Green Tea Tropical

The tea that started me on tea. Fruity notes, stronger sweet aroma than flavor, but still enjoyable. Can withstand multiple brewings fairly well.

I’m hosting interviews again today, so it’s bagged tea and a thermos for the majority of the day. I picked this one out last night as I haven’t tried it for a good long while, and my recollection of it is hazy. As my first tea of the day, it wasn’t a bad choice! The tropical flavouring here is juicy and fresh, although quite generic. I’m pretty sure there’s pineapple and mango, although on the whole it tastes tastes like Um Bongo. Not that that’s a bad thing — it was a much loved drink of my childhood, after all. There’s a slight bitterness, although that’s probably at least partly my fault given the less than perfect brewing conditions. I’ll be giving it another go and revising my note later on, anyway.

This makes for a good thirst quenching drink, and is actually very pleasant on a warm day. I’ll have to remember to try it cold brewed in the summer as well. On the whole, recommended! I’ll hold back on a rating until I’ve tried this “properly” at home, though.

Despite containing pineapple as the fruit, Mighty Leaf Green Tea Tropical reminded me a lot of Kusmi Thé Vert à la Fraise. I wonder whether strawberries and pineapple are related somehow? So, yes, this is a fairly fruity-flavored green tea with probably a bancha base green tea. I’ll try another sachet soon to get a firmer idea of what may be this tea’s unique virtues…

My mom sent me a few sample of this tea. It smells really yummy and fruity. At first sip, it tasted a bit butter to me and the fruit wasn’t so strong. I added a little agave and it tastes sweeter and fruitier. I like it more than I do most green teas.

This tea is pretty good, but I was expecting a little less of the grassy green tea taste and a little more fruit. I find the fruit flavors to be subtle though it is definitely present. I have been drinking it as is without any sweetener. It is far from being a favorite of mine, but I have been enjoying it well enough.

It was better then I expected. The strong taste of green tea was softened by the taste of herbs. I overbrewed it a little bit and I thought that it will taste like veeery strong green tea. No, fortunately and surprisingly it was very pleasant. I liked it overall.

Another go to tea for me when I am out of Jasmine when having Asian food.

I had this tea at a crepe cafe and loved it. It tasted like fresh tropical fruits and light blend of green tea. I went home and bought a box of the tea bags (should have purchased teh loose tea) and it was rather dull. Not at all like the tea I remembered having at the cafe. I do not usually add anything to my teas, however, this tea is much better with a small hint of sugar to enhance the tropical notes. Good in the early morning or in the afternoon while knitting or reading.

Prepped for cold brewing the night before, perfectly chilled from the frig.

This is absolutely one of my favorite teas. The aroma from the bag alone makes me want to just breathe it in. The mix of tropical fruits and actual pieces like pineapple bits makes this a delicious entry tea into the world of green tea. Unlike others who have said they felt the green tea taste was too strong I find it to be a mellow backdrop for the fresh fruity flavors. Mighty Leaf teas are hand-picked, hand-crafted and placed in hand-sewn silken pouches so it’s important to go by the brewing instructions they provide.
