This is a very respectable blend of fruit flavors and white tea along with rooibos. The latter ingredient is probably why it is not really a five star sip for me, but I am often ambivalent about this herbal alternative. I would prehaps prefer the green variety in its place.
2022 communiTEA: It’s difficult to rate today’s tea for a few reasons. I chose a disposable paper teabag and purposely oversteeped, keeping the tea in my cup to eke as much flavor out as possible, and sipped this mostly warm. My portion contained little rooibos and no hibiscus. The resulting flavor was therefore closer to white peach but for a bit of orange. Overall that’s a perfectly fine cup of tea, though maybe not the balance intended for this blend. Should I purchase a sample I might cold brew instead and update accordingly.
I know it says best iced, but I drank this hot today, and it was soooo good. Even went for a second steeping. I seriously love all the mocktail teas - perfect for when you want to get your day drinking on (without all the pesky side effects)!
Today's CommuniTea packet is fuzzy naval with white and rooibos tea, apple and mango pieces, orange, hibiscus, peach and orange flavors and marigolds. I really like white tea, not so much rooibos, but I find it a bit more palatable when cold brewed. I love contrasting colors, which this tea supplies, and it smells very fruity in the packet. I didn't find it as fruity when steeped. If you find yourself sipping this saying, it's okay, but what is it I'm tasting?, it's probably the rooibos. :-) Cold brewed in 12 ounces of water in a finum infuser for about 10 hours.
Nice peachy taste with something that did feel a little like the taste of alcohol to me. Been a while since I had a Fuzzy Navel but this tea did evoke what I recall of the flavor. I was very pleased with the amount of fruit taste in this one - often with white teas I find the fruit to be weak, but not in this case.
I kind of expected more from this one. Was excited to try it. Had to sweeten to bring out some of the peach flavor. The other flavors were faint. Maybe next time I will try it iced.
Update 6/ 22/22 I cold brewed again on a really hot day. It was very peachy and enjoyable. Added an orange sauce and slurped it down.
The smell from the packet was very peachy. I cold brewed over night and drank this iced. There was a mild peach forward flavor and hard a hard time finding the orange. I didn't taste rooibos at all. This was enjoyable to drink but a little too light for me.
not bad! chilled its really tasty, but i do wish the flavors stood out more. the peach flavor wasnt as strong as i wouldve hoped, maybe it was just the distribution of flavors in my packet
This is a nice light white tea. The flavors are subtle but delicious. Very refreshing cold brewed!
I made this tea hot, brewed it at 180 and steeped for 3 minutes. It was an okay tea but it just didn’t have much flavor. If I had it again, I think I would cold brew it with less water than usual for a longer time in the hopes of bringing out more of the flavors.
CommuniTEA Review: I cold brewed my sample and really enjoyed it. My packet was very peach forward, which was pleasing to me because I love peach teas. Sadly, I didn’t taste much orange.
Delightful and refreshing peachy flavor. This was excellent iced with agave.
It smells like peaches. It tastes ok with more rooibos than I’d like.
When cold brewed, fruit flavors are weak with very mild white tea and rooibos flavors on the aftertaste. Brewed hot, rooibos takes over. I can see how the rooibos brings a mocktail vibe to this tea, which isn't my thing, but was surprisingly on the mark. If fruit flavors were stronger, this one might be just as advertised.
This tea remains one of my all time Adagio Tea Favorites. I especially enjoy the light fruity taste. A refreshing summer delight.
A very delightful refreshing. Cuppa during the heat of the summer. I have not iced this yet but have let it reach room temperature to add a coolness to my tea time. The fresh taste remained enjoyable.
The peach flavours are really strong here, a bit overwhelmingly so, I prefer a more subtle and gentle flavour. It does taste better iced, but I think I like some of the other peach-flavoured teas here better (like white peach for example)
nice lite tea. easy sipping for the afternoon. the peach and orange were lite but delightful.
Really enjoyed this one, especially when it cooled down into being warm. The peach flavour really shines then, with everything else as a pleasant backdrop to support. As always, a touch of blue agave helps to boost it. Did make me think of that pleasant bite into peach skin.
A delicate, light tea with strong peach flavor and just a hint of orange. Adding a little sweetener brought out the fruit more and definitely better iced.
A white tea blend that tastes primarily of rooibos with mild fruit flavors.
CommuniTEA portion: Cold brewed overnight. Very light refreshing tea but not much more than some subtle peach on my tatsebuds. Would like to try this again and cold brew for a while longer. Pretty color.
Found this tea to be crisp and sweet and refreshing, with the flavors of orange and peach both presenting themselves exuberantly. A couple as well balanced and flavorful from beginning to end. Very nice blend.
CommunitTEA: Tea has a nice flavor. Orange and Peach were subtle. Not sure where a low caffeine tea fits in my life.
Lighter white tea blends are starting to grow on me, and I think this one is my favorite so far. I love anything peach and this one cold brewed overnight with a little sugar was delicious!
Immediately made into an iced tea. The bright citrus and peach smell was rewarded and got exactly was was advertised - a bright orange start with fuzzy sweet peach aftertones. Refreshing splash of summer in every sip.
This is my first time tasting an orange / peach tea blend and I am impressed with the flavor combo! I decided to brew this overnight cold brew style. The peach is the prominent flavor with mango and orange aftertaste. A very refreshing summer blend.
