There’s something about the gentle sweetness of peach that feels like sunshine in a cup. While peach tea is often linked with iced drinks, we’re here to celebrate it as a warming, flavourful hot drink - perfect for those breezy spring mornings or relaxing summer evenings when you still fancy a comforting brew.
With peach tea trending, and more tea lovers exploring flavoured tea bags and fruit infusions, now’s the time to make space in your tea drawer for this summertime favourite. Whether you’re a Twinings fan or love discovering new blends, here’s everything you need to know about enjoying peach tea as a hot drink - plus how to add your own citrus twist.
Why Peach Works In Hot Tea
Peach brings a gentle sweetness and soft floral notes that pair beautifully with black tea, green tea, and herbal infusions. When served hot, those delicate flavours shine even more, giving you a brew that’s both comforting and refreshing without overpowering.
The natural fruity warmth makes peach tea feel indulgent but light - ideal for sunny days when you still want the ritual of a good cup.
Heath and Wellness Benefits of Peach Tea
While we’re all for flavour first, peach tea also offers a few feel-good benefits:
- Naturally caffeine-free when blended as an infusion (great for late afternoons or evenings).
- Peach and orange combinations are often rich in vitamin C, supporting immune health.
- Blends with ginger may aid digestion and offer anti-inflammatory properties.
- Adding baobab brings an antioxidant boost and a little extra tang.
Simple Ways to Enjoy Peach Tea This Summer
- Brew your peach tea gently - never boiling the water for green or delicate infusions (80°C works best).
- Add a slice of fresh orange or lemon to brighten the flavour.
- Stir in a touch of honey if you like your tea a little sweeter (but peach on its own is often enough).
- Try peach tea as your after-dinner wind-down instead of dessert - it’s a light, satisfying way to end the day.
