here, more closely resembling actual peaches or nectarines.  There is also quite a bit of the floral, grassy taste of the chamomile and marigold petals coming through, no doubt aided by the grassy white tea, and I might cut down the steeping time next time to reduce this.  Nice, calming and relaxing sort of tea, but the balance of flavours could be a bit better.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This is a pretty delicate tea, you wouldn't really want to put it with food as it would be easily overwhelmed.  It would probably pair quite nicely with a bit of peach schnapps though!


Rating out of Six Tails:
4.5/6


Buy/Don't Buy

I put a buy on this, but do keep in mind it's a bit on the steep side, so you might want to try before you buy if you can!
