"Straight up peach, vanilla, and rooibos with nothing else to muck it up." Shelly’s Teaview: 10/10 Your Reviews: Add your review »

I found a thread in the Teaviews forum by Lea. She mentioned that she created some blends for Adagio Teas. I glanced by it until I saw that she mentioned pineapple upside-down cake tea. So I decided to check out her blends on the Adagio website, fully intending to try the pineapple upside-down cake. Then I saw it: A peaches-n-cream rooibos blend she created. I fully admit I am obsessed with drinking flavored rooibos in the evenings. It’s caffeine-free and goes well with any flavor. I mean any flavor. But peach and vanilla? I was instantly intrigued. I ordered it immediately. My only worry was that it may have a hibiscus element to it. It doesn’t. Near as I can tell, it’s straight up peach, vanilla, and rooibos with nothing else to muck it up.

The fragrance of this tea is like gummy peach candy. It smells so sweet and delicious with a slight woodsy undertone thanks to the rooibos. I don’t smell much vanilla, but then again I’m focused on the peach. The dry blend looks like a typical rooibos with small red shreds and no large particles. It brews up into an extra red colored “red tea”.

The taste is somewhat surprising. I expected a candy like peach taste based on the smell. It is more complex than I imagined. The rooibos dominates the palate followed by the vanilla. The peach arrives in a pleasant punch of flavor at the end and lingers. It is very silky and refreshing.

My father, who calls most of my tea “weird” and will only drink Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla Red, really liked this tea as well. So that is a big thumbs up as far as I’m concerned. I drank a whole pot myself in one evening!

This tea is a 10/10 due to taste, smell, and creativity! Thanks Lea!
