Another from my generous swap-package from Nattie :D

I was really curious about this one – it looked so funky in the packet and smelled really fruity. This morning, I didn’t really want anything caffeine-y before I had breakfast, and I usually like fruit juice with bread and cheese, so this seemed like an excellent cold-weather choice (I did a “normal” brew, obv). I probably oversteeped it a little (I reckon I did around 7 or 8 minutes).

It was really fruity! I was actually kinda surprised by how fruity it was. Especially because most fruit teas I’ve tried so far have been berry/hibiscus based, so this was a nice change. I’ve never drank a Pina Colada (I don’t drink alcohol, at all), so I couldn’t comment on whether or not it tasted like one. But everyone else seems to think it does, so I guess it succeeds on that front! :D

People are all talking about cold brewing this, and I probably have enough left in the packet to do a cold brew. Maybe I’ll try that later in the week and see what I think…

Either way, this made for a lovely fruit tea – genuinely intense fruit flavours (I got that “tropical” flavour, which I’m guessing is pineapple and coconut mostly) and a lovely, non-artificial sweetness :D Thanks again, Nattie!

Bio

Junior doctor and casual tea-drinker.

It’s been a busy few years for me – I’ve graduated from med school and I’m now working full time as a junior doctor in a small UK hospital. I’ve returned Steepster to continue to learn, take recommendations and share my experiences :-)

I remain particularly keen to try lots of new teas, especially Pu Erhs and Oolongs!

I’m also happy to swap, particularly within the UK! If you see anything in my cupboard that you wanna try, please don’t be afraid to ask! Most of them I have at least 25 g of, so a 5 g sample or so will be no trouble :-)
