I have had two pots of this now. I really want to love this tea because it is the one that actually pushed me over the edge to order Della Terra teas. I really do not taste any pineapple, just the cake part. The cake part tastes more like a coffee cake to me. It is very similar to 2 cake teas I recently tried from Simpson and Vail. I am trying to figure out the ingredient/flavor that keep giving me that coffee cake flavor. I need to do some more drinking to decipher with my taste buds. I enjoyed this tea, just not what I expected at all. All these cake teas are making me more tolerant of coffee flavor-not sure if that is good or bad! Also not sure if that is why some people are drawn to them, they are drinkers of both.
