From 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.

It is as it says – lots of coconut, lots of pineapple. It tasted like the froth on a pina colada, not like the drink itself. (Probably no one will understand that but me, but whatever!) It was very sweet, too. I had it hot and it was rather unappetizing that way. Cold might be better, but I don’t want to invest in more just to see. The coconut was very overwhelming, too.

Its meant to be an iced tea, but honestly I tried it in both ways & I prefer it hot, has more taste. Its already a little bit sweet.

Im still sad this one has never been brought back, even temporarily for a spring/summer tea. It was one of my first teas from David’s and still no other tea has matched this tropical one that takes you right to the islands. David’s has done countless other teas using coconut, and even some with coconut and pineapple, but none have ever reached the perfect balance of Pina Colada. You tasted and smelled the coconut and pineapple in equal portions, just the way a proper Pina Colada tastes. The rooibos was perfect in that it didn’t overpower the flavors but worked with them. I still have the old container and sometimes look at it wistfully hoping for them to bring back this tea.

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.
