Ginger Peach Rooibos

Super sweet, tangy and juicy, the peach is one of summer’s tastiest treats. The natural sweetness of the fruit makes it a perfect addition to our Ginger Peach Rooibos. The inherent slight sweetness of Rooibos is perfectly complimented by that of the peach and creates an herbal tea that is packed with subtle nuances and a complex flavor profile. The sensuous flavor combination of ginger and peach is a true delicacy of India. The two items are most commonly used to flavor chutneys, the spicy jams that accompany most Indian meals. It is from one such chutney, enjoyed by our Master Taster on a trip to India, that we drew our inspiration for the fabulous herbal tea.

After experimenting with various teas to use as a base for this blend, he discovered that the flavor of a mellow rooibos blended with sharp ginger and sweet peach, came the closest to his precious chutney. The rooibos he used is a top-grade variety produced in the Cederberg region of South Africa and is noted to be rich in many essential minerals. Like the chutney that inspired it, one sip of this brew will send you off on a daydream visit to the bazaars of Calcutta, India. With sharp hints of ginger offset by juicy sweet peach overtones, this is one tea you'll never be able to forget. And thankfully, unlike the wares of the mystery chutney merchant, you'll always know where to get more!
