Looks like there’s a subtle, or not so subtle political message here. Impeach tea. What do you guys think? Yeah, I’m pretty sure this company is trying to say something. All I know for sure is that I love trying new teas! Presidential Peach is a blend of black tea, flower petals (red, white, and blue, of course) and peach flavor. This tea really is beautiful with little flecks of color sitting among the dark black tea leaves.

The taste is pretty good too! The primary flavor is certainly of strong black tea. Then there are notes of peach as well, not so subtle either. The peach flavor tastes good, not artificial. This tea is easy to drink and it a fun addition to the mix. Up north, we don’t drink peach tea the way they do in the the south. The caffeine in this flavored tea is enough that it could easily become part of the morning routine.

It’s still cold here, although everyone else in the country seems to be in this funny 4th season called spring, here in Maine we are still in winter. So, I haven’t tried this tea iced yet, but I’m looking forward to it. This is going to make a great summertime tea for sure!

I tried this tea hot first, then iced. It was nice hot. Hot I got a strong but still natural tasting peach flavor and lovely peach aroma. I really liked the sweetness that came from the flower petals and just a touch of honey. Plus, petals make this loose tea gorgeous! I tend to drink my hot tea at double strength, similar to how you would make your tea when you try it iced. That being said, if you like a strong tea go ahead and double. Even when made strong it still tastes nice and not bitter but make sure to not oversteep. (Keep it at or under 5 mins)  If you like iced tea then definitely double using 2 teaspoons per 6 ounces of water and cool before pouring over ice.

As often happens to me, time got away and my hot tea was lukewarm. I poured it over homemade tea ice cubes (made from freezing leftover tea) and it was great. Pro tip: if there’s tea left in the bottom of your teapot always freeze it and save for iced tea. When you use tea ice cubes it doesn’t matter if your tea is lukewarm when you pour it over ice. When the tea ice melts it just melts into tea flavor instead of watered down flavor.

Also, note this is called “impeach tea.” Abby and I don’t tend to offer political statements on the blog…but you can guess that we’re a touch liberal from this posting, Huh?
