MONKEY ON A CELESTIAL PEACH FLAVOURED BLACK TEA

I made this blend for a friend who is always seeking a new scented tea experience. I have chosen a black Chinese tea, called Fuchow Monkey King, which has natural flavours of chocolate, rose and malt and scented it with a sweet, refreshing peach oil. The mix together is sumptuous, which when sweetened makes a low-calorie alternative to a pudding. The name given is in honour of a style of Chinese teapot I have seen with a little monkey sat on a giant peach. This flavoured black tea is made on the shop premises by hand. Ever since the Chinese first added blossoms and fruit juices to tea centuries ago, people have enjoyed experimenting to find complementary flavours. The marriage of tea to natural fruit oils, flowers and spices, opens up an infinite variety of surprising tastes to the drinker. They are complemented by the addition of sugar and can be taken with milk if desired.
