I am doing research on the correlation between the undrained cohesion and SPT N values for organic/peaty soils and I couldn't find any related test for this.

The reason that there is not many, if not any correlations between organic/peaty soils is that it is just too unreliable.
When SPT gets below 10 I really start to question the correlation between Cu.
In peat/organic soils you are probably getting N values of 0-2, these are essentially useless. The confirm that you have a soil that is similar to mayonnaise but nothing else.
For these soils you need CPTs with a large cone..
