Discover Niagara Peach: A Taste of Summer
Nestled in the beautiful countryside of the Niagara region, you’ll find lush farmland filled with incredible orchards, including those that produce the famous Niagara Peach. Many people associate this area with its renowned vineyards, but it has a rich history of cultivating delicious fruits—especially peaches. European settlers likely planted the first orchards in the mid-1800s, recognizing the potential of the fertile soil and favorable climate.
The mild weather and long summers have made the Niagara Peach a local treasure. These peaches are larger than their Georgia counterparts and offer a sweet, nectar-like flavor that is simply irresistible. Enjoy them fresh, in desserts, or as a refreshing beverage.
The Perfect Tea Blend
To complement the unique flavor of Niagara Peaches, we use green Sencha tea from Hunan Province, China. Unlike black tea, Sencha is made by steaming the leaves right after harvesting. This method preserves their fresh taste and vibrant color. After steaming, we pan-fry the leaves, giving them a glossy appearance and a distinct flavor.
When brewed, Sencha produces a bright, smooth cup with a delicate sweetness and a honey-like finish. To enhance the peach’s citrus notes, we add delicate white Jasmine petals. This combination creates a refreshing and aromatic blend.
Enjoying Niagara Peach
Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, Niagara Peach captures the essence of summer in the Niagara region. Each sip feels like a walk through sun-kissed orchards, allowing you to savour the rich agricultural heritage of this beautiful area. Indulge in this delightful tea, and let the flavours transport you to a warm, sunny day in Niagara!
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Milk and sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 85ºC/185ºF. For Food Safety reasons bring water to 100ºC/212ºF and let it cool down to 85ºC/185ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
(Individual Serving):
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
