Steel pan drums come to a pina colada crescendo on this island paradise of fruit and mate. The Caribbean’s flair is captured with juicy sweet mango, pineapple and red delicious apples added to toasted coconut and zesty lemongrass. Refreshing and delicious served hot or chilling over cubes of cold ice. SUPERFRUIT ENHANCED CONTAINS NUTS
Light and zesty mango, pineapple, and toasted coconut
I have never ever tried any Mate type teas before…
1st smell steeped. Truthfully the smell was a bit off putting. It smelled really grassy. And not even a sweet grassy smell.
1st taste: Not bad really. It almost tastes like it has mint in it….might be the lemongrass. I know that might sound weird, but lemongrass has some of the fresh, reviving taste to it that mint does to me, so that is probably why I am associating the two. Note: Because I have never had a Mate tea before, I decided to go lower then the recommended temp (Teavana’s recommended temp is 208.) I went with the ‘French Press’ setting on my kettle, 200. I think next time I will try it at Boiling, see how it handles. I suspect I might like it better.
The flavor profile is amazing. It is a great tea served both hot and cold, I would suggest it to anyone who wants that energy boost in the morning.
it has the classic coconut-lemon combination, enhanced with lots of ginger and sweetened with Caribbean fruits like mango and pineapple.
This tea is fantastically refreshing when served cold, and throat-soothing served warm. From personal experience, I find this this tea is hard to over-steep! It seems to progressively taste better the longer you steep it. So if you’re the kind of person who never reads/follows brewing instructions, then this will be a great tea for you! Hahaha
I’m unclear how I feel about this tea… On it’s own, I wasn’t really a fan. I found it a bit tart and even bitter (which is hard to do with a Mate). However, one of my favourite iced teas is Caribbean Calypso blended with Citrus Lavender Sage. When I’m looking for a fruity kick of energy, this is what I order. I had planned on buying the tea and bringing it home, but never did because I don’t seem to like it on it’s own? I finished the cup, but it isn’t something I would put effort in to purchasing and bringing home. Perhaps this confirms my “I don’t love tea with coconut in them” theory?
This is my go-to morning tea; just purchased a pound of it for myself while it was on sale. This tea is really stellar when brewed in a traditional gourd. Leaving it in the gourd really brings out the ginger flavour which can get a bit… I dunno it’s just not quite there when steeping it like tea (as maté is not technically tea). It also has a wonderful natural sweetness, and the lemongrass is refreshing. Makes a fantastic iced tea. Couple of cups of this keeps me going all day.
