| Peach Apricot Black Tea A flavorful and tasty combination of mellow peaches with deep, full flavored apricots that makes a fantastic iced tea. The
scientific name for the domestic peach is prunus persica. The name
prunus is a genus that includes some of the beloved treas and shrubs
such as plums, apricots, and peaches which contain a large nut inside
its core. Most stone fruits are indigenous to warm climates and produce
fruit from June through September. Peaches were originally cultivated in
China some 4000 years ago and were later introduced into India and
Persia (now Iran), then Japan and Europe. Both South Carolina and
Georgia declared the peach as their official fruit. The Chinese
considered the peach as a sign of long life and immortality. Apricots on
the other hand, while originating in mainland Asia, were introduced
into Europe where hardier strains were developed. The apricot is
generally sweet, aromatic and flavorful a perfect partner for the peach.
High
quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural
taste of the high grown Ceylon tea. (The norm for many making flavored
tea is to use overpowering artificial flavors which can be used to hide
lower quality tea). Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste giving
the tea a clean and true character. It should be noted that natural
flavors tend to be somewhat soft and the flavors slightly muted, but for
many this is a refreshing change and one of the desired attributes of
these naturally flavored teas. |
