As I sit here I am very anxiously awaiting my first purchase of loose leaf tea from Adagio with my very fetching tea steeper. While I was waiting I figured I could review a brand of tea I am very familiar with, Lipton Pyramid Infusions.
I was ecstatic when I stumbled upon this new brand grocery shopping. The box alone looked so nice and bright and it was on sale for only $2 and I figured it looked nicer than my usual bagged tea. So I snatched up three boxes to try asap.
The smell is lovely. The pineapple is very prominent the longer you let it steep and the chamomile is a soft fragrant background note. The taste is very fruity and a little floral, not as strong as I would have liked though. I decided to add a little agave to see how it takes to it.
The agave surprisingly seemed to bring out the chamomile more than the pineapple. The fruitiness took a background seat to the floral explosion of flavor. Next time I think I will use refined white sugar but for now I will finish this delicious cup.
