My introduction to Ohtea began with their White Peach Oolong tea, a spur-of-the-moment purchase I made at a quaint little store in Honolulu. At first glance, the concept seemed a bit gimmicky, but the intriguing flavor combination was what ultimately convinced me to give it a try. I must say, I'm glad I did.
The highlight of this tea was undoubtedly the freeze-dried peach pieces that came to life when brewed. It was not only a visually captivating experience but also added a genuine and delightful peachy aroma to the tea. Initially, I found it quite sweet for my taste buds, but a simple remedy was to dilute it with more water, and that balanced out the sweetness perfectly.
What I appreciated about this tea was the versatility it offered. If you prefer your tea on the sweeter side, it's a fantastic option. Plus, it opens up the possibility of creating delightful southern-style iced teas using this as a base.
I did notice some reviews on the Ohtea website mentioning the sweetness, which might not be to everyone's liking. If you're looking for something less sweet, I'd recommend trying their Passionfruit flavor, which I've heard is spot on.
In conclusion, my initial foray into Ohtea with their White Peach Oolong tea was a pleasant surprise. Despite the initial sweetness, it's a tea that can easily be adjusted to suit your preference and offers a unique tea experience with its real freeze-dried peach pieces. If you enjoy sweet teas and innovative flavor combinations, this one is worth a try.
