With summer slowly winding down I am making an effort to sip down my summer teas and this tea is screaming summer, cold steep, and tropical all at the same time (this is one noisy tea!) This is my first tea from Pure Aroma, and I want to thank Katiek for sending this to me in her incredibly generous mystery tea box.
The last several tropical teas I’ve tried have been a bit of a let down, but I enjoyed this one, although I wish the flavor would have been as strong as the scent of the dry leaf. If I had more of this I would double the amount of leaf I used, my typical 1T/8oz for a cold steep didn’t work well in this case. I was surprised by how light the flavor was considering that it steeped for nearly 18 hours.
This blend was very heavy on the coconut, with a hint of sweetness from the pineapple and a nice creamy taste that reminds me of a Piña Colada. I do find that I wanted the pineapple to come through a bit more so i added a bit of pineapple juice to it.
