Peach Bellini Customer Reviews

TLDR: All said & told I think this tisane has a good flavor, but it works better as an accompaniment than by itself.

My CommuniTea packet smells like peach rings! Inside is the flavor infused apple pieces & a few tiny rose petals. I don’t think I got any additional fruit pieces in my sample, but I could be mistaken, a lot of fruit looks the same once dried.
I let this steep for 12min at 212F to try to eek out as much flavor as possible. When I tried the tisane hot it tasted mostly like apple, with very light peach flavor. I added sugar, which didn’t really effect the flavor immediately, & let it cool completely. It’s like a whole different drink cold! The fruity peach flavor is much stronger. But for me, even with the stronger flavor it seemed like something was missing - like an off juice.
I took a gamble & attempted to steep this sample again (usually herbals & tisanes are only good for one go’round), but I added cream black tea as well to the steep. There was enough flavor to add a hint of peach to my black tea (yum! peaches’n’cream!), I can only imagine how much better it’d be if I tried it full strength!

Very light fruit flavor when hot. The flavor comes out a little more as it cools. I preferred it iced.

A really lovely peach tea! Has a bit of a tart taste, which is nice

This is a light tea, but it's very tasty! It has a wonderful sweet taste, and no unpleasant aftertaste. My kids enjoyed this one too. It seems little better cold/iced, but it good either way. I just have to use less water or more tea to make it strong enough.

This is a nice, fruity tea that tastes like a summer afternoon. Keep in mind that it's really light, and a second steep tastes like water that once saw a peach.

I quite liked the sweetness and lightness of this tea and I’m glad I saved it for the end of the day to have as a dessert tea. While my communiTEA packet was packed with mostly light colored cube pieces, the peach flavor was present and did not taste added or artificial. I drank this tea after it filled by mistake but found I liked it better cold. I would suggest getting larger than a sample size to ensure a balance of what should be in the tea bag is there and so more tea can be used if you prefer a stronger flavor.

Opening the packet for today’s CommuniTEA cup, the strong scent of peaches poured out. Peering in, only apple pieces and a bit of rose petals dust was inside. I’ve been around this block before! The fruit tisanes are a touchy group! I chose my prettiest teacup, heated my water to 212°, and stuck those sweet smelling rose dusted apple pieces into a warm bath. 10 minutes of steeping and the water had changed into a light peachy pink brew. Sipping, the peach essence was light and weak. Sprinkling the tiniest bit of sugar definitely enhanced the fruity drink, letting the fruit essence fully develop. Sadly, the sample I received was too small to brew a proper sized cuppa. I would be willing to give this another try with a proper sampling and try it iced.

This had a fruity peach scent on opening the CommuniTEA packet. I brewed at 212 for 10 min to make this as strong as possible. It was light in color and taste when hot. I left it cool and drank it room temperature hours later and it had a much stronger and sweeter flavor. I think if I was going to order this I would only make it as iced tea.

Mostly apples with flavoring, ok flavor but the packet was pretty skimpy today. I'd probably suggest 2 tsp per 8oz and a bit of sugar to make this tasty.

I'm reviewing this based off of what was in my communiTEA packet, which was only apple pieces and the sprayed on flavoring. All other fruit and rose petals were missing. What was there tasted pretty strongly of peach, and while hot was sickeningly sweet. I let it cool then poured it over ice, which was more enjoyable in my opinion. What I did get was okay, but I'm guessing with the addition of the missing ingredients this would have been much better. (reviewed through CommuniTEA; 15 min @ 212F)

I received this in my communitea packet today, and it really just looked like a pile of dried apples. However, I steeped for about ten minutes and added some honey and thought this tea had a very juicy yet mild flavor. It tasted less artificial compared to other peach teas that I have had in the past, so I enjoyed it very much. It is not a strong flavor, but a light peach.

I do love peaches and peach-flavored teas and other foods. This just tasted off to me. My CommunTEA packet consisted of just apple pieces, so all I could taste was the artificial-tasting flavorings added to the apples, no real fruit flavors. It smelled like a fake peach candle or something. I really wanted to like this, but perhaps a larger sample size would yield a better result.

Love this tea. A gentle blend of all flavors My favorite this month!

212 degrees for 10 minutes. Apple, orange, peach, pineapple, mango, rose, strawberry, papaya. Despite the apparent fruit salad in this herbal tea, the actual taste of Peach Bellini is that of a very light Peach Bellini. Directions include a steeping of 5 — 10 minutes, but I strongly encourage a steeping of at least 10 minutes and probably 2 teaspoons per cup. Delicious at night, and pairs well with other fruit teas in a second steeping.

