White tea can often been flavorless if not brewed correctly. For white tea with flavors, I often steep it longer than recommended. I steeped this one for 7 minutes rather than the recommended 5.
Adagio's White Peach (http://www.adagio.com/white/white_peach.html) starts off with an amazing aroma when brewing. It's like summer in a cup of hot water. The flavor unfortunately does not follow through on the splendid aroma. It's only very lightly peach-flavored and even more lightly tea-flavored. I want more from a tea -- I want real flavors in my mouth. White Peach is good enough, but only just.
That makes me sad. I could use some "summer in a cup of hot water" right about now. Too bad it doesn't taste as good as it smells.
