This is fabulous tea. I drink it both hot and iced. I prefer it iced. It literally smells and tastes like peach. There is another peach tea I bought once when I couldn't find this one; it was not near the same tasted more like a peach pie then peach I found and bought this before I had even finished the other box. It has a smooth taste both hot and iced. As always Celestial Seasonings uses just a bag no string and tag. My only complaint is that they are in stay fresh pouches and not in individual bags preventing me from storing them in my beautiful bamboo tea box.
