Peach Garden Black

This non-assuming and easy-to-brew black tea is a great daily drinker for those that like the Taiwanese Black Tea Genre. Simple, forgiving and richly familiar, it is a great example of the smooth, sweet and soft red fruit malt with a touch of floral notes that Taiwanese black teas are so famous for. And at this price, it is one of the best value teas we have ever offered. (Along with its sister tea Peach Garden Milk Baozhong)

We found this tea at a simple and unassuming multi-generational tea garden in Taoyuan on the border of more famous tea regions. The cheap cost comes from the fact that this place is anti-famous and most tea grown in the area is low quality agrochemical slathered slop produced for the beverage industry. The teas produced at this garden are clean, humbly solid and 'standard', which makes them a great choice for value and a consistent 'daily drinker' type of experience. We are happy to have found this garden and be able to share clean teas at this price point.
