In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add the tea bags, and let steep for 8 minutes. Discard the tea bags. Pour the tea into a small pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring a mixture of 2/3 cup water, sugar, and lemon thyme to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool, then strain into a liquid measuring cup. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

In a blender, puree the peach with the tea, thyme syrup, and lemon juice until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine sieve into a pitcher and stir in the gin. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir and divide among jars filled with ice. Garnish each serving with lemon slices.
