I had a hard time with this tea.
I love pineapple, and it’s so hard to find pineapple without coconut. I was delighted to see this tea when I opened the advent pouch. But the scent of the dry leaf immediately told me to temper my expectations.
There’s something really harsh about the scent. My partner said it was just a strong pineapple/spearmint smell, but to me it almost seemed like the pineapple had begun to turn? Just a little bit of old/fermented scent, and it didn’t go away for me when steeping (though thankfully the whole blend was not quite as potent brewed). Such a shame – I wanted to love this.

I love pineapple, but I absolutely detest it in tea. 9 times out of 10 it comes across (sorry) vomity to me.
Ooh that’s interesting and also absolutely awful! That would be a horrid thing to have sneak up on you in a tea.
Are you sure it’s the pinapple and not the coconut that often accompanies pineapple in tea? Even slightly-off coconut in tea tastes exactly like vom to me.
Yep, definitely the pineapple. I love coconut in teas, lol.