Nice delicate tea with a delicious fruity flavor! The peach and mango blend nicely. I usually don't like peach flavored teas but this one surprised me!
Enjoying this CommuniTEA Packet Iced (after a brew of 195 for 4 minutes, which is a higher temp degree than recommended, but I just did that anyway..) I loved the aroma, upon opening the packet! This was a beautiful morning Iced Tea cup for me, that I enjoyed immensely & I plan to order and enjoy again & again, this summer! 🍑🫖🍵
This tea wasn't bad, but it was just meh for me. Every time I try it, I hope to get really good peach AND orange flavors, but all I taste is peach. It is not bad for peach flavored tea, but it doesn't seem different or special from regular white peach... except as it cools I start getting a hint of rooibos, which immediately takes it down a notch for me.
I adore this tea. I cold brewed it and fell in love with the flavor. I will for sure be getting this tea again.
I brewed it strong then iced it down. It tasted similar to a peach ballini. Peach and orange flavors were present and I sweetened it up a bit with some sugar. I did get the slight bitterness from the rooibos but not so bad that it was medicinal. Not my favorite but not too bad as a fruity light iced drink.
Going to the club!
Ready to dance all night long
What to drink, I know!
A fuzzy navel!
Peachy and sweet, cold and cool,
Back to the dance floor!
This tea makes me dance!
Reminiscent of the drink,
Only safe for work!
(Haiku Review)
I've never had a fuzzy navel so I have nothing to compare to, but I do like this tea. There are great peach, orange and vanilla flavors. Peach is the strongest in the beginning and then orange takes over midway through the cup. I sure it would taste great iced as others mentioned. (180F for 3min)
It's a nice light, fruity tea for the summer months!
Add some sparkling water and you have a great mocktail. Only concern is I got a little heartburn from this tea.
I got a good amount of this tea as a reward so I am happy to have it come up in the CT so I can review it. This tea is a perfect blend of white and rooibos teas with peach and orange. It needs just a little agave to bring out the fruit flavors. It also is low caffeine so I am able to drink it after dinner with no danger of being kept awake. I steeped at 175 degrees for 4 minutes. I’m looking forward to cold brewing this.
Fuzzy Navel
Recommended Steep: 3 minutes @ 180°F
My sample came in the June communiTEA box. I steeped for 3 minutes @ 185°F, since I don’t have a 180°F setting on my teapot, in approximately 11 oz of water with 1 tsp of rock/tea sugar.
I came to this blend with some trepidation since I haven’t had much luck with the lighter teas, but I promised myself that I would keep an open mind since I do tend to like white teas joined with certain fruit flavors, most notably pear. A lovely aroma made itself apparent upon opening the packet, a subtle, rather moderate mixture of peach and orange.
The tea tastes well hot, with a mild subtle flavor. It becomes a nice, sweet tea as it cools. I think this would be very good cold/cool. I ended up with a little stomach ache once finished, but I think that was because of what I chose to eat with the tea. I’d be willing to try it again to know for sure. Nice, pleasant blend. 3.75 stars.
The first time I tried this tea I believe I was at the Chicago location and fell in instant love. They had it hot, which was great on a chilly day. Eventually I tried it iced for a flavor explosion peach. It’s safe to say I became obsessed, although I was never a huge peach fan. As my taste began to change I realize it was not quite a five star tea for me, but it is still a favorite flavored tea.
UPDATED from 7/15/21:
What a delicious orange/peach flavor as I open the CommuniTEA packet. It steeps into a light golden yellow color. It is good hot, but sooo much better cold, as an ice tea. Adding ¼ sweetener (to 10 oz) really brings out the orange and peachy flavors. I first tried this back in July 2020 as a CommuniTEA member, and have enjoyed it ever since. It is honestly a very good ice tea. How fun it will be to chill it for an evening adult beverage and add a shot of vodka. It is still far less calories than the original mixed drink! (3 mins @ 180°F)
Mild white tea with a pleasant flavor. It was a nice blend but I couldn’t really pick any flavors out.
This is one of my favorite teas to cold steep. Peachy and bright, but not overpowering the white tea
This is such a fun tea. I love using this tea during the summer months to make ice tea.
Delightful! Great hot or iced, sweetened or not. We sipped it slow to appreciate the complex palate of fruit flavors and smooth mild tea!
This tea has a peach flavor riding on a smooth wave of delicate white tea.
Light and delicious. Reminds me of a warm summer night!
It was okay, not very flavorful, was hoping for more orange flavor.
The flavor is a little light in this one but it’s still a pleasant cup of tea.
Updating my original review after 10 months:
Hadn’t had this tea since on or near they day it arrived back in January because I wasn’t thrilled with it, but decided try give it another go. It tasted terrible! Like the fruit may have gone bad or something. It was never very peachy, but I literally dumped the cup - twice even because I wanted to make sure I didn’t oversteep. The dry leaves don’t smell great either. I’m not planning on buying this one again. It wasn’t fabulous to begin with, but the shelf life seems quite poor.
Original Review from 1/14/21 (4 stars):
I was hoping this tea would have a stronger peach flavor. It’s nice but I prefer the peach oolong.
Very pleasant, light peach flavor, especially good cold. @adagioteas
The fruit flavors were pretty mild. Tasted better cold than hot.
