This one was alright for the most part. I’ve only tried it iced and it was more quintessentially “tropical” than what I anticipated, especially considering that this contains melon and rhubarb. Watermelon is in the spotlight with each initial sip, and then the pineapple and coconut follow afterwards. The rhubarb is buried underneath, unfortunately. Was hoping for more of that awesomeness. Finally, it’s the coconut that lingers in the mouth. The type of coconut is more like an artificial coconut water than the pulp. And of course, this is one of those white teas that has so much other stuff going on that you can’t even taste the actual white tea base.
I can see why people would enjoy this on a hot day but I don’t feel compelled enough to have it again.

That’s the way I’ve always felt about flavored coffees, and what kept my from tea for so long. It seemed to be more about the additives than the base. Having discovered the beauty of the many varieties of tea itself, I am learning more about all there is to appreciate in tea.
A good blend though can be awesome. Laoshan Chai from Verdant Tea was always really good. They don’t make blends anymore though. Straight Laoshan black though always tastes like chocolate.
Yeah, sometimes additives can be nice but in moderation, but there’s definitely nothing like a beautiful straight black. Verdant’s LB is a great example.
And I totally didn’t know that they weren’t making blends anymore. It’s been so many years since I placed an order with them.
