    $6.99

    A blend of peach and fruit flavors, Peach Paradise is a fruity, smooth, aromatic and sweet herbal blend that brews a pretty ruby peach color. Perfect year round; definitely delicious served as a hot beverage, and very refreshing as an iced tea. A thirst-quenching summertime cooler or a warming wintertime summer reminder. No caffeine. Ingredients: orange peel, hibiscus, elderberries, rosehips, apple pieces, natural flavors, wild cherry bark, peaches. Note: hibiscus can be intercropped alongside peanuts so tea may contain peanut fragments/shells. Packaged as a loose leaf tea, 4 ounces makes about 38 cups. 

    Brew: 1 heaping teaspoon (4 grams) Peach Paradise tea in 10-12 ounces of boiling water, 212* F, for 5 minutes. For iced tea brew 5 grams Peach Paradise tea in 10-12 ounces of boiling water, 212* F, for 5 minutes and pour over a glass filled with ice. 


    Peach Paradise Cooler

    1 cup brewed Peach Paradise Herbal Tea, cooled
    1 cup gingerale (regular or diet)
    1 peach cut into thin wedges
    fresh mint sprigs for garnish

    Fill two tall glasses with ice. Drop 2 peach wedges into each glass while adding the ice, 1 wedge near the bottom of the glass, the other wedge when the glass is about half full of ice. Pour 1/2 cup cooled Peach Paradise tea into each glass. Pour 1/2 cup gingerale into each glass and stir gently. Garnish each glass with a peach wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.  Serves 2

    Variation on a theme: To turn your Peach Paradise Cooler into a cocktail, along with the Peach Paradise tea and gingerale, add 1 shot of bourbon to each glass and stir gently.

    Serving a crowd: Multiply up the ingredients. Combine the cooled Peach Paradise tea, gingerale, bourbon (optional) and sliced peaches in a pitcher. Stir gently. Serve in glasses filled with ice, garnished with a peach wedge and a sprig of mint.
