Peach black tea
Peach Black Tea is a Chinese black tea with a natural peach-like aroma and flavour. There's no added fruit or flavouring — the peachy character comes from the Golden Peony cultivar and how the leaves are processed. It's one of those teas that surprises people when they learn there's nothing in the packet except tea leaves.
The taste is light and fruity, with notes of peach, rose, and honeydew melon. It's sweet without being sugary, and it brews up clean with no bitterness. One of our customers described it well: "peachy without being too heavy or overly sweet" — and it works just as well as an iced tea in summer as it does hot.
If you're used to commercial peach-flavoured teas, this is quite different. Those tend to use artificial peach flavouring added to a base tea. This one gets its character naturally from the cultivar and the way the leaves are oxidised. The result is subtler and more layered.

About naturally scented teas
Several Chinese tea cultivars produce natural fruit or floral aromas without any added ingredients. The Golden Peony cultivar used in this tea is one example. The aroma develops during oxidation and varies with each harvest. See our black tea collection for more options from Fujian and Yunnan.
Joanne's tip
I keep a batch of this cold-brewed in the fridge during summer — it makes a naturally sweet iced tea without needing any sweetener. It's also a good tea for people who are curious about loose-leaf but find straight black tea too plain. The peach aroma catches your attention, and the tea itself is very easy to brew.

from 137 reviewsI’m really enjoying this tea. Very smooth, an incredible tea to taste. Highly recommend. Will definitely repurchase and continue to try other teas you recommend. Thankyou
This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks
This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
I love smokiness in most things so when I saw this Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked I grabbed a sample to try and I was blown away.
From the moment you open the packet the aroma of the smokiness hits front and centre.
With smallish leaves I eagerly brewed up. I was presented with a beautiful full amber liquid and the smoke hitting my nose was welcoming.
The only way I can describe this tea is it brings back memories of camping down by the creek on our farm burning pine cones. It’s like a warm hug being able to taste the smell. It reminds me of the smokiness in your clothes once you walk away from that fire.
Full bodied and lovely mouth feel.
I want to write this because I am genuinely impressed with the service I received.
I had an issue with one of the teas I purchased and I emailed A Moment of Tea about it. That morning I received a email back from Zachary profusely apologising about the mishap. In the email Zachary thanked me for the email because they actually found an issue in the OS supplier and worked towards a solution with them that day.
Zachary took the time to explain to me the process as to how this tea was produced and why the issue occurred and what’s happening to fix the issue.
To say the least I was blown away and again would like to thank Zachary for the communication through email. I highly highly recommend anyone with a Chinese Tea love to purchase from here as the teas I have tried so far are top notch. Tea reviews coming.
Jasmine Dragon Pearls / Buddhas Tears - Very subtle Jasmine comes through.
Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked - It’s like getting a hug from the camp fire on your camping trip. Immediately bought back memories of camping and having that smokey smell through your clothes (my favourite atm)
Shou Mei White Tea - very refreshing and bright white tea
So delicious, and a nice touch
I am very impressed with both the service and products. This is my first time I have ordered anything, and will definitely be returning. Many thanks, and congratulations.
I'm very happy with the samples sizes in the Sampler pack, as it enables me to share cups with friends and family to find out what their particular preferences are. Many thanks.
Purchased these at a market on holidays in Tassie several years ago, having been ordering ever since! My whole family love the dragon pearls, beautiful green tea and pretty to watch open up.
Mandarin Pu-erh Post-fermented Tea
