Special Pina Colada Green from 52teas

Special Pina Colada Green

Green Tea by 52teas

If you thought our award-winning Pina Colada Honeybush was good, wait till you get to try THIS!

We blended some of the finest green teas we had–some chun mee, young hyson supreme and a smaller portion of Japanese sencha for balance with real dried pineapple, our honking big coconut flakes and all natural flavors. This is going to blow you away. I was thinking really hard about not offering two green teas in a row, but this is so amazing I couldn’t resist.

In order to let as many people try it as possible, we are offering this premium tea in one ounce pouches for just $7.99 (as always, including shipping to the US or Canada), but you can pick up two 1-ounce pouches for just $12.99, and I think you’re going to want to! (International customers, please note that when we do this, I try to remember to always make the shipping for two pouches the same as shipping for one; so you can get two pouches of this tea delivered for $14.99!)

Frank was right … this IS amazing! I think I might even like this one better than the honeybush Pina Colada! The green tea tastes so smooth and crisp and wonderful.

It tastes so good that I wish I had ordered 2 packages instead of just one.

I do hope this week’s release will publish soon … I’m tired of stalking the 52Teas website.

I have tried a few different Piña Colada teas … but I do think that this one is the best so far that I’ve tried. I think it’s even better than the Piña Colada Honeybush! Sweet and juicy tasting, with a light, refreshing green tea flavor. Delicious!

I plan on saving the rest of this package for iced tea! It’s even better iced!

WOW this is AMAZING! Very delicious, sweet tropical flavors helped bring back memories of hot nights on the beach sipping Piña Coladas. The pineapple and coconut pieces were huge. I think I like this better than the Honeybush verison. I feel the flavor of the fruits are able to come through better with the green base. In all I recommend it. Very nice.

Wow I placed my order for this I think Tues night or Wed and I already have it and am drinking a cup. That is the fasted I have ever received Frank’s delicious blends!
This tea is AMAZING!!! I personally like the green tea base better with this than the honeybush. I have another favorite pineapple green tea but this one is rivaling that one because this has yummy pineapple and coconut with a super good green tea base. Only sad part is I wish I ordered more than the one pouch! Frank you are awesome with your tea blends. Now if you could only do a Smore’s tea with chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker flavor…. but one request no lapsang in it! Maybe a honeybush base! Please Please Please! ;)

Resteep from yesterday- This resteeps nicely! Lovely cup of pineapple and coconut for breakfast! Celebrating my husbands birthday today-we are heading out to lunch for seafood. Yippee! We are going to have a grownup lunch without the kids, but we will probably end up talking about them the whole time. :)

I have a head cold and can hardly taste a thing, and this is still awesome. I honestly don’t know how, because I don’t like pina coladas much, and I really don’t like pineapple. But as a tea, slightly softer than the cocktail version, I like it quite a bit. It’s helping to make me feel less like falling onto my couch and not getting up again for hours. If it tastes this good when my nose is stuffed up, I have high hopes for it in a few days! Delicious.

WOW, talk about a great tea… I have the honeybush version and when you open up the package it smells the same… smells like pineapple and coconut and rum, how can you go wrong with that!

I wanted to have this iced so I doubled up on the serving as usual… and that is how I had the honeybush as well. This is soooooo good, the first sip is crisp and cool with the flavors of pineapple and then the coconut that hit your tongue. It is a bit creamy but less so than the honeybush. It is very juicy and great thirst quencher! It is an awesome drink.

Comparing the two the honeybush is a bit sweeter with more creaminess, the coconut is more prominent. Now the green tea one is more refreshing and crisp, I can taste the pineapple more. Both are wonderful and it just depends on what you are in the mood for!

Yum! Just tried this and its awesome!! It is creamy and tropical and delicious! It also has a wonderful green tea flavor. This tea is seriously amazing. I ended up doing two infusions and they were both so yummy!
Also I swear the pineapple in this tea rivals the giant blueberries in the cream cheese danish blueberry tea. They are seriously gigantic! I haven’t tried the honeybush version but if it tastes anything like this one I bet it is amazing too!!

I haven’t made a tasting note in forever!!! I just realized this and how much I miss steepster! I plan on getting back into doing a bunch of tasting notes this summer! Regardless I had this delicious cup of tea this morning with breakfast. It was awesome as always. Fruity, tropical, green, buttery – yum yum yum!!!! Also on a random side note the coconut has now been died green from the green tea – haha.

Had another cup of this earlier today! It is so yummy! I can’t get over it! I want to eat the coconut pieces out :)

Rain for the last three days, and with a short break almost the whole week before that. Storms too but nothing as bad as our friends and family in Alabama. This morning, I needed to think sunny thoughts. I neede to imagine the warmth of the sun so a sample of this from QG did the trick. It was my first pot of the day.
As for the review, the pineapple is on first, the coconut playing second, and the green tea coming in as a closer in the later innings. (Go Cubs!) I would have liked a bit more coconut and even some cherry, but alas, I am just being picky. This is yet another creative and tasty blend from 52 Teas.

OH MY GOSH YUM.
I’m having this hot only because I was too impatient to try it iced – yet, anyway. I will definitely be doing that soon.
This is an amazing combination of pineapple, coconut, and green tea – I can’t get over just how accurate it is. I’m going to have so much fun drinking this!!!

Made up a half gallon of this iced – steeped 4 tsp. in 4 cups of leaves, then resteeped in another 4 cups to get that half gallon. Added some honey to sweeten.

This is not bad iced – it certainly tastes very much like the pineapple and coconut shavings that were in it. The honey nicely sweetens and compliments the tea (I cannot put granulated sugar in a green tea – it just…seems wrong) and it is very refreshing.

I’m not sure I can drink this with meals, though – it seems more of a stand alone beverage. Luckily it’s getting hot enough that I’ll be needing something to keep cool in the afternoons…

The first time I tried this, I must have done something wrong… The was overloaded by the combination of flavors and it just made me ill. I had tried it hot and really could not bring myself to do so again.

On my second try, I made iced tea. I brewed the leaves at double-strength and then poured the tea over ice. This was much better. I got a lot nice sweet balance between the coconut and pineapple flavors and the green tea. So, this isn’t my favorite tea, but it’s fairly refreshing iced.

oversteeped totally bitter, my fault will try again.
