I got this tea as part of a “Tea of the Month” sample pack from my sister for Christmas, and decided to finally try it. Although this tea smells amazing I’ve been putting off trying it because of the reviews I’ve read being predominately negative.
Since its winter and I don’t particularly feel like iced tea at the moment, I decided to make hot tea with this, I steeped for seven minutes, which was probably my first mistake. (The package said 5-7 minutes, but I really should have known better)
First Sip: It definitely tastes tropical, and slightly bitter. However not as bitter as I was expecting based on the reviews. The tropical flavor is definitely stronger but not overpowering, I was expecting it to be a lot stronger because of how long I steeped it for. So far though, I like it enough.
After finishing: I actually didn’t mind this tea. I’ll have to try a few more cups (and experiment a little with steeping) before I make a final decision but it’s definitely not as bad as I was expecting.
