Darjeeling Peach Iced Tea: A Summer Symphony in a Glass 🍑✨

When the sun’s beating down and the days feel a little too long, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a tall glass of iced tea. But not just any iced tea — we're talking about a delicate, floral Darjeeling brew, kissed with the juicy sweetness of ripe peaches. This Darjeeling Peach Iced Tea is the perfect blend of lightness and luxury, perfect for garden brunches, golden afternoons, or quiet solo sips.

At Yumavi, we always say tea should be a pause, not just a drink. And this one? It’s a pause worth savoring.

Why Darjeeling?

Often called the “Champagne of Teas,” Darjeeling is known for its muscatel notes and light, floral aroma. When paired with the rich sweetness of peaches, it transforms into a cooling, elegant drink that still carries the soul of a warm cup of tea — just in a more refreshing format.

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons Yumavi Darjeeling loose-leaf tea

• 2 ripe peaches, sliced (fresh or canned in natural juice)

• 2 cups water

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

• Ice cubes

• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

How to Make Darjeeling Peach Iced Tea:

1. Steep the Tea
   Heat the water to about 85–90°C (just below boiling). Add your Darjeeling tea leaves and steep for 3–4 minutes. Strain and allow to cool.

2. Make the Peach Puree
   In a small saucepan, add your sliced peaches with ½ cup water and honey (if using). Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the peaches soften. Blend this mixture and strain it to get a smooth peach syrup.

3. Mix and Chill
   Once both your tea and peach syrup are cool, mix them together in a jug. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

4. Serve
   Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour in your peachy Darjeeling blend, and garnish with mint leaves and a peach slice.

Sip & Slow Down

This iced tea isn’t just a beverage — it’s a moment of calm. The lightness of Darjeeling, the fruity warmth of peaches, and the freshness of mint make every sip a little celebration of summer. Whether you're hosting friends or just taking a quiet break, this tea adds a dash of elegance to your day.

💡 Pro Tip: Try freezing extra peach puree into ice cubes for an even fruitier twist as they melt!
