This tea does not taste woody like rooibos, and it is sweeter (due to flavoring or not I am not sure as I have never had pure honeybush). I very much enjoy the flavors as the blend very well into a smooth fruity fun drink. The flavors are all mellow, but present. Don’t expect the same kick in the pants strong flavor as an actual pina colada and you will be happy.
I think it would do very well iced.
Post-Steep Additives: added one teaspoon sweetened cream of coconut, delicious! Highly suggested.
Resteep: weaker but enjoyable
