Scent wise, this is very peachful and sweet with vanilla. The dry tea itself is not as beautiful as many other flavoured greens from Lupicia – there’s the occasional petal, but I see no trace of the cornflower and there are no discernible pieces of fruit.
Peach and vanilla with floral notes is everything I love in a cup – so it’s a shame the flavour is so subtle. The first sip, to me, is gorgeous, but my palate familiarizes itself with the main taste notes so quickly, it turns just a little bit too bland a little bit too fast.
Still, when I want a mellow, vanilla-infused peach, this is good tea.
