Mercuryhime drank Pina Colada Honeybush by 52teas

I got to try some of this thanks to DaisyChubb. It is fantastic! There are copious amounts of pineapple and coconut in the mix. I have to admit, the dry smell reminded me of vomit. But I pushed forward and was rewarded with a delicious fruity and creamy drink. Yummy! I love the smooth coconut flavor. Half way through my cup, I added sugar and evaporated milk. Wow! I felt so guilty having a creamy sweet dessert for breakfast. But wait! It’s just a cup of tea. whew! Next time, I have to get some coconut milk and add that instead of regular milk.

Afterwards, I tried to eat the pineapple bits. Not bad! :)

I liked it too – I thought it might be a good iced tea as well

haha I’m glad the dry smell didn’t push you away!
I bet it is because of the packaging – other smells being near the bag, you know? They’re not the best bags to keep tea in x_x
Anyways, I totally eat the pineapple too, so this makes me happy haha :D

You’re probably right. :)

I’m glad that it’s not supposed to smell like vomit. haha. I actually wanted to eat the pineapple before I even brewed the tea, but I didn’t want to lessen the pineapple flavor so I told myself I could eat it afterwards. :)

Profile

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
