jeweledthumb drank Raspberry Pineapple Luau by Teavana

343 tasting notes

I’ve been really bad with posting my tasting notes. Work has been absolutely crazy and then by the time I get home, I just want to go to bed.

Tonight though, I would like to mention that I almost got my husband to try some tea. I told him it tasted like raspberry jolly ranchers and I offered to make him a cup with sugar and he still resisted. Sigh.

Anyway, this does taste like raspberry jolly ranchers once you add sweetener. I use 3 tsp in my 16oz steeping mug. Yum.

Preparation

175 °F / 79 °C 2 min, 0 sec

Bio

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.

Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:

Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener

Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
