Perfect Peach - Bigelow - herbal/tisane

This is another one of those grocery store herbal teas that I actually really like.  It has a strong peachy flavor, but unfortunately some of that flavor is artificial.  Also, like a lot of cheaper fruit teas tend to do, they use hibiscus to add a tangy flavor.  Aside from all of that, it's peachy and refreshing.  This tea is great blended with a non-flavored green tea for the flavor punch while getting the health benefits from green tea.

Fruta Bomba - Teavana - green tea

This tea had potential,but it didn't quite live up to it.

As the name implies, this tea is full of wonderful, fruity aromas, however, the peach, papaya and apples that lend their sweet, tropical notes to the brewing fragrance, but the flavor falls a little short.  That said, I have found that the notes come out a bit brighter if it is cold steeped for several hours.

This is not a bad tea at all, just a little disappointing.  One great quality of it is that it blends well with other fruity teas.

Peach Ginger - Zhena's Gypsy Tea - black tea

I purchased this tea in a sampler set of four mini tins of flavored black teas from Zhena's.  I brewed it hot in 212 degree water for 3 minutes with a teaspoon of rock sugar.

The peach flavor was subtle and the ginger was a bit more pronounced, but both flavors were not represented strongly in this tea.  I like my tea to be really bold and flavorful, and this tea missed the mark by quite a bit.  However, if you are the type of person who likes more subtle flavors emerging in your tea, this may be more your style.
