Golden Mojito

writing the first note on this…huh

I’ve had this a couple times now, iced, but today I was curious to see how it’d be hot. It’s not bad at all, I might actually like it better this way.

This is strongly citrusy, mostly lime, and then there’s hints of pineapple. It’s got the right amount of mint. Only thing I don’t like is that it seems oddly thick.

It’s just a bummer it’s soooo expensive because I like it way better than the other mojito tea I have, which I believe is also a white tea.

This brews up to a light tan color. It tastes like citrus and mint. I am not tasting the “three types of pineapple” or any pineapple for that matter. I do taste the orange in the finish/aftertaste. Not bad. Not very inspiring either. Might be a good one for me to try iced. Won’t buy more after my “sample” is finished (in quotation marks because Teavana won’t let you purchase less than 2 oz)

I really like this tea. I sweeten it often, but I’m not sure why. It tastes great without sugar (using honey tastes weird though). I think what makes it really unique is its ability to taste good at any temperature. I will often take this tea in a non-microwave-safe travel mug to work and be too busy to finish it while it’s still hot. Even in that room temperature too-warm-for-iced but too-cold-for-hot tea zone, it tastes wonderful.

Wow – WOW! I love this tea. It is fantastic! I adore how limey it is. If only it weren’t so absurdly expensive…honestly, I’d love to know why this tea costs so much. I know that white teas are a lot more expensive, but still – it’s just absurd. I’ll have to make the little bit I bought last, I guess…
