Description

In the famous poem 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock', T.S. Eliot wrote, 'do I dare to eat a peach?' The literary-minded folks at Adagio have taken it upon themselves to provide Mr. Eliot with an answer: no need to eat one. Just steep a cup of our premium Formosa oolong tea flavored with sweet peaches. Please, be a peach. Give this tea a try.

Story

Cultivation of peaches began in China as early as 2000BC. A Chinese bride was referred to as a peach, due to the seeming likeness between a peach and female genitalia. The winds of trade brought peaches to Greece and Persia, where they were instantly accepted. The juicy fruit was also a big hit with the Romans, who cultivated it throughout the empire. From Italy, peaches made the leap across the Atlantic, where early settlers planted them throughout the east coast. Soon they were so plentiful, local botanists though of them as native fruits.

"A good flavored oolong, but not my favorite one (that would be the grapefruit oolong). This one tastes good iced, but the peachiness could be just a tiny bit stronger for my taste. Definitely not a bad tea, though."

"This is a little different flavor, but I enjoyed it. I want to try it as iced tea. This is the first oolong that I have tried."

"This one is pretty boring by itself, but rocks with added fruity flavor from an herbal blend or something like white peach. "
