From Chroma Tea

Tropical herbal tisane blended with cinnamon, pineapple, lemongrass. coconut, orange peel, turmeric, vanilla, and yuzu oil.

Sunburst is a joyous celebration of sunny days and sweet air carrying the scent of tropical flowers, ready to kick back and take it all in.

We use dried (not sweetened!) pineapple and coconut for no added sugar, while still giving Sunburst a sweet, rich flavor with fine Madagascar vanilla and juicy yuzu. The result is a tropical tea as good hot as it is iced.

I tried this hot and was not a fan. I don’t recall why, but I thought it would be good cold steeped so I dumped the entire bag into a mason jar and stuck it in the fridge for a few days. This mix is really frustrating because the pineapple bits are huge and light, so they rise to the top of the bag and all the other ingredients fall to the bottom. It was hard to get my spoon past the pineapple and get an even mix of ingredients, so I think the dump it all in the mason jar was really the right way to go.
It’s has a very bright and cheery taste. The sip is juicy, fruity and tangy. Pineapple is woven with the lemongrass. As those flavors fade, the cinnamon pops out. I wasn’t getting cinnamon in the hot cup at all. I didn’t think I really liked it at first, but the more I sip the more I appreciate this. I’m not sure if it’s something I’d buy again, but it is something I’m enjoying. My only regret is not saving it for warmer months when I want something cool and refreshing to enjoy.

Sipdown! (22 | 22)

So, this one is fine. It’s mostly pineapple, so it mostly tastes like pineapple. There’s a bit of coconut as well, and a bit of cinnamon. But I don’t taste the vanilla or the turmeric, and certainly not the yuzu. Also, what an annoying tisane to try to portion out – the pineapple chunks are massive and everything else is tiny, so I had to dump it into another container to try to get a good distribution of ingredients.

Also, this was another pouch that was blended in mid-2020, which makes me a bit nervous for a fruit tisane with coconut? This last cup did taste a bit soapy, so I wonder if the coconut had started to go a bit rancid. Anyway, not something I would reorder, but I don’t tend to order fruit tisanes in the first place.

ETA – Also just noticing the photo and mine looked nothing like that, it was probably 90% giant pineapple chunks with some bits of cinnamon at the bottom of the bag…

I just got a bag of this in an order and it also had giant pineapple chunks on the top half of the bag. Very difficult to get a good mix of all the ingredients.

Figured I should open this and drink it before the last hot days of the year fade away — praise the glorb!

I’m with Roswell Strange here — this is a really unique blend! Ros had a few great descriptions that mirrored my experience and I agree that this tastes Thai-inspired, almost like a pineapple curry? It tastes so natural without any added flavoring.

I feel sunshine, warmth, happiness, a lightness of being with a groundedness from the turmeric. The coconut gives such a nice barely there fatty mouthfeel, and when combined with vanilla, softens any sharp edges the unsweetened pineapple, lemongrass and yuzu oil might have. The cinnamon reminds me of the feeling of sun-warmed skin.

I ate all the pineapple afterward <3

You ate the spent pineapple? Waste-not, want-not! Reminds me of the folks who eat their dragonwell leaf, post-steep! I suppose anything is better than rooibos!

derk

I can imagine the misery of a mouthful of rooibos.

I’ve really enjoyed trying Chroma’s blends. I’ve had this one for quite awhile, but just got around to trying it today.

It’s really beautiful and has giant pineapple chunks.

I think I need to try this again before giving it a rating- I mostly tasted cinnamon and some generic citrus flavor, despite the large pineapple chunks. The ration in my scoop must’ve been off.

Chai Tournament: Sunburst (Chroma) v Warrior Princess (the tea girl)

Preparation: Western
Tasting Note: So I may have oversteeped this one, this cup tastes pretty gingery hot. I forgot to put on a timer when I started the steep.

However, when the tea cooled down more of the fruit flavors, cinnamon and lemongrass came out more and was more well rounded. Overall, I think the tea is pretty good when it is cooled down.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Pineapple

Preparation
Boiling 6 min, 30 sec 3 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Cold Brew!

This is my favourite from Chroma so far – this is another blend with impressively beautiful and chunky ingredients; in this case those gorgeous pineapple wedges!! I loved the mix of creamy coconut, earthy turmeric, warming cinnamon, and tropical fruits like pineapple and citrus – it sort of felt like a tisane with loose Thai inspirations, and was very refreshing!!
