This is a sipdown for Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge, International Irish Whiskey Day. I don’t have any whiskey-flavored teas, so I went for a loosely alcohol-themed one. This one is definitely better iced than hot, but even iced it’s just… ok. Not terrible, I get some coconut and pineapple flavor, but something about it just doesn’t quite click. Unfortunately I didn’t take good notes while drinking so I can’t be more specific than that, and will also therefore refrain from giving it a score. But, to borrow a GeekSteep phrase, this won’t be a restock/resteep for me.
This is You :-D

I bought a pineapple coconut tea last year that disappointed me and this one sounds much the same.