A nice gentle fruit flavor. I steeped for over 10 minutes and added a little sugar. The peach flavor was pleasant

The CommuniTEA packet opens to reveal the bright scent of peaches. Popping this one into the VelociTEA maker, I can see many pieces of apple and peach, red flecks of rose petal, and some other bits and pieces of what must be the rest of the ingredients.

Brewing for 7 minutes at 212°F produced a very light tisane with a slight peachy hue. The taste is very fruit forward, and has a lightly sweet peach and tropical character. As it cools, there is a bit more of a tangy flavor like a real peach skin would have.

Adding a bit of rock sugar as sweetener brings out the orange and mango flavors, while still remaining very peachy. Overall this is a nice fruit blend, and would make a good iced tea for a hot summer day.

This tea was peach perfection! I enjoyed the peachy flavor, it would be perfect iced.

I’m not sure if I did something wrong. The package smells wonderful. I brewed it for 10 minutes. I added some sugar but it sort of tastes like nothing. When I stop drinking I feel the after taste of peach but when I’m drinking it seems to not be there. Weird.

The aroma wafting out of the packet is pure heaven! I steeped for 10 minutes to squeeze out all that peachy flavor.

When brewed, this tea looks... uninspiring. It's got a sort of cloudy gray tinge, but don't let that fool you! It tastes delicious - fresh juicy peaches blend together with other tropical fruit flavors in a lovely medley, but peach is definitely the star! The flavor is a little light, so be generous with your scoops.

Even while hot, this blend is reminiscent of a sweet tropical cocktail. It'd be great as an iced tea, or as an addition to any other tea (hint: all of them) that might need a peachy punch!

A nice tea, although I think it would be better iced!

I love herbal fruit teas! I was a little worried with this one as I am not a huge peach fan. I was VERY PLEASANTLY surprised. The smell was lovely without being overwhelming. The flavor was a light refreshing flavor. Peach is there, but not the only dominant flavor. I really enjoyed this tea!

I got nothing but apple bits in mine, so it was pretty weak, like watered down apple juice someone dipped a peach in. Although if it were stronger, it'd probably be very good.

My CommuniTea packet was a little shy, so I made 4oz of tea. Have this iced...it really brings out the peach flavor. I also think this would be a nice addition to a blend...maybe a green tea. This is definitely worth a sample to try and have on hand to play with blending.

This is a favorite of mine and one of the first teas I tried from Adagio. I love that this tea contains mainly fruit with a few rose petals for a hint of floral. I love the luscious peachiness of this tea. Peach scent is strong from the start from the dry ingredients along with papaya and rose. When I take sip, I get more peaches and strawberry. The bright fruitiness lingers long on the palate. I typically use two teaspoons per cup instead of the recommended one. I love this tea during the warmer months of the year. (5 mins @212° F)

Wonderful light peach taste --- so relaxing! Love it!

2/20/21 - I still love this tea! My CommuniTea packet was mostly apple pieces, but I love the warm apple taste with a hint of peach. Just a relaxing cup of fruity goodness. mmmm. Very tummy warming on this cold Feb morning!

I’m pleasantly surprised just how much I’m enjoying this tea. I expected it to be too sweet but it’s perfect. Strong peach smell makes me think of summer and the fruity taste is a reminder that spring is just around the corner

Good peach flavor! I had it hot on this cold morning, but this would be great as an iced tea during the summer.

the scent is full and strong in the pouch but the taste of the tea after steeping is underwhelming. I can't taste the peach alot in the herbal some other people might like this CommuniTEA sample though.

This smells absolutely divine! However, when hot the flavors aren't as bold as I thought they'd be, which made me sad. So, I'd hoped they'd ramp up a bit as it cooled. This struck me as a tea that would make a perfect iced tea. I was correct. As this cooled the fruit flavors came through, and this not only smells divine, it tastes divine as well! Faving this one to save for making summertime iced tea!

2/8/21:

This was pretty good, very peachy. Light (watery) flavor overall even after steeping for 10 minutes. I tried it hot but will definitely also try it iced. I can usually get away with using a teaspoon of tea for up to 16 oz of water, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend that with this tea. I’ll probably use about 3 teaspoons for 16 ounces next time because I really want to taste the fruit. I imagine this would be awesome to blend with other teas.

2/20/21 CommuniTea Update:

My packet had plenty of tea, a full teaspoon. But based on my last experience I added more from my own sample packet, 3 tsp total. Steeped 10 min again. It tastes completely different from last time, more flavorful in general but less peachy. Definitely more apple than anything, don’t taste strawberry or mango specifically, but it has a mixture of fruits, and peach is not the star. I will definitely still try this iced, and likely try it in a mixture, but I got this sample looking for an intense peachy tea and I have found others that fit that bill better.

wouldn’t swear on it, but I think everybody was present and ready to go in my communiTEA packet this morning. I had two whole teaspoons of ingredients (3 grams), enough for a 12 ounce steep. A few strawberry bits, one orange peel and a thin strip of pineapple were noted. They were preparing for a fruit showdown with a gaggle of apple pieces and other fruits. Moderate peach aromas were noted.

