I used some of this to fill out the leaf for my Timolino full of Todd & Holland Copacabana last week, and was surprised to find I hadn’t written a note about it. I know I was drinking this pretty steadily for a while sometime back.
You can’t tell from the picture, but the dry leaf is really pretty. It’s the flowers, which add a dash of color. They have a generic tropical fruit (minus coconut) smell.
I recall this being very heavy on the pineapple to the exclusion of any other flavor, but this cup isn’t like that. It’s possible I got less pineapple in these spoonfuls. The aroma is rounder than I’d expect for pineapple which has a sharper smell, and I can definitely smell papaya and something lightly floral. I don’t really smell the underlying tea.
The color is a medium gold and clear. The flavor is pretty much just like the smell, though with a tad more pineapple and a definite, grassy tea taste.
I like this a lot.
Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Pineapple, Tropical
This sounds really good!
