149 Tasting Notes
Definitely a strong tea. A little too bitter for me, I will need to try steeping for less time. Not bad, but I prefer more of the malty Assam flavor in my breakfast blends. But if you are looking for a good wake-up tea, this gets the job done. Prepared with a lot of almond milk and stevia (to counteract the bitterness).
Preparation
Truly tastes just like a pina colada. The pineapple dominates, but the coconut is fairly strong as well. The rooibos flavor is almost non-existent. It is a fairly oily tea and has a somewhat creamy flavor. I added stevia, but it would probably be sweet enough for most people on its own.
This is a good after dinner drink. With lots of milk, it kind of reminds me of a Grasshopper. The mint smell is really strong while brewing, but the taste is just right. I did have problems getting the chocolate pieces to melt (even though I used boiling water). I had to put the whole thing in the microwave and stir it like crazy. The chocolate flavor could have been stronger. Prepared with almond milk and stevia.
This one is interesting… Full bodied, more like a juice than a tea. Lots of tartness, and it seems like the tiniest bit of saltiness (kind of like Sour Patch Kids candy). The primary flavor is very berry, but the mango comes through fairly strong in the finish and aftertaste. This is either a love it or hate it kind of tea. I’m pretty sure I love it. Prepared with stevia.
