Solstice Peach Harvest

Flavor/Aroma: Sweet Grassy liquor with undertones of warm roasted peach

Description: Ancient & sustaining, sacred & eternal, the peach has forever united the sensual with the esoteric. Both the tree and fruit amalgamating the human condition with divine intent. The original earthly symbol for immortality.

Feel:  For this tea we start with Young Hyson green tea leaves, The name Hyson defines how this tea is processed and the age at which the leaves are picked. The name Hyson means “before the rains.” Young Hyson produces a golden cup that is full-bodied with a hint of natural sweetness.  Summer’s rich bounty in a desert oasis.

To this we add fresh dried peaches which we sourced and dried ourselves, free of and additives, sugar, or sulfur dioxide. Next, we add perfectly roasted pistachios for richness, body & depth. Lastly, we finish off each small batch with organic and proprietary blended essence, marrying it all together.

Inspired by the peach groves planted and grown by early settlers deep in the lush canyons of the American Southwest. Man’s relationship with this delicate summertime bounty is as ancient as civilization itself and it is little wonder that it has traveled with traders and pioneers across oceans and continents and found it’s footing in even the harshest of lands.

Our Solstice Peach Tea is a celebration of the summer solstice and the bounty of all things in balance. A marriage between the Sun at the height of his annual strength and the soft and rounded peach, with its cleft & promise of reproduction. The ultimate masculine influence and the ancient symbol of the female form blossoming into womanhood and the magic and mysteries she holds.

Chinese mythology speaks of Xiwangmu, the Queen Mother of the West, and her garden wherein grew the Peach Tree of the Gods, which bloomed every 3000 years, and followed 3000 years later by the Fruit of Eternal Life. While peach fruit is the emblem for immortality, the tree itself is considered to be the Tree of Life. Being one of the three blessed fruits in Buddhism, the word for “peach” is also the same as the word for Tao.

Both magic wands and calligraphic brushes used in divination have been made from peach branches throughout the ages.
