Peaches are from a deciduous tree that is native to China. Cultivation spread throughout the world and today major supplies of peaches come from America, China, India, Italy and Greece. Peaches and peach trees symbolize many things to the people from where they originated. In China, peaches are considered a symbol of long life, in Korea they are considered symbols for happiness, wealth and longevity and in Vietnam peaches herald Spring and symbolize peace and happiness.
Peaches have a delicate, intoxicating aroma and a heavenly taste, and this blend of black teas with peach flavor is very much the same. The deep amber cup imparts a sweet, heady aroma and taste that lingers on your taste buds, infusing your mouth with fresh, summer tastes.
