I am a firm believer that a person’s atmosphere can make or break any experience. In this case, the atmosphere in which I tried ginger peach tea only added to the heartwarming fee
ling I got with every sip. Understanding that this is a tea blog, I want to talk mainly about the tea itself but as I said before, I could not have asked for a more relaxing and warm atmosphere. The live music by an aspiring artist (aka’d as Gabe Wright) was soothing, the waitresses were especially helpful in assisting with decision making, and it seems as if the smiles and laughter were contagious and inextinguishable.
At first I was a little hesitant to order the Ginger Peach even though the title itself is so inviting. This is because I’ve always been rather skeptical of artificial fruit flavors. I needed reassurance to make my decision and the waitress as well as close friend of the group’s, Emma Webster, convinced me to go with the Ginger Peach.
When the tea came out, we were each given individual thermal pots as well as cute little strainers. I thoroughly enjoyed using the strainer while pouring the tea, anxious to try the first cup. The smell alone was enough to give me assurance that I had made the right choice. The peach flavor was the most evident but not too intruding. I was very thrilled with my pick of the night. In fact, although I try not to order the same tea twice, I may have to reconsider this rule and spend another visit sipping on the ginger peach tea sometime very soon. With the being said, I encourage all of you tea drinkers to always try new flavors and classes of teas. Never shy away from an opportunity to explore the possibilities. Who knows, the new and unknown could soon become the comforting and familiar.

Ms. Herberno, you have moved me to tears. I can't even tell if this is a tea review or a beautiful Shakespearean sonnet - perhaps both. The descriptions managed to be flowingly poetic without sacrificing accuracy or precision, and this review has left me with a burning desire to try Ginger Peach tea as soon as humanly possible.
ReplyDeleteI can only hope that the other members of Herbatki (ahem, Herbata-lovers...) can live up to the high critical standards you have established in this review.
Now if you'll excuse me, I can't wait any longer - I must get my hands on some Ginger Peach tea NOW!
Your fellow tea connoisseur,
Herbert T. Liptonchai
