Smells very pinapple-y!
This is a nice blend. Good depth of pineapple flavor – not too much to overwhelm the tea base but enough to taste the pineapple clearly. Plus, the price is definitely right on Tropical Tea’s products! I might keep this around. Still making up my mind.
This has so many companion ingredients, I’m wondering if “just pineapple” is a bit of a misnomer.
However, the other goodies (calendula just makes a tea happy; I’ve got to pick some up for blending) make it bright and sunshiny tasting. Decent orange pekoe base. This has great chilled/iced potential, but I’m enjoying it warm, too.
Belated thanks to Nicole. This is good!
