This has rattled around my cupboard for 2 years without ever being opened. Why? I have no idea. However, today when I finally opened it, it smelled so pungent and so sickeningly sweet. It filled the room and as I started drinking it, that cloying sweetness transferred to taste. If I’m being honest though, I think this maybe is a victim of age and not a reflection of the tea.
Sipdown (1079)!
Ooh – I really liked this one! In fact, of the small samples I ordered, I think this is the first one I’ve come across where I would order a full bag of it. It definitely doesn’t taste like Pineapple Upside Down Cake to me, but it DOES taste very heavily of sweet pineapple. A combination between a more candied pineapple (like Pineapple Crush/soda) and also a sweet, syrupy “overripe pineapple” flavour. There was something to it that tasted almost waxy to me, but in a weirdly good and nostalgic way. I’ve had this pineapple flavour in tea before, but not in a long time and having it in this cup felt very nostalgic to me…
So yummy!
Thanks for the sample variaTEA! While this isn’t my favourite pineapple black, it’s an interesting one. The smokiness of the tea makes it a little different than others but probably also makes it a little less appealing because of the way it jives with the pineapple (I like Smokey black teas solo). Might add a little sugar and see what happens.
