Description

In the famous poem 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock', T.S. Eliot wrote, 'do I dare to eat a peach?' The literary-minded folks at Adagio have taken it upon themselves to provide Mr. Eliot with an answer: no need to eat one. Just steep a cup of our premium Ceylon black tea flavored with sweet peaches. Please, be a peach. Give this tea a try.

Story

Cultivation of peaches began in China as early as 2000BC. A Chinese bride was referred to as a peach, due to the seeming likeness between a peach and female genitalia. The winds of trade brought peaches to Greece and Persia, where they were instantly accepted. The juicy fruit was also a big hit with the Romans, who cultivated it throughout the empire. From Italy, peaches made the leap across the Atlantic, where early settlers planted them throughout the east coast. Soon they were so plentiful, local botanists though of them as native fruits.

"I did not care for this at all. I made it iced. It did not taste like peach - it had a strange, artificial, perfumey taste. "

"The peach wasn't all that great. Smells good, but the taste was lacking for sure. Would make a great air freshener. "

"I go down South frequently, where peach tea is considered no big deal because it's all over the place. You buy it at pretty much any restaurant in a half-gallon jug (or bigger) and take it home. It's at the grocery store, it's an option when you go out to eat. I mainline it when I'm down there, even though it tastes vaguely artificial and scary. Mmmm, peach tea. Then I come back to Yankee territory, where you can't get decent seafood to save your life, much less barbecue or peach tea. And in the dead of winter when I'm going 'damn, I wish I was in Florida right now' and getting all nostalgic for peach tea, even the cheap stuff from the cooler at the gas station over chipped ice, this hits the spot. A little bit of sugar and a splash of milk and it's kind of like being on the beach...only I'm surrounded by three feet of snow, the tea is hot and of much better quality, and I'm not even thinking about chipped ice. Warm and mellow, it's tasty and just peachy enough to taste "fresh" and would probably be awesome iced. And with none of the aspertame-and-styrofoam afterglow that comes with the jugged stuff from a 7-11 somewhere off the lowest reaches of I-75."

"Black tea with a light flavoring of peach. Pretty good, but wish there was a bit more bite to the peach flavoring. "

"I love peach teas, and Adagio's is the best black peach I've ever had. It had such a wonderful scent and the peachiness is perfect for me with two spoons of sugar. (Unsweetened, the peach flavor is rather hard to detect.)"

"You obviously can't go wrong with a peach flavored black tea."
