Information: If you can think of a fruit combination that sounds juicer, more delicious, or more sumptuous than peach apricot, I would be surprised. In China, archaeologists working during the time of Chairman Mao discovered evidence of people enjoying apricots and peaches together at least 4000 years ago. From those ancient times, both fruits eventually made their was westward in the form of cuttings and seedlings, traveling via Persia to the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Spain. In Italy, both fruits flourished and rose in such popularity they became noted favorites of various rulers of the Roman Empire. The characters of both fruits together blend into a harmonious explosion of citrus goodness. What makes them blend so well with a high grown Ceylon tea? The natural acidity, and astringent qualities of both. Try a cup for yourself and discover what makes this tea one of our most special blends. Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to just before a boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cut in the teapot. Pour your hot water over the leaves.
