Golden Mojito

writing the first note on this…huh

I’ve had this a couple times now, iced, but today I was curious to see how it’d be hot. It’s not bad at all, I might actually like it better this way.

This is strongly citrusy, mostly lime, and then there’s hints of pineapple. It’s got the right amount of mint. Only thing I don’t like is that it seems oddly thick.

It’s just a bummer it’s soooo expensive because I like it way better than the other mojito tea I have, which I believe is also a white tea.

Yet another from TeaTiff! I’m really enjoying all the teas you sent in our swap today. I had doubts about this one based on my previous experiences with Teavana, but this is like night and day with the other blends I’ve tried. It’s not sweetened at all, the fruit doesn’t take over (I can clearly taste the white tea in this, which is a first), and all the flavors are well-balanced. I’ve never had a mojito, but I have smelled them and this tastes exactly how they smell—citrus and mint. The only problem I have with this is that I can’t taste as much pineapple as I’d like. When I see “three kinds of x” I want to taste it! Still a good(!) cup.

This brews up to a light tan color. It tastes like citrus and mint. I am not tasting the “three types of pineapple” or any pineapple for that matter. I do taste the orange in the finish/aftertaste. Not bad. Not very inspiring either. Might be a good one for me to try iced. Won’t buy more after my “sample” is finished (in quotation marks because Teavana won’t let you purchase less than 2 oz)

I really like this tea. I sweeten it often, but I’m not sure why. It tastes great without sugar (using honey tastes weird though). I think what makes it really unique is its ability to taste good at any temperature. I will often take this tea in a non-microwave-safe travel mug to work and be too busy to finish it while it’s still hot. Even in that room temperature too-warm-for-iced but too-cold-for-hot tea zone, it tastes wonderful.

Omgoodness, I forgot I had this tea (the hubby insists on keeping it in the tea chest it came in, instead of out on the shelf with all the other tea… le sigh). I decided to dig it out this morning with breakfast, and it was the perfect fruity minty deliciousness to start the day with. The white tea added a wonderful soft mouthfeel, the orange and pineapple were tangy and sweet, and the mint was just detectable, not in your face.

So I have a confession: I am a fluent Spanish speaker and have my own yerba buena plant (the traditional mint for mojitos) but never have I ever had a mojito:P Yep. So there’s that:P I’m not entirely sure what this is suposeddd to taste like (besides knowing that it has mint and lime in it)… but I can tell you that it tastes pretty darn delicious:D

This tea is quite strong on the citrus note that is heavy on lime with a few hints of pineapple sneaking in there. There is just the right amount of mint to balance out the citrus. The fruit doesn’t take over as I can distinctly taste the lightness of the white tea, which I rather enjoy. When it is iced, it loses that odd thickness that it seems to have and is very refreshing. A lovely, sweet mint tea.

Sipdown!! (163)

Thank you Allie for the sample of this tea. I dumped the whole bag into my nordic mug and brewed up the cup. I did not expect much from this being a Teavana tea which is good because it is just okay for my tastes. Every now and then I get a hint of nice pineapple flavor but mostly I just find it to be thicker than it needs to be and a touch too citrus. I am always happy to try new things but I am not sad to see this go.

I got this tea for 75% off b/c Teavana was no longer offering it. At first, i didn’t like it too much b/c I felt it was a little too oily tasting and I couldn’t taste any fruit. However, when I had it iced, i was in love. I then can taste most of the components and found it very refreshing. Too bad it’s no longer offered b/c i would definately will buy it again.

Light, sweet and minty. I honestly don’t taste much more than the citrus of the fruit combination, but mixed with a little sweetener, this is a lovely sweet mint tea.

This tea is no longer available from Teavana and I am somewhat sad. This tea is nothing extraordinary, but for some reason I really like this tea before bed. The combo of the citrus, pineapple, and mint for me is really nice. It is very light, but the flavor comes through enough for me. Every sip is very calming. I like the little bit of sweet I get out of each sip and the warm fuzzy it gives my stomach.

I will have to savor the last bit of this that I own. I did see that they now have a citrus/mint/green tea. Maybe this will be a nice replacement or maybe there is a equally nice blend out there somewhere on the world wide web.
