What is peach oolong tea?

Peach oolong tea is the combination of oolong tea leaves and natural dried peach fruit. You can find real dried peach chunks or bits in some brands of peach oolong tea. For others, they use only peach flavor.

The flavor of oolong tea goes well with the luscious taste and pleasant aroma of peach. Apart from the regular type, you can also find organic or white peach oolong tea in the market. Starbucks has a drink called Iced Shaken Peach Oolong Tea. 

Like other oolong tea, it is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Regular consumption can promote heart health, bone strength, and prevent several diseases (Healthline). For a healthy diet, oolong tea can help burn excess fat in the body. It keeps the starches from turning into fat by activating thermogenesis. Oolong tea is also good for our brain function. It contains theanine, an amino acid that plays a role in boost attention, improve cognition, and ease anxiety. 

With fruity flavor and great health properties, this tea is enjoyed and loved by many. It is excellent as a morning pick-me-up type of tea or a peachy cool summer drink. 

How is peach oolong tea made?

The process of making this tea differs from maker to maker. Some brand adds natural peach bits to oolong tea, some use peach flavor, extract or essence. 

You can also find chrysanthemum, orange flavor on the list of ingredients in a pack of peach oolong tea. Those ingredients mostly complement the taste of the tea or add in a layer of flavor. 

Once brewed, it has a golden color liquor with a bright, fruity flavor and floral aroma. This tea is perfect as a refreshing summer drink but can be enjoyed all year round. 

Is peach oolong tea caffeinated?

The answer is yes, peach oolong tea has caffeine, just like what you would expect from a cup of oolong tea. 

One cup of brewed oolong tea (8 fl. oz) contains 10 to 60 milligrams of caffeine. The amount of caffeine a cup of tea carry depending on the tea variety, the amount of tea used, and steeping methods. 

You can look for the exact caffeine content from the particular brand that you buy. It is different from brand to brand. 

How to make peach oolong tea at home?

Peach oolong tea is good hot or cold. So below, we have the steps on how to brew it with hot water and also on how to make a great iced version of this tea. 

Here is the brewing guide in detail:

  • Prepare a pot of water (8 fl. oz – 236 ml), bring to a boil
  • Pour the hot water into a teapot, and then empty the water out
