Reminds me of the tropical green from Good Earth (which apparently I never logged… because it isn’t on here), only simpler. It’s absolutely yummy! A nice, bold green flavor without the bitterness from steeping a little longer. The pineapple flavor has a nice presence, and the aftertaste of the tea is a combination of earthy and tangy, I think. I wanted to resteep it, but I left the bag at my fiance’s house. So far, I’m impressed with this company.
This is the other green I got at the Harney & Sons in NYC. It’s a solid blend with a VERY strong pineapple aroma that mellows when steeped. The green tea itself is very mild, which is a good thing for me—I’m not a fan of the heavy grassy taste of some of the plain greens I’ve tried. Unfortunately, I’m also not a huge fan of pineapple—but my boyfriend loves it, so there you go. I’ll brew it to make him happy but I won’t necessarily seek it out… but if you’re more like him, this is a great choice.
I have moved to a new apartment! My former upstairs neighbors are good people. Their 7 year old son is autistic, so the noise—running, jumping, etc— wasn’t really their fault.I hated, hated to move away from that location. But I couldn’t beat it anymore.
I have 4 boxes left to unpack, plus hours of trying cram everything I own into a smaller apartment. I am tired and cranky.
Friends very generously gave me a really beautiful cup and a tin of this tea as a housewarming gift. The tin is lovely. The cup is absolutely beautiful. It has a girl reading in a garden and blossoms and butterflies in the inner rim. I really love it. I don’t especially love this tea. I don’t generally care for green teas as I find them grassy and bitter or astringent. This one was bitter. I may have over steeped. I’ll certainly try it again and see if I like it better nest time.
I totally understand the need to move to save one’s sanity and well-being. That decision looms in front of me.
Well done for getting on with it. That was fast. I hope there will be all sorts of pleasant surprises waiting to reveal themselves in this new location and that you settle nicely and easily.
Thanks Evol! It is much quieter. Lots of traffic sounds, since I’m right on a main drag, but that’s the kind of noise that becomes background noise after a while.
I have lived directly on a very busy street, with my bedroom right on the street, and it was surprisingly just fine. So, yay!
This is my second session with this tea and I’m still not sure how to rate it.
The smell of the dried leaves is amazing. Brewed not as much, though still not bad. The flavor is also not bad, but also isn’t anything that makes me think, “ooohh, I want some more of that”.
I’ve never been a fan of greens. Its quite possible it may be the reason why I don’t love this.
Flavors: Pineapple
My pick for after the book signing at Barnes and Noble yesterday. Considering the brewing parameters, and the paper cup, it was still rather good, though it did go a tiny bit bitter. I’ll stick to brewing this one at home mostly, but it was great for yesterday’s pleasant spring weather.

It seems that almost every tea company offers some variation on a tropical fruit green tea. This is one of the better ones I’ve tried! A nice smooth, lightly grassy base that would probably be tasty on its own accompanied by a sweet, natural pineapple flavor and a hint of something else…apricot, maybe? I thoroughly enjoyed my cup of this and am hanging onto the sample to try it again iced.
Flavors: Fruity, Grass, Pineapple, Smooth, Tropical
“I wanted to resteep it, but I left the bag at my fiance’s house.” Haha nice. He should have kept drinking it:)
