Product Review: IZZE, Sparkling Peach

♥a.k.a my favorite IZZE drink!♥

Love this one, I'd like to drink it every day! :) Nice and tangy! Very natural peach flavor, almost wild tasting.

And it reminds me of something from my childhood. Can't quite put my finger on what it is though.

Product Review: steaz iced teaz, peach

Steaz Iced Peach Tea is made with green tea which I usually don't like, but this drink wasn't bad at all. According to Rebecca it did not beat "Tazo" Peach tea or "Sweet Leaf" Peach tea, but those are both black, so if you like green tea I bet this would be right up there. Me and Jubi (age 2) did guzzle it down pretty quickly... hehe, so that probably speaks volumes. I want to try out some of the Steaz other drinks, Rebecca was saying they sold sparkling teas. Yummy!

Product Review: Sweet Leaf, Organic Peach Iced Tea

Yeah, check that out! Only $0.75! :D Picked this up at Big Lots, actually went in to pick up some popping corn, and only had like 3 bucks and some cents in my pocket. ;P
     The only problem with getting drinks from Big Lots is that it comes off a shelf, it's not chilled. So, I took it to my Gram's and popped it in the fridge for awhile.

Me like! It had a very juicy peach flavor, one of the best I've tasted. Perfect sweetness. Wanna go back and get several more!

Check out their site, it's rather cute: http://sweetleaftea.com/

Okay, so I've noticed.......we're kinda crazy about tea.

Product Review: XingTea - w/ Peach & Honey

Peach, peach, peach.

Naturally I have to compare this to my favorite peach beverage, Tazo Giant Peach, and it rates pretty good. And since I haven't found a place that I can get Tazo at in Pitt, this is a good option while I'm there.

No bitter aftertaste that so many of these kind of teas have, and it was pleasantly sweet. My Grandma Jenny, said that Tazo was too sweet for her, so if you feel the same, this might be more to your liking.

Came across this drink at Ron's in Pitt. I've never seen it any other place. They do have a website, but it appears to be under construction.

Product Review: The Republic of Tea, Ginger Peach

As I have mentioned before, I'm not fond of ginger. Why did I get some ginger peach tea then?

Well, I had a faint memory of liking this one, and it's not that bad.

The ginger is very mild, non of that bite that I dislike so much. Of course it doesn't live up to my favorite peach tea (tazo's Giant Peach), but it was nice. Chilled is best, in my opinion, and there was pretty much no bitterness.


I got this tea at the Whole Foods in KC, but it can also be purchased at
The Republic of Tea.com

St. Dalfour, Organic Golden Peach Tea

Peach. I love the smell, the taste, everything! Pie, yogurt, the fresh fruit. I love peach.

But I don't like ginger, why it's so often in peach teas, I don't know. I find that it completely over powers the peach flavor.
     I'm always on the look out for a peach tea without any ginger in it. I picked this one up at a local grocery store in the international foods section, but you can also find it various places online.

I liked this tea cold better than hot, with plenty of sweetener (sugar was preferred) and maybe a little bit of milk.
     On the box it said that if steeped too long it can get rather bitter, which I found to be true. Just a couple minute max.
     I thought the best way to enjoy this drink would be to make a larger batch and then store it in the fridge, let it get plenty cold, could be sweetened before or each glass individually. I usually don't like using ice to chill a drink, especially with the peach teas, because the flavor is rather mild, and any dilution can ruin it.

Recipe Review: Two Fruit Smoothie

I can't say that I'd make this drink again. I didn't like the nutmeg and cinnamon at all. Though it was in a contest winners cook book, so I guess some people do.
I usually like a smoothy, so I'd definitely like to try just the peaches and blueberries together. I had another recipe lined up to make, but it also has cinnamon in it, and now I'm not so sure I will enjoy it. About the only place I really like cinnamon and nutmeg, is in a pumpkin pie.
