Peach Apricot Green Tea

A longtime Churchill’s favorite pairing of traditional Chinese Gunpowder green tea with juicy peach and fragrant apricot for a bright, fruit-forward cup.

The Experience

Some teas become memorable because they are rare. Others become memorable because you simply keep coming back to them.

Peach Apricot Green Tea belongs to the second group—a well-loved Churchill’s favorite that brings together a centuries-old Chinese tea style with the familiar sweetness of summer fruit.

At its foundation is Gunpowder green tea, traditionally made by rolling green tea leaves into small, tightly formed pellets. Known in Chinese as zhū chá, or “pearl tea,” this distinctive style has been produced in China for centuries and became especially well suited to storage and long-distance trade because of its compact form.

Watch the leaves as they brew: what begins as tiny pearls gradually unfurls in hot water, revealing the tea leaves within.

Peach and apricot take this traditional green tea in a decidedly fruit-forward direction. Ripe peach brings juicy sweetness while apricot contributes a softer, fragrant stone-fruit character. Against Gunpowder’s substantial green-tea foundation, the result is bright, aromatic, and wonderfully approachable.

It's a meeting of old and new—an enduring Chinese tea tradition interpreted through flavors that feel instantly familiar.

Tiny Pearls with Centuries of History

Gunpowder green tea gets its English name from the appearance of its tightly rolled leaves, which reminded early Western observers of grains of gunpowder. Its Chinese name, zhū chá—“pearl tea”—offers a rather different image.

Rolling isn't merely decorative. The compact shape helped protect the leaves during storage and transport, contributing to Gunpowder tea's long history as a traded Chinese green tea.

Peach Apricot gives that historic style a modern personality.

Peach. Apricot. Summer fruit layered over an old Chinese tea tradition.

It's also a reminder that tea culture has never stood still. Tea travels, encounters new tastes and new people, and becomes part of new traditions.

That's how a tea can eventually become something more personal: the tea you always keep in the cupboard, serve to a particular friend, brew every summer—or simply begin to think of as “your tea.”
