Lala drank Pina Colada Honeybush by 52teas

871 tasting notes

Received this from the Zoomdweebies kickstarter.

I am not a huge pina colada fan. This one pretty much smells dead on like pina colada. There are large chunks of candied pineapple and coconut shavings mixed in with the honeybush. It actually looks quite appetizing.

It tastes quite peppery to me. I am finding this is the same “spice” I get with most honeybush blends. There is definitely a pineapple taste and a coconut taste. It is not creamy like a pina colada but I didn’t add any milk/creamer ,so if I did I think it would have felt a bit more like a pina colada. It is sweet but not too sweet, which I am liking. I think the sweet factor is one of the reasons that I don’t really like pina colada drinks so much.

I feel like I am getting a hint of rum. But that may be because I often associate pina colada with Malibu rum (or because there is actually rum flavour in this blend).

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
