I saved a tiny sample of this tea from a previous tea box. It smelled like old coconut even back then, so I probably should have made an effort to use it up more quickly. The flavor was mostly old coconut as well, but just old as in stale/soapy, not as in rancid. The black base is gentle. I’m sure this tea was quite nice in its prime. It certainly wasn’t unpleasant to drink today.
TTB #6
This is completely different from other pina colada flavored teas I’ve tried. Usually the coconut is the dominant flavor, but this one has a very distinctive pineapple taste with a nice creaminess coming from the coconut. It also has an interesting buttery mouthfeel which is reminding me of an oolong, even though it’s actually a black tea. It’s unique and I like it!
Flavors: Butter, Coconut, Creamy, Pineapple, Smooth
From TTB 2019/2020.
This is a really nice tea! My husband had a cup earlier this week and didn’t care for it, but he’s not really a black tea drinker so I should have known I would like it. We typically like opposite teas. The dry blend smells mostly of pineapple, but I can taste some of the coconut after steeping. The base is strong but not overpowering. It really is such a pleasant cup, maybe one of my favorites in the box so far.
Flavors: Coconut, Pineapple, Tannic
Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge – July Tea #1 -A pineapple tea
Yesterday was pina colada day, so I guess I forced myself to sipdown this tea that I will miss terribly. I left a little bit of dry leaf in the bag so I could remember what it looked like, as I THINK this blend is one of these: https://www.steepster.com/teas/special-tea-company/92378-pina-colada-black OR https://www.steepster.com/teas/special-tea-company/92377-pineapple-coconut-black So maybe I will drink this again one day. This had such a nice balance of coconut and pineapple! But if anyone has any of this (no matter how old) that they would like to pass to me, let me know!

Had an old favourite with some good friends tonight. Sad that it’s discontinued, but glad I stocked up! Fruity black tea, but with a creaminess you don’t often get from fruit teas.
On another note, excited to try all the new teas just received! Hoping and praying my sense of taste comes back soon so I can fully enjoy them!
I have actually been trying to hunt down this very tea yesterday. haha I LOVED it from a teabox. I THINK it might be this one, but don’t quote me on it? https://specialteacompany.com/product/pineapple-coconut-black-tea/
Oh awesome! Yeah, I didn’t expect to enjoy this one, but there was something surprisingly enticing about it!
