I have an August tasting box and am excited to go through each of the teas. Trying to remember to make notes so I know which ones to repurchase!
Silencio is interesting. The smell is a strong pineapple; I actually noticed the pineapple smell several rooms over in my house while it was steeping! It didn’t give the same pineapple taste, however. The original sip is fairly bitter, but the cacao smooths it out a bit in the aftertaste. I cannot begin to explain why it reminds me of a coffee cocktail – maybe just the combo of bitter and cacao?
The spice is there, but much more subtle than the packaging implies. I notice the pineapple flavor only really as it cools.
Bold, different, and kind of a warm & cozy tea, but ultimately not one I think I’d seek out for repurchase.
Flavors: Bitter, Cacao, Pineapple, Spicy
