(DavidsTea 87)
I always seem not to realize that these cold brew teas DT is releasing are actually totally distinct teas, and not just the regular lineup. Saw this on sale, realized it was something different, and bought the “pop-can” tin, which is kind of cute.
This tea is pretty tasty – I cold brewed it overnight and it really tastes (and smells) like a pina colada, though obviously not so sweet. It is somewhat sweet though, I’m thinking from the pineapple. Lots of coconut, plenty of pineapple. It reminds me a lot of pina colada mixes, which I enjoy but haven’t had in ages.
Surprised at how much I like this. Tempted to get more, except coconut. I wonder if putting coconut teas in the freezer is effective?
I bought the pop can tin of this despite never trying it because the packaging was just so cute. Probably a terrible plan but this didn’t have stevia and seemed like an alright mix of ingredients so I went for it. Drinking it now after 24 hours of cold brewing, I am thankful to report it’s quite nice. It’s not my favourite and if not for the tin, I likely wouldn’t have bought as much as I have but it should be easy enough to drink up what I have now.
I get a pineapple punch and aftertaste with coconut popping up in the middle of the sip with flavor and creaminess that’s stays on the tongue. It’s not lotion-y and doesn’t complete cover up the black tea base. It really is quite nice.
Despite this being a cold brew tea I decided to make it hot. If you’re into Pina Colada type of flavours, it’s a beautiful tea. The perfect sweet but not tangy/sour/tart pineapple flavour with a suuuuppppeeerrr silky and creamy coconut and a nice malty and full bodied black tea. It’s just as good hot as it is iced.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
I love coconut teas but have pretty much stopped buying them completely since they always go bad before I can drink them. If the freezer works, i wouldn’t be above that…
I have many, many coconut teas. I really do wonder about the freezer… not that I have that much space though.
You could always buy a fresh coconut tea you know goes bad quickly (from past experience) and pop it in the freezer as an experiment?
