This dessert packs a punch in both flavor and texture – the ripe and juicy peaches are the star of the show, while the green tea and mint add a touch of earthiness and freshness. The tart pastry is the perfect vehicle for all of these delectable ingredients, and the final product is a mouthwatering treat that is sure to please any dessert lover.

To make this dessert, you will need a few key ingredients. For the pastry, you will need flour, butter, salt, sugar, and an egg yolk. For the filling, you will need fresh peaches, green tea leaves, mint leaves, sugar, and cornstarch.

Begin by making the pastry. Combine the flour, butter, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl, and mix until the butter is broken down into small pieces. Add the egg yolk and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

While the pastry dough is chilling, prepare the filling. Peel and slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges. In a separate bowl, mix together the green tea leaves, mint leaves, sugar, and cornstarch. Add the peach slices to the bowl and gently toss to completely coat them in the mixture.

Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface to approximately ¼ inch thickness. Cut out rounds of dough that are slightly larger than the size of your tart tins. Spoon the peach mixture onto the center of each round of pastry dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Fold the edges of the pastry dough up and over the peaches to create a closed tart. Place the tarts onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

While the tarts are baking, prepare a glaze using apricot jam and water. Heat the jam and water in a small saucepan until it forms a smooth glaze. Once the tarts are finished baking, remove them from the oven and brush the glaze over the top of each tart.

Allow the tarts to cool for a few minutes before serving. The combination of the flaky pastry, sweet and juicy peaches, and refreshing green tea and mint filling is a true delight for the taste buds.

This closed peach tart with green tea and mint is a unique and flavorful dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
