So just now I went through four different ratio tests...

As you say, your 5:5:2 variant is much more like a commercial peach tea than the original recipe above.
Mine was pretty good, but peach-forward, needed more tannins and was a touch sweet, all of which I put down to me not getting the black tea right. Not drinking tea, I probably underestimated the quantities/ brewing time/ tea leaf strength.
Post-Trump, when bourbon's back on the shopping list, I will revisit this. Ta.
