Peach Oolong Tea
Our Peach Oolong Tea is a fruity oolong tea built on a dark, toasted Taiwanese oolong. The leaf is blended with natural peach flavor, apple and peach pieces and marigold petals for a cup that’s softly fruity rather than candy-sweet.
Expect honeyed florals, gentle nuttiness and a light peach finish. This peach oolong loose leaf tea is lovely hot and makes an especially refreshing peach iced tea. The leaves hold up to a second steep, so one bag goes a long way.
Use 1.5 teaspoons (about 3g) per 8 oz of water.
Heat fresh water to 212°F.
Steep for 5–7 minutes, then strain.
Re-steep the leaves once more, adding a little extra time to the second infusion.
We wanted a fruit tea that still tasted like tea. This one starts with enough depth to hold its own: the darker oolong brings honey, florals and a little nuttiness, while peach brightens the cup without turning it syrupy-sweet. It’s one of those rare teas we like just as much hot as we do poured over ice.
If you’ve had Peach Oolong at an Aurelia event, this is the loose leaf behind the cup. Brew it simply at home or pour it over ice the way we love to serve it.
