Special Pina Colada Green

Frank was right … this IS amazing! I think I might even like this one better than the honeybush Pina Colada! The green tea tastes so smooth and crisp and wonderful.

It tastes so good that I wish I had ordered 2 packages instead of just one.

I do hope this week’s release will publish soon … I’m tired of stalking the 52Teas website.

Yum! Just tried this and its awesome!! It is creamy and tropical and delicious! It also has a wonderful green tea flavor. This tea is seriously amazing. I ended up doing two infusions and they were both so yummy!
Also I swear the pineapple in this tea rivals the giant blueberries in the cream cheese danish blueberry tea. They are seriously gigantic! I haven’t tried the honeybush version but if it tastes anything like this one I bet it is amazing too!!

Wow I placed my order for this I think Tues night or Wed and I already have it and am drinking a cup. That is the fasted I have ever received Frank’s delicious blends!
This tea is AMAZING!!! I personally like the green tea base better with this than the honeybush. I have another favorite pineapple green tea but this one is rivaling that one because this has yummy pineapple and coconut with a super good green tea base. Only sad part is I wish I ordered more than the one pouch! Frank you are awesome with your tea blends. Now if you could only do a Smore’s tea with chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker flavor…. but one request no lapsang in it! Maybe a honeybush base! Please Please Please! ;)

WOW this is AMAZING! Very delicious, sweet tropical flavors helped bring back memories of hot nights on the beach sipping Piña Coladas. The pineapple and coconut pieces were huge. I think I like this better than the Honeybush verison. I feel the flavor of the fruits are able to come through better with the green base. In all I recommend it. Very nice.

Made up a half gallon of this iced – steeped 4 tsp. in 4 cups of leaves, then resteeped in another 4 cups to get that half gallon. Added some honey to sweeten.

This is not bad iced – it certainly tastes very much like the pineapple and coconut shavings that were in it. The honey nicely sweetens and compliments the tea (I cannot put granulated sugar in a green tea – it just…seems wrong) and it is very refreshing.

I’m not sure I can drink this with meals, though – it seems more of a stand alone beverage. Luckily it’s getting hot enough that I’ll be needing something to keep cool in the afternoons…

I have a head cold and can hardly taste a thing, and this is still awesome. I honestly don’t know how, because I don’t like pina coladas much, and I really don’t like pineapple. But as a tea, slightly softer than the cocktail version, I like it quite a bit. It’s helping to make me feel less like falling onto my couch and not getting up again for hours. If it tastes this good when my nose is stuffed up, I have high hopes for it in a few days! Delicious.

WOW, talk about a great tea… I have the honeybush version and when you open up the package it smells the same… smells like pineapple and coconut and rum, how can you go wrong with that!

I wanted to have this iced so I doubled up on the serving as usual… and that is how I had the honeybush as well. This is soooooo good, the first sip is crisp and cool with the flavors of pineapple and then the coconut that hit your tongue. It is a bit creamy but less so than the honeybush. It is very juicy and great thirst quencher! It is an awesome drink.

Comparing the two the honeybush is a bit sweeter with more creaminess, the coconut is more prominent. Now the green tea one is more refreshing and crisp, I can taste the pineapple more. Both are wonderful and it just depends on what you are in the mood for!

Rain for the last three days, and with a short break almost the whole week before that. Storms too but nothing as bad as our friends and family in Alabama. This morning, I needed to think sunny thoughts. I neede to imagine the warmth of the sun so a sample of this from QG did the trick. It was my first pot of the day.
As for the review, the pineapple is on first, the coconut playing second, and the green tea coming in as a closer in the later innings. (Go Cubs!) I would have liked a bit more coconut and even some cherry, but alas, I am just being picky. This is yet another creative and tasty blend from 52 Teas.

The first time I tried this, I must have done something wrong… The was overloaded by the combination of flavors and it just made me ill. I had tried it hot and really could not bring myself to do so again.

On my second try, I made iced tea. I brewed the leaves at double-strength and then poured the tea over ice. This was much better. I got a lot nice sweet balance between the coconut and pineapple flavors and the green tea. So, this isn’t my favorite tea, but it’s fairly refreshing iced.

This was lovely! I don’t typically drink a ton of green tea, but it made the perfect base for a pina colada inspired blend. And the flavoring here was spot-on: beautifully balanced creamy coconut with juicy pineapple and not too artificial or cloying. I think this would be a lovely summer iced tea!
