Cherry Colada

Ahhh….sigh. This tea will carry you away to a tropical island. The leaves are strongly scented of cherry, pineapple and coconut. Makes me think of higher calorie blended beverages that are oh so sweet and delicious. The leaves are a medium length green, maybe a sencha? I’m pretty new to green teas, so not sure, and they weren’t listed.

The aroma is similar to the scent of the dry leaf, sweet and fruity. The taste is sweet, fruity and comes through with a strong green base. I’d like more coconut flavor in the blend, but it is definitely part of the blend. Great pairing for a green tea. I found I liked it better hot than iced. The flavors came through stronger in the hot version than in the iced.

Thanks LauraR for including some of this in the tea swap package:)

I believe this one was from Keen Thanks so much! It was a nice change from a straight-up colada as well as a nice twist on Tropical and Cherry! The flavor goes well with the green base and the colada or the coconut is upfront with the cherry as a close 2nd. Satisfying!

I received a package from LauraR today – thank you!!! – and had to jump right in with this one.
Mmmmm. The dry leaves smell really lovely, with cherry and coconut being the predominant smell but under that I can smell the other ingredients as well.

Wow. After steeping the tea smells mostly cherry with a little rum, but it tastes really, really lovely and I can taste the coconut as well as the cherry and rum. A little more pineapple might be nice though, but still a lovely tea.
