I always love trying any kind of tropical green teas, so when I saw the description evoking images of tropical landscapes and warm humid temperatures, I hoped this would be refreshing. I live in the South and it’s wickedly humid in the summer so anything I can do to stay hydrated is awesome.
When I opened up the package there were pretty cornflower petals and strong tropical fruit scents. The look and smell of a tea before infusion is more important than most people realize. When I examine a tea it gives me an impression of the tea that I can contrast with the brewed aroma and taste. The brew had a full body mouth feel and a fresh tropical fruit taste that did indeed make me feel like I could close my eyes and pretend I was on a tropical island (the heat where I live helps.) The website suggested to infuse the tea multiple times, so on my second try I was pleased to note that it still had a good strong flavor. After it sat for a little bit, I iced it and the flavor became even more complex and I could taste more of the papaya in addition to the pineapple flavor. It definitely became more refreshing.
I think this tea would be great to have on your shelf to drink many times in the summer. Brew a first infusion and put it in your refrigerator to drink iced later, then make a second brew to drink hot right away.
