Green Tea Tropical

I am a huge fan of Mighty Leaf because they are the brand that got me back into drinking good tea, so I may be a little biased as to the teas I discovered first again. I really like green tea tropical. You can taste the distinctive qualities of the green tea, which I love, but it also has a sweet perfume and taste of tropical fruits and flowers. I think it’s delicious. And the flavor comes out even more, I think, when it’s cold.

I thought this tea was nice. Not brilliant, but okay. Then again, nothing will ever compare to the green tea I was given by some Taiwanese exchange students. So every green tea I try will have to be amazing to meet the mark. I didn’t get the “tropical” flavours out of this tea. But it didn’t taste “off” as some of the other posters suggested. I will warn you though, these leaves are huge when they were opened. I didn’t think that I used that many when I dropped them into my Libré Tea glass. But alas, when the water hit them I swear they took up half of the space in the mug.

In conclusion. Good tea. Will I buy again? Probably. Because its the second best to the Taiwanese green tea I had.

If you REALLY like mangoes go ahead, not my cup of tea though.

Very soothing tea with just a bit of sugar to bring out those tropical tastes.

Maybe it’s boring, but I kind of like it that way sometimes!

Finished this up making a huge pitcher of iced tea! It was a nice journey trying Mighty Leaf’s sample set. I don’t think I’ll be buying a large tin of this or any of the other Mighty Leaf teas I have tried. I love trying new things! Anyway, I added a slice of lime to the iced tea and a little bit of Adagio’s lemongrass. Refreshing!

I purchased this tea to be served iced this summer, but for the first steeping, I decided to make it hot. It is an okay, flavored green tea. The fruity flavor is not overpowering. It has a slight dry/bitter aftertaste. I’m not getting any of the “vegetal” flavor the other reviewers were experiencing.

Very smooth flavor. Smells wonderful when you open up the packet. Fruit flavors are very subtle but it gives it a great taste.

There is a strong tropical aroma from this teabag, which gives me quite some joy. Most teabags are weak and pale, but Mighty Leaf seem to be consistent with their potently scented teas.

Steeping gives a light yellow-lime brew, with more green tea than tropical scents. From the aroma, I can tell each apart, which leads me to believe the taste will be the same as well.

The green tea is not what I thought it would be, which is extremely bland. You can taste that it is green tea, but the quality is severely lacking.

The tropical flavor is barely there, probably enough to distinguish from the flat green tea. There is little to no fruitiness the aromas have teased about.

To be honest, I had low expectations once I caught the aroma during steeping. I didn’t want to believe that the green tea wasn’t going to be great, or even at least good, but it was too grassy to even think otherwise. It would have benefited with more tropical flavoring and a more subtle or at least better tasting green tea.

Normally I go for plain green teas but one day while studying at a cafe I thought I’d give this one a go – bad choice! It was awful. I had my hopes up because I have tried mighty leaf teas before and I had known them to be of good quality, but this one tasted very artificial and just plain awful. I did my best to finish the cup because I hate to let things go to waste, but I basically chugged it.
To be frank, if I could describe the taste of this tea in one word it would be “glue”.

I tend not to be a fruit-y taste tea person. My friend bought this tea for me and I admit when I first saw the box I kinda rolled my eyes. At the moment it’s the tea I turn to at work. I love the pretty little silky bags that I can see the tea through, and despite initial fears, I found the fruit delicate and faintly sweetens the green.

It had a very light green tea flavor. The tropical flavor was not overpowering. Overall a very light tea. This does not mean that it was weak.

I’m just not a huge fan of tropical teas. This one didn’t really resonate with me at all. I think there are different tropical-esque flavors that would’ve blended better with green tea.

This is the first tropical tea in a while that didn’t hit me over the head with hibiscus, that is a huge plus in my book, because hibiscus tends to be pretty bitter. The tea in general was pretty mellow, not overly grassy and not overly tropical. I started out drinking this hot and it was slightly bitter so I set it aside, but once it cooled off I enjoyed it a lot more. I think this is one best served iced and with a little sugar to bring out the fruit flavor.

I’m still not a huge fan of tropical teas, but this one wasn’t bad.

Smooth and sweet tropical scent. Fruity. Very light on the green tea flavor. A bit dehydrating.

What an impulse purchase this was the other day – I generally prefer “winter” flavors to tropical, fruity ones. I’d half-expected to try a few sips and pour the rest down the drain in disgust, so it was a happy surprise this morning to prove myself wrong. Not that it’s fantastic – I couldn’t taste much of the green tea over the pineapple/mango-type flavoring (although the fruity aroma is fabulous). Taste-wise, it’s not all that grassy or bitter – if anything, it’s a little bland. I definitely drank it at the wrong time – this is a real afternoon one. Not bad for a bagged, supermarket tea.

I used to drink this tea a lot before I delved into the world of loose teas. That, and every restaurant in BC seems to serve this as their default green tea. Anyway, I tried it again recently and it was underwhelming. Meh green tea, meh tropical flavours. Mighty Leaf makes a good jasmine tea and a good hojicha, but this one is underwhelming.

Whenever I used to go to Moxie’s for brunch, I’d get this tea. I’m amused reading the reviews for it and afraid to ever order it again. I’ve discovered so many loose leaf teas that I love now and I’d hate to be disappointed by an old favorite after so much time.

That said, how “favorite” could it be if I’ve never actually bought a box of it?

When you can’t brew your own loose tea, these are great to bring with you. I got my entire office hooked on this one and now morning and afternoon…they all drink it an love it. I think Tea Snobs have issue with it, but as my someone once told me referring to a cheap bottle of wine vs an expensive one…it doesn’t matter what the price is…if you like it…it’s good!

I’ve tried a number of the Mighty Leaf Teas and liked most of them but I think this is my favorite. Its a nicely balanced flavored green tea with bright grassy notes and just the right amount of fruity flavoring.

I just tried the sample of this that I got with my last mighty leaf order. This tea has a lot of flavoring of pineapple and mango added to it. The flavoring takes the spotlight with this tea, but if you take time to focus on it you can find some green tea flavor.
