Fruit White Blend by The Republic of Tea
A Cup of Hospitality. The exotic pineapple and guava fruits of the tropics blend wonderfully with the subtle profile of this exquisite White Tea to create a perfect, welcoming cup.
Not all White Teas are created equal! The Republic of Tea has procured this season’s harvest to offer 100% White Tea in our signature round, unbleached tea bags. No other variety of tea or leaves are included. Once reserved for the cups of emperors and nobility we are honored to offer you this pure, delicate brew with its subtle, sweet, lingering finish. Serve warm or over ice.
I need to work on the brewing temps for this tea. I used 165 for 2 minutes and the pineapple is great, but there is an almost peppery taste that hits the tongue two seconds after the sip that wants me to dump this cup. It smells so good, I’ll just have to play around with the next cup more.
I won’t rate this tea for now.
AWESOME.
The pineapple/guava combo is a winner. Though I can’t really distinguish much of the guava, the pineapple really comes through. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. The pineapple tastes just like a traditional pineapple-jelly Korean Moon Cake.
The fragrance is awesome, and gets stronger over time. The taste is slightly weaker than the aroma, as I taste it more in the nose than the tongue. But nonetheless, it’s sufficiently strong for a white tea.
No tannin taste after the cup, just sweet goodness.
Put a tea with pineapple in front of me, and I’m a happy camper. This one is no exception to that rule. The pineapple is crisp, and the guava flavor gives it a nice tang. The fruit doesn’t overpower the taste of the white tea, either. A very good tea for summer; it’s also good iced.
Tastes wonderful iced. For the times when Harney & Sons’ Caribe fails me.
Pretty tasty white tea. Not The Republic of Tea’s best, but still good.
