Pineapple Oolong

I tried this in the store and then for $1 I tried it in my cup. It’s not bad but I would rather have Butiki Teas oolong or Bamboozled.

MMMMmmmm. It tastes light, but not too subtle because the pineapple flavour still comes through nicely without the thickness you find in actual pineapple juice. I agree with the salesperson who sold it to me in the fact that it tastes more like candied pineapple than fresh pineapple, but how can I complain when I adore candied pineapple so much to begin with? This is one of my new favourite teas, and I hope it becomes permanent after August. It is fantastic iced!!!

This is a lot better than I thought it would be. It’s another sample that I got from a friend, and she loves pineapple more than any other fruit. I love it, too… but for some reason felt iffy about having it hot, in tea. I was totally wrong, it’s quite delicious. Especially paired with oolong, it’s a delicate kind of flavor that still allows the floral-y oolong to come through. I really enjoyed this cup, and I’m looking forward to finishing off my sample.

This was the perfect cup of tea for me to pick this morning! Pineapple is probably my second favourite fruit (after mango!) and I was excited but hesitant to try it (the last oolong I tried from DT I either let steep wayyy to long or it just tasted way too floral). If anything I think this one is a little weak, but maybe I just didn’t use enough leaf. The pineapple definitely comes through in both smell and taste. It isn’t a fresh, juicy pineapple flavor, but more of a pineapple candy (clear gummy bears?). It is definitely sweet enough all on its own, and I can’t wait to try it iced!

This is the first time ever that I’ve woken up early enough to have a cuppa before work. Usually I roll out of bed and flail about in a hurry because I’m going to be late. I got a sample of this with my last order and have been dying to try it.

I was so determined to make this sample last that I think I understeeped it (I probably for about 1m20s). Regardless, it was very tasty. The pineapple was sweet and almost candy-like, which was most likely due to the bit of agave I had put in my cup. Not going to do that on the second steep. It tasted pretty thin and I didn’t get much of the oolong taste, and I’m hoping that it’ll pop up in the second steep.

Just brewed up the second steep (5mins) and I hope I have time to savour it before work!

I am not the biggest fan of pineapple on the planet. Especially, for some reason, in tea. I haven’t really found a pineapple tea that works for me and doesn’t taste like tropical death—or soap. I got this one as a sample in my (huge) tea order so I figured why the heck not.

I liked the pineapple. It’s not kick you in the face pineapple but a nice subtle flavor. I really loved the hint of apricot. It’s one of my favorite flavors and tempers the sweetness of the pineapple. The oolong was a bit light for me but still good and added a nice creaminess to the tea.

This is totally not a tea I would have purchased on my own but I did like it. I will probably buy more for the summer because it would probably be much better iced.

Tried this as TOTD, and will most likely purchase some to take home. The pineapple taste was strong, like candied pineapple, which I love.

I enjoyed this tea at first. It really does taste like fresh pineapple juice! The oolong is very subtle and the pineapple is quite powerful, but I didn’t even finish my cup. If anything, the pineapple might have been a bit too strong for me.

EDIT: I’ve actually had this a few times since writing this review and really enjoy it. Maybe I have adjusted to the flavour or it has been brewed lighter for me, but it’s light and refreshing!

This is quite good, and it really is delicious.

However, this isn’t a tea I will be repurchasing. There are better tasting oolong teas from Davids and I recommend getting those in place of this. If you really love pineapple (I do myself), then maybe you will really enjoy this!

I guess there was just something slightly dissatisfying for me.

This is surprisingly delicious. Dry, it mosty smells like pineapple candy. Steeped it kind of tastes like pineapple candy but the oolong cuts in just enough to keep it from being too sweet. A pleasant cup!

I’ve only tried this hot so far, sweetened and unsweetened. Adding rock sugar just makes it taste fake, so don’t do it the first time you are trying this! I much prefer it without sugar. It lets the floral oolong smells and flavors come out much more and stand up well with the pineapple. The liquor is a gorgeous, sunny, perfectly clear gold. The leaves are pretty too! They unfurl and look so perfectly whole. Upon second steeping, the pineapple flavor will be pretty much completely gone, but that lets you taste the good quality (I think) oolong they used for this blend!

This is by far my fav tea of the month from the last bit and my fav flavoured oolong. I love pinapple though so I’m bias. It took me completely by surprise, my hubby and I were driving across Canada going to every Davids along the way, and this was the tea of the day. I was like WOW THATS GOOD so when we got to our new home I got a tin.

It’s sweet and fresh, really smooth, and just a nice to drink hot or iced. Very well balanced, I don’t get a overly fake tasting flavour, just fresh and delicious.

Eh. I got this as a free sample & was really excited to try it. This is only the second oolong I have ever tried. So far, I am head over heels for milk oolong. This wasn’t bad. I just wouldn’t purchase this myself.

mmmmnh. the flavouring tastes fake. not really much else to say about it than that, unfortunately! :( too bad, i was looking for another fruity oolong.
thats ok though! six more newbies to try tomorrow morning! so watch out!!

Used my whole sample to make a pot today. It was pretty tasty, but not enough that I feel the need to get more.

The smell is pretty artificial and so is the taste. That being said… sometimes it’s what you’re hankering for… it tastes like what crystalized pineapple in the harry potter books might be like.

This is one I kept going back to and smelling but never trying. The first few times I smelled it in store, I really didnt like it at all. I picked it up about 2 weeks ago when they had a sale on pre-packaged teas. When I brought it home and smelled it, it was really different than what I had smelled in-store. This one surprised me and I do intend to buy more when I run out.

Just got this tea in the mail as a sample…not bad. It smells great, and has a very light taste. The smell reminds me of a pineapple soda. I think this tea would make a great iced tea, but either way it’s not bad hot.

Similar in ways to the banana oolong but a little more subtle on the “flavor” but has a better sweetness balance out of the tin.

So far, liking it a lot.

Unlike some other teas, the fruit here being pineapple is definitely present. The pineapple is a little tart, but if you add a little sweetener it’s actually quite yummy! :). The apricot it also there but it’s not very strong, nonetheless it all makes for an interesting combination worth trying!
