Description

Tea doesn’t get much more tropical than Calypso — our organic blend of Chinese black teas, pineapple and coconut slivers. Its deep russet brew combines the tangy aroma of pineapple, the boldness of strong black tea and the sweet, tropical scent of real coconut. Its flavor is assertive, tannic and fruity with a tart, lasting pineapple note in the finish.

Pair Calypso with jerk chicken, tropical fruit salad, or vanilla or caramel sweets. It’s also great sweetened with a bit of honey or sugar, or served as an iced tea.
