I think this is a tea that I probably shouldn’t like, but I do. I can’t help it. It reminds me of the Hawaiian Tropics suntan lotion in a dark brown bottle that I used to love when I was in high school. That stuff was so awesome smelling. This tea makes me want to get some.
Coconut is the main flavor here but there’s also a pina colada-y taste and a darker taste (which I’m guessing is the actual tea). It feels a little oily but not in a that-pizza-needs-to-be-blotted-off-nasty way but more of a spaghetti-sauces-made-with-oil-are-always-tastier kind of way.
So yeah, that sounds delightfully appetizing, right? Oil and suntan lotion. See what I mean when I say I don’t think I should like this? Because honestly, I don’t think it is a good tea, but the experience of drinking it, for me, is good. It reminds me of summers spent poolside, which, considering I have been accused by multiple people of being solar powered, is something that always make me happy. So for me this tea is like a summer vacation in a cup.

I loved that Hawaiin Tropic stuff too. I remember the oil in the bottle with the raised metallic design on the outside. With NO sunscreen in it (scary to think about). Smelled great… mmmmm.
Okay, I need to take a field trip somewhere to go sniff some Hawaii Tropics! I think the one I always used was like an SPF 2 and honestly, I used it for the smell. Coppertone is okay but the HT was the best!
I’m thinking this on ice sounds lovely. WIth a little umbrella in the glass.
Oddly enough, I hadn’t thought of trying this iced but I like the idea! I’ll have to do that next time – thanks!
