Whether you go hot brew or cold brew, you’ll get real peach taste without extra fuss. Just drop them in water and enjoy.

Common Questions on Peach Tea Pitchers

Why does my pitcher of tea taste "off" after only two days?
Usually, it's the pitcher itself! Plastic pitchers are porous and "hold onto" the flavors of whatever you brewed last month. If your peach tea tastes like last week’s lemonade, it’s time to switch to glass. Real Talk: Glass doesn't just look prettier on the table; it keeps the tea's pH balanced and the peach flavor crisp for up to 72 hours.

I forgot my tea bags in the boiling water for 20 minutes. Is it ruined?
It’s not ruined, but it’s definitely going to be "punchy." Over-steeping black tea releases excess tannins that can mask the delicate peach notes with a dry, bitter finish. If you over-steeped it, don't toss it! Just add an extra cup of cold water and some fresh ice to "stretch" the flavor back to a smooth profile.

Can I use the hot-brew bags for a "Sun Tea" method?
You can, but honestly, why wait 4 hours when you can have it in 5 minutes? Sun tea also carries a small risk of bacterial growth because the water never gets hot enough to pasteurize. If you want that mellow "sun-kissed" flavor without the wait or the worry, just use the Cold Brew Peach bags. They’re literally designed to give you that smooth finish in the time it takes to set the table.

Is it okay to add the ice while the tea is still hot?
If you want "Cloudy Tea," go for it! But if you want a crystal-clear pitcher that looks like a professional mocktail, let the tea cool to room temp before adding ice. Adding ice to boiling tea shocks the proteins in the tea leaves, which causes that murky, hazy look.
