Alpine Punch

I went to David’s Tea to buy some teas (read… way too many) and smelled this one. Wow, I was not expecting to buy it yet I was blown away by the dried tea smell. It smells like Amaretto.

Taste: sigh. It is perfect. Amaretto, with a hint of coconut. I love it. I am also happy that it does not taste like a woody rooibos. Even though I promised myself I would not buy anymore teas this month I might just have to stock up on this one before it runs out. Damn I am going to need another job.

Lovely. Rooibos with detectable almond and coconut flavours for sure. Excellent even if it steeps for a little too long.

This tea reminds me muchly of Tealish’s Sweetie Pie Rooibos. I like this version but could do without the artificial flavouring. I don’t know much (yet) about tea, but I do think a tea should stand on its own without the need for added flavour and artificial no less. Still, I do like it with a splash of soy milk.

I had a sample of this one, and mmmm!

Love the blend of coconut and apples together! Never knew I would like that kind of combo and I did when I tried this one! sooo good, very nice

I was in my local mall and naturally, I couldn’t resist the pull of David’s Tea, especially not when I knew they had new teas in. The smell of this tea absolutely blew me away. Sweet, almondy, delicious – someone else compared it to amaretto – a fair comparison, I would say. Unfortunately for me, the taste didn’t quite live up to the smell. It was still very yummy with a slight marzipan flavour, but it’s possible that it smelled TOO good.

This used to be my favorite tea last year, and I went through a 50 gram bag, and then a tin. So this year I ordered 250 grams of it online.
I still love it, but I get more of a fake fruit punch flavor than I would like, especially when it’s not piping hot. But the smell puts a smile on my face. yummmm

my absolute favourite tea, EVER. seriously, it’s sweet, nutty flavour is perfect. i cannot get enough of it and plan on getting another tin very, very soon. yummmmmm!

Oh my lord. I had a sample of this in my cupboard from the last order I made online, and I finally got around to trying it tonight. I don’t like ginger. But I can hardly tell it’s even in this tea. The flavor of apples, almond and coconut is a creamy delight. I’m so impressed. I will be picking some of this up the next time I go by. I’ve been addicted to Jessie’s Tea for a few months now, but I might have to switch back and forth with this one!

Delicious tea! My new favorite of the moment!
It’s smooth and perfectly sweet. Delicious amaretto taste.

Wow, amaretto/Tahiti treat. This is magic in a cup.

Wow….is all I can say.
I admit I was falling out of love with Rooibos lately.
I am now cured!
Deliciously warming.Deliciously lightly sweet.
Delicious aroma matches what is in the cup exactly.No false advertising here.
Oh Rooibos how could I ever doubt you?

OK…this is my new favourite tea!!!! and the smell! I can’t get enough of it.
I got this as one of the free samples included in my last online order, and glad I did. Bought a tin of it tonight!
To me it totally smells like black cherry ice cream. AMAZING! Once brewed it really does smell/taste like Amaretto :)
I really can’t get over the black cheery ice cream smell of the tea in the can though!!

This is such a lovely tea! It is warm and apple/cinnamon-y and it’s just lovely. My cousin and I loved it.
The flavours work so well together and the almond pieces add just enough of a special touch that it’s perfect. I’d love to see this one stick around longer than just for the winter season. I could see me drinking this one in the fall too, watching the leaves change colours.

I was a bit afraid of how this tea smelled dry – very strong, almost synthetic, almond scent. Steeped it’s much better, and I like that there’s no rooibos woodiness. However, I’m not picking up on much fruit, and the spices are very subtle. I may try another steep with a more representative scoop and see if that helps. :P

3 words: OM NOM NOM. The sample I received lasted all of a day. Must buy all available amounts of this rooibos after xmas!

Almonds? Yes please!

Love this tea. Some say amaretto, which I understand, but I personally find this tea more like a fruity marzipan. Delicious, this tea delivers everything it promised in the description, it’s sweet (without anything added) but not too sweet, nutty, slightly fruity, and warm from the spices. Good thing it’s caffeine-free, because I want to drink this tea morning, noon, and night!

I love how the other notes/reviews talk about the amaretto scent/flavor because I was trying to put my finger on what it was that smelled so great about this tea.

This afternoon I let my oldest smell all the teas in the holiday collection (I bought the sampler), and I had come down to debating between the Organic Hot Toboggan and this one as the tea to try tonight. I then let my youngest decide which tea we were going to make out of the two, and this is the one she chose.

So what was the big review? Neither child liked the tea, but I’m in love! It has such a great aroma, and I find that it’s taste is quite mellow (compared to how strong it smells). I can easily see myself trying this with some amaretto or other liqueur in it at some time and definitely am feeling that this one is tin worthy!

Now I’m debating if I should take some in my Timolino tomorrow to work ;)

OK…let me tell you, when the winter collection came out…as a newbie to this tea thing I RAN to the store to get it to try it out, I tried Hot Tobaggan and loved it. Today while I was working on my computer, I decided to brew a pot of Alpine Punch. The smell was to die for and yes this smelled and tasted like warm Amaretto without getting the effect. I am so loving this tea that I think I will be making a stop for a tin…it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside

Love this!
I was surprised at the strength of the almond that came through in the steeped tea – sometimes I find that the nutty essences are lost when they’re steeped, but this was wonderful. I agree with the other commenters that it would be much better suited to an afternoon or night-time tea than morning. Definitely a rooibos that I really love, which has been difficult to find lately, and one that I hope sticks around for a while.

Tasty. I find because of the black pepper I am unable to drink this tea if my throat is bothering me or it makes it worse.

Amazing as a latte as well.
