Peach tea is one of those drinks that carries a whole region with it. Southern Peach Tea is our take on that tradition, built with fresh squeezed lemon, real tea, and real peach rather than a flavor blend designed to imitate them.
A Tradition Worth Respecting
Sweet tea and peach have been paired across the South for generations, long before bottled beverages tried to replicate it. When we set out to build this flavor, the goal was never to invent something new. It was to make a version worth comparing to the pitcher your grandmother made, using real ingredients instead of shortcuts.
What Goes Into the Bottle
Southern Peach Tea starts the same way every Lemonicious flavor does, with fresh squeezed lemon juice as the base. From there we add brewed tea and real peach character rather than a peach flavored syrup, so the final drink tastes like tea and fruit rather than a single engineered peach note.
Why It Is Served Cold, Never Shelf Stable
Tea based drinks are especially prone to going flat or bitter when they are pasteurized with heat and left to sit on a warm shelf. High pressure processing lets us preserve Southern Peach Tea without cooking the tea or the fruit, which keeps the flavor closer to a fresh brewed batch than anything you will find at room temperature in a grocery aisle.
The Bottom Line
Southern Peach Tea is built to taste like the drink its name promises, not a flavored soda wearing a peach tea label. If you grew up on real sweet tea and fresh peaches, this is the flavor in our lineup made with you in mind.
