Teapigs Green Tea with Peach is the brand's summer styled fruit and green tea blend, green tea base + real peach pieces + flavour, in temple bag form. Excellent cold brewed for iced peach tea.

The blend

Teapigs Green Tea with Peach contains:

  • Green tea base.
  • Real peach pieces (visible in temple bag).
  • Natural peach flavouring.
  • Sometimes additional fruit pieces.

How it tastes

  • Aroma: Sweet peach with green tea undertones.
  • First sip: Sweet peach character up front.
  • Mid cup: Green tea body emerges.
  • Finish: Soft, fruity, slightly drying.
  • Iced: Becomes the classic peach iced tea, naturally sweet without added sugar.

Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

How to brew

Hot version

  1. 1 temple bag in a mug.
  2. 200ml water at 80°C.
  3. Steep 3-4 minutes.
  4. Drink unsweetened.

Iced (the best use)

  1. 2 temple bags + 500ml cold water cold brewed 6-8 hours.
  2. Strain. Drink over ice with peach slice and lemon.

Lemonade style summer drink

  1. 500ml cold brewed Teapigs Peach Tea.
  2. 500ml lemonade.
  3. Mix. Pour over ice with mint sprig.

Excellent picnic drink.

Why it works iced

Peach + green tea is one of the natural flavour pairings. Cold brewing extracts the peach character without the bitterness of green tea over extraction. The result is naturally sweet without added sugar, closer to fresh peach water than mass market iced tea (which is typically heavily sweetened).

Use cases

Summer iced tea

The flagship use. Cold brewed in big batches for hot weather.

Picnic drink

Thermos of cold brewed peach tea + ice = excellent picnic option.

Patio drinking

Garden party or barbecue. Light, refreshing, low calorie.

Mid afternoon non soft drink

The "I want a flavoured drink that's not a soft drink" alternative.

Children suitable iced drink

Naturally sweet, low caffeine. Good for kids' parties (mild caffeine for over-12s).

Hot version on cooler summer days

Drink hot when the British summer reverts to typical British weather.

Caffeine

20-30mg per cup, green tea base.

Vegan

Yes, green tea + peach, plant based.

Compared to similar products

vs Twinings Cold Infuse Mango & Peach

Twinings Cold Infuse is designed specifically for cold water (no green tea base). Teapigs Green Peach has green tea body and slight caffeine.

vs Lipton Iced Peach Tea

Lipton Iced Peach Tea is heavily sweetened with added sugar. Teapigs is naturally sweetened from peach, significantly lower calorie.

vs supermarket bottled iced tea

Bottled iced tea has added sugar, preservatives, sometimes flavourings. Teapigs cold brewed is pure tea, real peach, no additives.

vs homemade peach tea

Homemade peach tea (real peach + green tea bag + cold brew) is even better. Teapigs is the convenient bag form.
