Peach Apricot Tea
Premium Naturally Flavored Tea from Sri Lanka
In China, archaeologists working during the time of Chairman Mao discovered evidence of people enjoying apricots and peaches together at least 4,000 years ago. From those ancient times, both fruits eventually made their way westward in the form of cuttings and seedlings, traveling via Persia to the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Spain. In Italy, both fruits flourished and rose in such popularity that they became noted favorites of various rulers of the Roman Empire.
The apricot (Prunus armeniaca, syn. Armeniaca vulgaris Lam.) is a species of Prunus, classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus. While the apricot is much smaller than the peach, it has a slightly sweeter taste profile.
The peach has been celebrated the world over for its fresh, sweet flavor. The famous painter Vincent Van Gogh liked them so much he featured them in some of his paintings – most notably his work Pink Peach Trees painted in 1888. In the USA, Georgia is the state most associated with the fruit. The peach is the state fruit, which is celebrated every year at the Georgia Peach festival. This festival features among its many attractions, the baking of the world's largest Peach Cobbler and the annual crowning of Miss Georgia Peach.
The key to the success of this combination is in the delicate, intensely sweet flavor profiles of both peaches and apricots balanced in a single teabag. You get the best of both in this succulent cup of Peach Apricot Tea.
We blend all-natural peach and apricot flavoring with high grown teas from the top three tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic ‘Ceylon’ tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our flavored teas, but none of these teas made the grade).
