And evidently we aren't the first to hold that opinion. In China, archaeologists working during the time of Chairman Mao discovered evidence of people enjoying apricots and peaches together at least 4000 years ago. From those ancient times, both fruits eventually made their way westward in the form of cuttings and seedlings, traveling via Persia to the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Spain. In Italy, both fruits flourished and rose in such popularity that they became noted favorites of various rulers of the Roman Empire. So what makes the fruits go so well together? The key is in their delicate, intensely sweet flavor profiles. The characters of both fruits together blend into a harmonious explosion of citrus-y goodness. And what makes them blend so well with a high grown Ceylon tea? The answer to that question is the natural acidity, and astringent qualities of both. Try a cup for yourself and discover what makes this one of our most special flavored teas. Peach and apricot - 4000 years of history can't be wrong!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat type of tea do we use, how do we flavor the tea and why do we use natural flavors?\u003cbr\u003eFirstly... we only use high grown teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic 'Ceylon' tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our flavored teas, but none of these teas made the grade.) Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya have a major quality peak during Jan\/Feb, whereas Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya have their peak in July\/Aug. This 'dual peak period' allow us to buy the best for our flavored tea blends several times during the year, ensuring top quality and freshness.\u003cbr\u003eSecondly... we use flavoring oils not crystals to give the tea drinker an olfactory holiday before indulging in a liquid tea treat.\u003cbr\u003eThirdly... we specify natural flavors. High quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural taste of the high grown Ceylon tea. (The norm for many making flavored tea is to use overpowering artificial flavors, which can be used to hide lower quality tea). Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste giving the tea a clean and true character. It should be noted that natural flavors tend to be somewhat 'soft ' and the flavors slightly muted, but for many this is a refreshing change and one of the desired attributes of our naturally flavored teas.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row profile non-border\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row profile non-border\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row profile\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eIdeal Brewing Temperature:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100ºC\/212ºF\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row profile\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row profile\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eHOT BREWING METHOD:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.
