Dry Leaf Nose: Strawberries and cream.
Liquor: Dark brown/classic black tea.
Flavour: Strawberries and whipped cream with a cake-like background. Very appealing and remarkably like a strawberry shortcake in character of flavour.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Pineapple and coconut
Liquor: Clear-brown.
Flavour: Piña colada flavour – strong notes of pineapple with a coconut background. Sweet and fruity.
Preparation
Pina Colada is my favorite flavour! My flavour favorite! So excited.
Oh hell yes!!!!I LUST for pina colada favored anything..
I wish I could marry all your tea..YES I SAID IT.
Haha, after my last experiment trying three Pina Colada teas in one night (after a real virgin pina colada), my stomach is churning a little… (but someone’s gotta make a good pineapple coconut tea eventually, right?!)
Is this herbal or tea based?
@Heather: It’s herbal.
Dry Leaf Nose: Sweet pear aroma with vanilla notes.
Liquor: Golden colour.
Flavour: Very sweet and delicious pear flavour – this is not a subtle blend and makes an excellent iced tea. Variety of pear is the Bosc (AKA “winter pear”).
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Berry, fruity strawberry.
Liquor: Murky gold-green colour with a berry-fruity aroma of strawberries.
Flavour: Strawberry flavour outshines the green rooibos, and leaves a refreshing strawberry aftertaste.
Preparation
I can’t believe Swampwater has been discontinued! I hope it comes back again in the near future. It is my favorite tea, ever!
Nicole, I am in the same position. I really enjoy this tea and thought it was going to be online only. Yet the company has decided to change their policy.
It is unfortunate. I ordered 50g, and then went to order more when I seen online only, but it says it was out of stock :( Hopefully it returns again in the future..
Dry Leaf Nose: Sweet, sweet watermelon.
Liquor: Rosy tone and usually clear coloured, although this can vary depending on the amount of fruit present in the steep.
Flavour: Sweet watermelon.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Chilies with ripe tropical fruit.
Liquor: Golden with a slight green tinge.
Flavour: Very ripe mango with a hot chili background. Naturally fruity, sweet and hot!
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Wonderful fruity and floral aroma that is sweet and clean.
Liquor: Golden green colour with a wonderful fruity, floral aroma.
Flavour: Floral notes prevail in the cup and are well-supported by the fruity notes of the hibiscus. Jasmine hints finish the cup.
Preparation
The white hibiscus blossoms are sparking my curiosity. It’s not tart like the red hibiscus?
It’s actually quite floral – fruity even.
Having it right now. It is nice and fruity. Tastes like it smells. I get more of a white tea taste from it than a green but I will be buying more of this one.
Your best blend ♥
Dry Leaf Nose: Minty with a citrus and fruity note.
Liquor: Golden yellow to light red.
Flavour: Minty and fruity with a slightly tart taste. Prominent rosehip and hibiscus notes that are balanced by the lemongrass that adds a citrusy background. Valerian root is buried in the complex character of the blend (which is good because it can have an acrid taste).
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Fruit ambrosia, sweet but light.
Liquor: Clear pink/red liquor that is fragrant from the fruit, but still delicate
Flavour: Fruit mélange is the main note with a sweet-tart taste and cinnamon finish. Refreshing and satisfying.
Preparation
Just curious – if this one’s not a new tea (which it doesn’t appear to be), why put up a description like this now?? Made me excited until I saw that there were year-old tasting notes :( (And I’m not familiar with it, so it probably doesn’t exist anymore).
Krystaleyn – they’re re-releasing it for Mother’s Day :)
How did you find that out?! I use Facebook to be up on things and somehow missed the new teas AND the re-release of this.
Whoops, I see the Mother’s Day stuff. I hate this stupid Timeline layout…
I just saw it on the actual DT website actually – I’m not too good at keeping up on Facebook
Is this to compliment the other cake teas or is this something separate?
@Heather: The others were a limited edition launch. This one is a standalone cake tea (kind of like Carrot Cake was).
Yay!!!!! cannot wait!
