Hot: This is my least favourite of the carcadet blends we ordered. It’s not not good, but the taste just isn’t my personal favourite. The piña colada flavour is really on point, but for some reason I feel that with the hibiscus-rosehip the flavours are clashing instead of complementing. Perhaps because both are quite strong flavour. But the tea us certainly what it says it is!

Chilled: The flavours are actually more muted when chilled. I would say the coconut comes forward the most, with that sweetness of what really makes that piña colada flavour. The hibiscus is more mellowed here and not in as much competition with the coconut/pineapple.

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
