Cool article! I'd love to try some of the aged stuff. It was also supposedly used in some of the original mint julep recipes.

The addition of green tea and maraschino (and dialing down the peach brandy/liqueur) really makes it shine.
I'll have to try this version as I have only tried Jerry Thomas' recipe (similar to the one above). I always thought it odd to add tea to a punch.
I did, too, but I've learned by reading David Wondrich's wonderful new book, Punch, that it was a common ingredient in 18th- and 19th-century punches.
You'll also find tea in the punch that Martin Cate recently created for his punch symposium at Tiki Oasis. Not green though, black.
