 TASTE

Easy Peachy has a lovely smooth, slightly sweet taste with of course that peachy fragrance added. I enjoy this flavor very much. It's not bitter or bad tasting. However, I like my sweets so I do add 3 packets of sugar to a cup of Easy Peachy. I add 3 packs of sugar to all my teas/coffees usually though. I love that the Easy Peachy flavor is actually good enough that it can be drank alone, without sweeteners since it doesn't have an overly strong or bad taste. 

While Easy Peachy does contain lemon peel & marigold blossoms, I personally don't really taste it. I only really notice the taste of green tea and peachy fragrance. While scooping out 2 teaspoons of the leaves though, I seen the small pieces of lemon peel. It was interesting, and I ate one. Definitely taste like lemon peel and was pleasant to taste.

All in all, I'm very fond of the Easy Peachy flavor, and this is coming from a girl who doesn't love the taste of green tea. I do love most tea and Easy Peachy is a flavor everyone could enjoy, even children. A few packets of sugar and some ice cubes and it's a pleasant drink. You can drink it warm of course, but I prefer cold teas and coffees.
