Tastes Like: ripe pineapple, black pepper, cocoa bean
Feels Like: a cuban bolero

The climate of the Cuban coast is gripping. The scent of sweet tropical flowers hangs heavy in the air. This tea envelops you with cocoa-scented orchid and a hint of warm tobacco. As you sip, the earthy aroma yields to juicy, sun-ripened pineapple. It finishes on a deep peppery note. A touch of milk mellows its spiciness and brings out the floral sweetness of pineapple. This is a place where everything conspires to make time pass in slowness, enchanted with nostalgia.

    Spicy Pineapple - Bitter?

    Not sure if it was the cigar leaf but I love pineapple and I just felt it was overwhelmed by the leaf maybe.
