Peach Tea

This "pure Ceylon tea" is made by Bentley's Finest.

Flavor:  The initial taste of this tea is somewhat sour, with a green herby taste, and without any bitterness of the caffeine from the tea.  The smell of peach is stronger than the taste of peach.  Its not a very pleasant tea on its own.  I would definitely recommend a sweetener.

Suggested Additions:  Because this tea is so light on the taste of the peach, I can't recommend adding lemon to it, because it would completely overpower the delicate flavor.  Today, to mix things up a little, I went with raw sugar.  I feel that the raw sugar adds to the delicate flavor in addition to making it a bit sweeter.  I don't think honey or agave nectar are quite delicate enough to be added to this tea.  If you don't have raw sugar, white would make it sweeter, without adding to the flavor at all.

Ingredients:  There are none listed on the bag, or in the fancy tea caddy that came as a Christmas gift.  A search online for Bentley's tea revealed that it might be a sub-company of the Boston Tea Company, but I could not find an ingredients list.  It tastes like it might be green or white tea, but I can't be sure.

Purpose:  I don't see a reason to drink this tea.  It may provide caffeine, but since I don't know the ingredients, I don't know how much caffeine I'm getting.  The flavor, toward the end of the cup, finally reaches a full peach flavor, but that is only if you leave the bag in the water the whole time.  Most people take the bag out before the end of the cup.
