Description

We dare you to think of a fruit combination that sounds juicier, more delicious, or more sumptuous than peach apricot. In China, archaeologists have discovered evidence of people enjoying apricots and peaches together at least 4000 years ago. From those ancient times, both fruits eventually made their way westward in the form of cuttings and seedlings, traveling via Persia to the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Spain. In Italy, both fruits flourished and rose in such popularity that they became noted favorites of various rulers of the Roman Empire.

So what makes the fruits go so well together? The key is in their delicate, intensely sweet flavor profiles. The characters of both fruits together blend into a harmonious explosion of fruity goodness. And what makes them blend so well with a high grown Ceylon tea? The answer to that question is the natural acidity, and astringent qualities of
both. Try a cup for yourself, hot or iced, and discover what makes this one of our most special flavored teas. Peach and apricot – 4000 years of history can’t be wrong!
