sniffs steam "Ahhh that’s good. sips It’s almost like that peach, peach kind, the pink tea (Celestial Seasonings’ Country Peach Passion). It’s really gasps hot. snickers and puts mug down

Very fruity. And hot. laughs I guess that’s hot tea for ya. It’s got a little vanilla in there maybe and some.. fruit… and it’s that pee-pee color again. I don’t mind the pee-pee — this cup of pee-pee. laughs The best pee-pee I ever had! laughs maniacally

It tastes like something, right? She makes these teas to taste like something. Like a cinnamon roll, right, like a tropical cinnamon roll. Or is it caramel apple. laughs I’m confused now and I don’t wanna say that cuz I don’t want it to stick. sniffs Pineapple, isn’t it?!?!? It’s pineapple isn’t it!?!?!? Pineapple upside-down cake, isn’t it? It’s pineapple upside-down caaAAaAAke!!! burps It’s pineapple. I got it. I definitely do. It’s pineapple! Ha! Haha! Ha. HA! Is it ambrosia salad?"

It’s called Pineapple Whip. Made in the likeness of Dole Whip, but I’m not certain what that is.

“Oh my god, I get it! They probably sell Dole Whip in Hawaii. I like it. It’s good. And I bet it would make a good iced tea, too. I’d say, uh, I give it a 9 because of its versatility. Pineapple Whip, eh? Everybody likes a whip sometime ;) "

I had no idea what a Dole Whip was prior to this tea, but drinking this blind, I couldn’t help but think pineapple-coconut-marshmallow fluff, or piña colada without the rum. It was so smooth with vibrant, joyful pineapple and soft creaminess. Awesome tea!

Got to try Dole Whip a few days ago. For the record, this tea is way better than it’s namesake!

Bio

This place, like the rest of the internet, is dead and overrun with bots. Yet I persist.

Eventual tea farmer. If you are a tea grower, want to grow your own plants or are simply curious, please follow me so we can chat.

I most enjoy loose-leaf, unflavored teas and tisanes. Teabags have their place. Some of my favorite teas have a profound effect on mind and body rather than having a specific flavor profile.

Favorite teas generally come from China (all provinces), Taiwan, India (Nilgiri and Manipur). Frequently enjoyed though less sipped are teas from Georgia, Japan, and Nepal. While I’m not actively on the hunt, a goal of mine is to try tea from every country that makes it available to the North American market. This is to gain a vague understanding of how Camellia sinensis performs in different climates. I realize that borders are arbitrary and some countries are huge with many climates and tea-growing regions.

I’m convinced European countries make the best herbal teas.

Personal Rating Scale:

100-90: A tea I can lose myself into. Something about it makes me slow down and appreciate not only the tea but all of life or a moment in time. If it’s a bagged or herbal tea, it’s of standout quality in comparison to similar items.

89-80: Fits my profile well enough to buy again.

79-70: Not a preferred tea. I might buy more or try a different harvest. Would gladly have a cup if offered.

69-60: Not necessarily a bad tea but one that I won’t buy again. Would have a cup if offered.

59-1: Lacking several elements, strangely clunky, possesses off flavor/aroma/texture or something about it makes me not want to finish.

Unrated: Haven’t made up my mind or some other reason. If it’s puerh, I likely think it needs more age.
