Spa Day

Old sipdown #15. I vaguely remember this tea as being reasonably tasty, but not enough to have purchased more. It was heavier on the pineapple, coconut, and lemongrass, without really any mango. I must remember this only because it’s a tea that sounds really tasty to me?

This tea is delicious! My mother gave me some teas as she doesn’t drink tea much anymore. I found this treasure in the bag she gave me. I totally want more of this blend! I will cherish what little I have left of it. Tastes like pineapple, coconut and lemongrass combined. Truly a heavenly combo.

Sample from TeainSpoons. Thank you!

This tastes mostly of lemongrass, with an additional light fruitiness. The only way I’ve really enjoyed lemongrass in the past is mixed with anise, so this isn’t quite my cup of tea.

I love this tea. Tastes exactly like a pina colada. Make sure to let it steep long enough to bring out the creaminess. Wonderful for dessert or even a mid-morning pick-me-up when you don’t want caffeine.

Mehh…. I don’t know if I like it or not…. It is too heavy on the coconut for me, almost like drinking coconut water, which I don’t like. I have yet to try it hot. It sure is a very tropical tea.

This is a very pleasant afternoon tea. The lemongrass and coconut blend quite nicely creating a natural creaminess. The pineapple flavour is faint, more of an afterthought, but a nice finish on the palate nonetheless. Best to finish it before it cools though, I wasn’t a fan of it cold.

I’m sitting here at work wondering why in hell I thought it was a good idea to ride my bike to work today. It feels like 32 out. It’s humid and sunny. And I’m still fighting off a cold. As soon as I got in the building I quickly downed my iced Electric Lemonade.
I refilled my travel cup with ice cold water and tossed in a tea bag of Spa Day. I’d rather steep it hot and then ice it but sometimes we just have to make due. (First world problem)
I didn’t let it sit long because I was still badly in need of rehydration. The beautiful taste was already there. A creamy coconut, with a touch of lemongrass. It does in fact remind me of being at my favourite spa.
This tea is really nice cold. I’ll have to wait to find out whether I like it hot or not.
(Wow – look at how much thought I put into this log vs. the ones I’ve written at home)

I bought Spa Day during the mother’s day special. This lightly pineapple tea is a good summery drink, but I do not care for it, it smells and tastes like a body butter. There’s a old aftertaste that is almost a stale flavour.

I was so excited to try this. But it is by far the worst tea I have ever had. To me it tasted like mango hand cream, very floral and sweet tasting.

This is definitely a sweet, decadent, relaxing tea, and fitting for its Spa Day name. I took a whiff of the dry leaf and was sold immediately. I got this iced with no milk or sugar. The mango flavor is juicy in smell in taste, truly irresistible. Pair that mango with the slightly tart pineapple and lemongrass is divine and keeps it from being too sweet. Thankfully, the coconut is not so prevalent, as it can have an overpowering soapy, nutty in other blends if overbrewed; in this blend is adds just a gentle creaminess. Probably too sweet to be in my rotation all the time, but it might find its way into my cupboard for some summer iced tea in the coming weeks.
