Second cup of the day, heading to the mall once I can pull my boyfriend away from working on our design project lol. I only have one cup left of this one, I was going to put it all in and do a sipdown, but it would be a lot all at once haha. So an almost sipdown lol. Light and sweet, I will probably miss this one more than I think once it’s gone. See previous notes :)

I LOVE THIS TEA! It’s a beautiful, sincere, delicious cup of white/green tea. You can taste the beautiful buttery-ness of white tea along with the gorgeous vanilla flavor that goes along with it. I love this tea and I highly recommend it! I’m actually going to go back and get a second cup here very soon!! :)

Thank you Janelle for sharing with me this lovely cup, especially as it’s no longer available. This also happens to be a sipdown, since I had just enough for a 12 ounce cup. (434)

So Janelle put on the bag this should be steeped at 150F (really?!) and for 1-3 minutes. I only saw the super low temp after I steeped it (silly me) so I removed it just under three minutes in turn. Sigh. Wish I was paying more attention.

Straight, I got plain buttery green tea out of this. That’s it. With a touch of sweetener, I’m getting plain buttery green tea yet again, this time with a hint of something vanilla and bright. It’s a nice, pleasant cup, and I’m glad I’ve tried it, however I’m missing the WOW factor that many of you seem to have felt with it.

On the ninth day of Christmas, D’Terra Teas sent me this tea!

I liked this one a lot! Although that seems to be becoming a theme with me when it comes to D’Terra teas.

This one is sweet, creamy and light. A great tea with which to relax. I love the combination of pineapple and vanilla! YUM!

Backlog. Light, fruity pineapple is emerging first, followed by a delicious creaminess.

By far the most pineappley tea I have ever tasted! And the creaminess makes me think a mature, sophisticated version of a pina colada, but without the calories. This may be a tea I pick up more of (even if it’s only another Try Me size, just to have some around).

Second infusion in half the water was also quite tasty.

Thanks LIberteas – Vanilla, Pineapple, Peppercorns – creative and ballsy flavor combo but it worked lovely here! Almonds and apple bits, too! Excellent! All with a green and white tea blend! Brilliant! And YUM, might I add!

This is my second Della Terra Teas blend that I am trying, thanks to KittyLovesTea! This tea has big, fluffy green tea leaves with small red berries and pieces of dried pineapple. Not surprisingly, the leaves smell lightly of pineapple. This tea is the lightest shade of pale yellow, almost clear. Wow, the flavor is very much of a true pineapple taste. There is a little hint of vanilla at the beginning, and a clear pineapple aftertaste. The flavor isn’t overly sweet, just a fresh pineapple taste. This tea has really surprised me, since I usually don’t get this excited about white teas. If all of Della Terra Teas are this amazing it looks like I will be placing an order very soon!

-Dry blend has large fluffy green tea leaves, small red berries and pieces of dried pineapple.
-Dry leaves smell lightly of pineapple. Tea liquor aroma is of earthy pineapple and vanilla.
-Tea liquor is a clear very pale yellow color.
-Smooth vanilla and pineapple flavor and finish. True pineapple aftertaste that lingers.
-Best with sweetener.
-Very good tea. Authentic flavor of fresh pineapple. Not overly sweet.

Trying out the last of my teas from JennyFur today. I steeped 3 tsp in 16 oz, added a small squeeze of honey, and refrigerated overnight. The vanilla was pretty smooth and by far the strongest flavor. There was a very slight tartness from the apple and pineapple, but I couldn’t pick out their individual flavors. Overall, I found this to be a very simple and pleasant white tea, but nothing special.

I decided to finish some older samples up today. This is still one of my top 3 faves from Della Terra. Too bad it is unavailable currently. Mostly pineappley with a hint of vanilla and lots of tasty light tea flavor :)

ick. Backlog from earlier so not too sure what i recall, but i do not this wasn’t all that tasty or refreshing. I’m going to try it as a cold brew and see if that helps, otherwise, into the swap box it goes. there is a pineappley taste to this but its slightly artificial and now what i hoped it would be.
