I have been a Celestial Seasonings fan for years and the old versions of their Peach tea I used to make iced tea the traditional way were great. I make iced tea of some type every day and I had high hopes for this. But truthfully, this tastes terrible, and I am accused by friends and family of liking almost anything! The up front taste is bland at best but the aftertaste is just strange. Peach? Peach is my single favorite flavor and this tastes nothing like peach. I figured out the problem. Take one of the bags and put in in a cold glass of water by the string and watch carefully while you dip up and down. What you see is very different than traditional tea leaves. You will see a powdery substance disolving in the tea. So aha! That is how they have it ready in 5 minutes. This is mostly a powdered tea, not steeped from real leaves like traditional tea. Yeah, there are tea leaves in there, but the flavor is coming from the powder. Then the tast problem hit me. You know that horrific Lipton powdered ice tea stuff? Are youi cringing recalling that strange taste? Well, that is the same flavor, albeit much weaker in this stuff. As usual in life, there aren't many short cuts if you want the really good stuff. Make tea the right way and skip this stuff. In the interest of truth in labelling, this should be called powdered instant tea.
