This is the one we show people when they ask for a fruit tea with something going on in it. They expect the peach, and then the ginger turns up and changes what they thought they were buying. It also makes an excellent iced tea, and that's where the ginger really earns its place: it gives the glass a little teeth, which is not what anybody expects from an iced tea.

If Peaches and Ginger has you in the stone fruit lane, Apricots and Peaches Black Tea is the softer, sweeter version without the ginger. And if you want that same peach note somewhere more delicate and complex, Peachy Keen Oolong is the one to try next.

  • How to brew it hot

    Use 1 teaspoon per 8 oz. Steep at 212°F for 3-5 minutes. A full boil gets the most out of the ginger.

  • How to make iced tea

    Use 2 teaspoons per 8 oz. Steep at 212°F for 3-5 minutes, then pour over a full glass of ice. Double strength keeps the ice from watering it down.

  • How to cold brew

    Use 1.5 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of filtered water.
    Steep in your fridge for 8 to 12 hours.
    Strain out the leaves and enjoy!
    A long cold steep gives you a smoother cup.

Beyond the Cup: Make Something Tasty with This Peaches and Ginger Tea

Peaches and Ginger Poached Pears

Serves 4

Tender pears gently simmered in a fragrant Peaches and Ginger tea syrup, finished with a light drizzle of the infused liquid.

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe but firm pears (like Bosc or Anjou)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup Peaches and Ginger tea leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (to amplify the ginger already in the blend)
  • 1 small piece of lemon peel

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Infusion: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, honey, ginger, and lemon peel. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Steep the Tea: Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the Peaches and Ginger tea, and let it steep for 10 minutes.
  3. Strain: Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the tea leaves, petals, and ginger. Return the infused liquid to the saucepan.
  4. Poach: Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact. Place them carefully into the saucepan with the infused liquid. The liquid should mostly cover the pears.
  5. Simmer: Bring the liquid to a very gentle simmer over low heat. Cover and poach for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a knife.
  6. Reduce (Optional): Once the pears are done, remove them and set them aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the poaching liquid for 10 more minutes until it thickens into a light, fragrant syrup.
  7. Serve: Serve the pears warm or chilled, drizzled with the tea-infused syrup.
