The kiwi is what caught my attention in this tea blend. I don’t believe I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting a kiwi flavored tea; although I’ve tasted many peach flavored teas, the kiwi lent a special twist to the peach green tea.
This tea brews up a light yellow color and has a soft tropical aroma and flavor. It’s very light and smooth, and quite delicious, especially for a tropically flavored tea. The kiwi flavor is light and fresh, with a barely-there-yet-noticeable taste. The peach is perhaps a bit more prominent; however, the two flavors marry well and play over your palate.
Zhena’s Gypsy Tea describes this tea as:

So this tea is good for you and good for the earth too. I think that proper farming methods that don’t utilize pesticides, such as this one, produce a tea which tastes better overall and is fresher and more aromatic. So even though I don’t normally drink tropical fruit flavored teas, I made an exception for this one, expecting the high quality and good taste that is the norm for Zhena’s Gypsy Teas – and I was pleasantly rewarded with this unique and juicy-tasting Kiwi Peach Green Tea.

"Well, as someone who has tasted a lot of chai tea, I can attest that this really is not very similar in taste to Chai. Chai tends to focus on the spices, whereas this tea’s focus is on the orange, with the spices being very gentle and more of an accent to the orange."

"How fun! I love drinking tea so I love that you have a whole blog related to reviewing them. One brand that I really love that I don’t see on your list is the Portsmouth Tea Company. When I lived in Boston I used to buy lots of their teas and they were oh so unique. They had some really great fruity and floral blends. It’s interesting that..."

"I’m not absolutely certain, but I believe that this is the concentrate that Seattle’s Best coffee shops use to make their matcha latte.

"Steph: Thank you for your information about the naranquilla. I didn’t find the flavor to be very tart at all – which is what I would have expected from the combination of lime and rhubarb. Perhaps the maraschino sweetened it up a bit and made it much more peach-like. It reminded me a bit of candied apricots or peaches."
