I’d only tried one of these National Park Collection teas, and really enjoyed it, so I figured it was time to sample some of the other ones. So I picked this one out at random to try. Pineapple and spearmint sounds good!
It’s tasty, but I would like more pineapple! The pineapple here is very soft and is more of an accent to the spearmint flavor. I do like the spearmint, and it’s not too strong. Sometimes spearmint can taste like chewing gum, but it’s just soft and refreshing here. The base tea is a little musty with some hay notes, which actually goes rather well with the herbaceous spearmint.
This probably isn’t one that I would reorder, just because there’s not quite enough pineapple here for me. But I’ll happily finish off the rest of the sample pouch! :)
Flavors: Hay, Herbaceous, Mint, Musty, Pineapple, Smooth, Spearmint, Sweet

Ah. My problem with the gift sets is that, at least with the author’s collection, many of the blends are “missing” from the set and they don’t offer small sizes separately, not even for the missing ones. :-(
In this case, there are only 8 teas so it is all of them, but you’re right that that’s not the case for some of the other ones.
Ohhhh you had me at National Park… and now I’ve placed an order. I’m such a sucker for packaging
These have the prettiest labels ever!
Wait, did they start making these in sampler sizes?
I think you can only get the smaller size if you buy the whole gift set of 8 teas…

I would place the order for their national park series, if only the shipping… I am afraid it being approximately same price as for the tea! Their labels rocks!
Too bad they offer mostly 4 oz of each (if not gift set)… that’s a bit too much for trying out.
