I received a few teaspoons of this in a swap with Marcel Duchamp. Thank you!

This is a tea that I have had my eyes on trying for awhile.. The idea of cilantro and pineapple sounds really interesting. By the time this sample reached me though it had taken a bit of a beating. Mr. Postman was not nice to this sample:( I made a large cup of this in hopes I would get to try it hot and cold. It worked. Both hot and cold the fruityness of the tea is the first thing I taste. It is very pleasant and the sweetness of it is at the back of the sip. I get a slight hint of cilantro mixed in. It seems some sips I get a sweet sip and some I get a sip accented with something that seems like the cilantro. As this cools the flavors become a bit more pronounced to me. Unfortunately as this cup cooled it also got a bit bitter. I hope I can blame part of that on the power form that I made this tea from. I dint’ really get the cream portion of this tea, but all in all it was a very enjoyable cup. I think I may have to add a 1/2-1 oz to my next butiki order. I think it would be a fun iced tea this summer.

I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
