Silencio: Spicy Pineapple Black Tea

$13.75
Size

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.

Favorite tea!

Spicy is not a word I would use to describe this tea at all. I would describe it as delicious, slightly sweet from the pineapple and complex from the rest. It is my favorite of all their teas, that I have tried, and they have some good ones! Don't be scared off by the spicy name!

Wow! Not sure how I never had Silencio before! As soon as I tasted the sample I received, I had to order! So delicious! A little slash of french vanilla creamer and it's perfect!