I performed a typical tisane steep at 212°F. I wanted to make sure that I pulled-out as many flavors as possible, so I let my brew steep for eight minutes.

When hot, peach flavors were mild. Other fruit flavors were noted in the background. I added one-quarter teaspoon of sugar to intensify all flavors.

When hot, the sprayed-on peach flavorings sealed the deal. Moderate peach flavors had won the showdown by a stems length! Mild pineapple and apple flavors tied for second place. Other tropical fruit flavors were hanging around at the end of the pack.

This blend may have looked weak, but it packed a pretty good tropical punch of peach and tropical fruit flavors. It was a very smooth multi-layered, pleasant and worthy drink indeed. I suspect it would make a great iced tea. Everybody was tired at the end, including me, so a second steep was not performed. (8 mins @ 212ºF, ¼ tsp sugar)

The tea is fruity without being sour or sharp. The taste is pleasant, but the flavor is just too weak, even after leaving the steep in the cup while drinking.

Peach Bellini Tea was vey easy to drink, full of fruit flavor. My sample packet portion seemed small and mostly like apple pieces and very little else. But, I am sure in a regular non-sample size it would be better. I do like this cool/cold vs. hot. I would buy this again! Very tasty tea!.

It smells delicious, but it lacks in flavor. It will not be on my list of teas to buy.

Steeped for 10 min at 212 degrees. Yummy and peachy! My packet was mostly apples but the peach flavor was dominant.

Very light peach flavor when hot, each sip brings a different tropical fruit to mind. This is a tea whose true deliciousness shows up when iced. Steep @ 212 for at least 5 min. to develop the full peach flavor.

The tea has been a favorite iced for quite some time, although when I received it from my community tea packet it wasn’t quite right.

From the time I opened the package to when I took my first sip I was thinking of warm weather and sand. It was a flavor from paradise. I let it steep for the 10 minutes being that it was all fruit, and the flavors all came out. Saved some to try on ice.

Tastes mildly of peach after a long steep, sweet without any added sweetener. Prefer iced over hot.

This had a really lovely, soft peachy flavor when hot, and I suspect it would be even better iced. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of flavor since usually, I experience a lot less flavor when peach is involved because it's such a light flavor. This was really good!

Today’s communiTea was a peach Bellini. I did an overnight, cold steep, for this tea. (Note, packet skimpy on my ingredients so only used 6oz water) As I sipped, hints of ripe peaches, and Hmmm mangos creating a very delicate, lightly sweet tea. I liked it a lot. Reminded me of my grandma’s lightly sweetened, canned peaches but in a tall glass of tea, only thing missing a splash of Prosecco. I did not try this hot, enjoyed iced even added a tiny pink umbrella, while sipping this on a cold winter morning! (Overnight cold steep, 6oz water)

I’m not a big fan of peach teas. I made it iced because I prefer teas like this that way. Peach lovers will really enjoy this.. for me it was just ok.

I love peach Bellini tea! I find that the recommended ratio of tea to serving size is too weak for me and using more than the recommended amount makes for a stronger peach flavor. This one also cold brews in the fridge very well.

Wow! As a hot tea, this really sparkles just like a peach Bellini, it goes down sweet and wonderful with a very light mouthfeel. The tea looks like apple pieces, smells like peaches, and brews a very pale liquor. It is worth taking the extra time to brew because then the taste is phenomenal. I've liked all of Adagio's peach teas so far, but this is just crisp and refreshing, a world away from the earthy and light flavored peach rooibos. A rebrew does not disappoint, but should go for 10 minutes or longer. Over ice, this tea has even more peachy flavor and sparkly tartness. As much as I like it on its own, I imagine it would go wonderfully with a sweet white tea, and I can't wait to get blending.

My CommuniTEA packet had a small portion of all apple pieces and maybe an orange peel. When steeped with boiling water for 10 minutes, the flavor is light with the same peachiness as White Peach but a bit stronger. As I expected, the resteep had no flavor. This tea is nice and I might buy a sample bag of it to see how a full teaspoon portion would brew.

As I sit here in Northern Maine during a sleet storm this is like drinking a taste of summer. I will definitely try the ice tea version of this. The peach flavor really comes through. I find I don't bother with straining the tea after seeping as the bits and pieces are also good tasting
