Like a gentle breeze of tropical fruits, this brisk Assam black tea is a soothing combination of golden pineapple, sweet ginger, lemongrass and sweet creamy coconut. Brisk and bold, softly sweet and gentle, and uncommonly delicious. CONTAINS NUTS
Spicy infusion with citrus undertones.
Yipeee! Wahooooo! I love getting tea packages in the mail! My wonderful UPS delivery man dropped off my new Teavana teas while I was at work this morning. What a delight to come home and have new teas to play with. Being it a very early morning, I’m 12 hours into the day already, I debated between the Assam Breeze and the JavaVana Mate. The fruityness in this tea won out.
Upon opening the plastic pouch of tea, I was surrounded in a tropical explosion of pineapple and coconut and something with a sour note to it, maybe the lemongrass?
I steeped up a pot of this with boiling water for 3 minutes. The scent of the pineapple and lemongrass grew stronger. The sour note turned to sweet.
In taste, this is quite a light tea, the fruit flavor melds into one sweet pineapple lemon tart flavor with a subtle black tea base. The coconut and ginger are very mild, but there is a slight warming feeling upon drinking this tea that I am holding the ginger accountable for.
Next time I will steep this for longer than 3 minutes and use more leaf. It needs more oomph.
I need a blindfold. Sweet pineapple lemon tart? Nom.
