This week’s Tea of the Week is brought to you by Linda R. who emailed me and requested: “Frank, I’d love it if you could do something with mango and pineapple for the summer – maybe with a honeybush or a green rooibos, or even a green tea. Thanks!”

It’s an interesting tea, I enjoyed it.
This tea smells so good, omg it’s awesome. Flavour-wise, although I am enjoying it, I do seem to find it lacking. I am having it warm, and I feel like this one’s really meant to be had iced. Adding sweetener did nothing to enhance the flavour. All in all, not a bad tea, but I’ve had better.
