Pina Colada

Rooibos Tea by DAVIDsTEA

Drink it in
The spring of 1954 saw Ramon “Monchito” Marrero (who?) pacing back and forth behind the Beachcomber Bar in Puerto Rico. Three months later, he poured the world’s first Piña Colada, ostensibly for a Hollywood starlet basking on the beach. Half a century on, here we are with our own (slightly healthier) adaptation of his drink. Pineapple, coconut and green rooibos. Thanks Ramon. We love you.

I can see why they call it Piña colada, and i’m sure if it were iced it would taste just like it! I was impressed with this one, as I will have more of it as time goes on. The pinapple flavoring was more of the candied pineapple taste but the coconuttiness was just right :)
I’m going to say that the pineapple was overpowering the coconut, 90-10. which was unfortunate, nonetheless solid,eventful tea. I noticed that it was green rooibos instead of what I usually have ( red rooibos ) I just find that it has more of a tea flavor if that makes any sense, as red lets the flavor do the talking and green lets the tea do the talking.
Interesting tea, will try again.. ICED!

I have to be in the right mood for this one. It’s not bad but I’m not always up for coconut. Good for when I’m in the mood though.

This tea brings out a lot of coconut. The green rooibos flavour is there as well. I have found that I am not fond of green rooibos so I’m not fond of this tea either. But if you’re into these flavours, you may enjoy it. And pineapple? didn’t taste it at all.
