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.

This tea has a very interesting flavor. It didn’t taste like straight up pineapple but it did remind me of buttered popcorn jelly bellies and I wasn’t mad about it. It brought back some nostalgia for me. I have enjoyed this tea a few times and I like it best over ice.
This has to be my favorite tea by August. Yes, even more than Low Country but not by much. I just love the pineapple and pepper accenting this strong black tea. It's a knockout
Great tasting tea but needs the pineapple to be a little stronger
I love this flavor! It's my favorite so far.
I was so disappointed by this one. I was expecting a jalapeno pineapple mocktail like tea and what I got was a peppery chocolate covered dried pineapple tea, emphasis on chocolate. I've really have to start checking the ingredients before purchasing August Uncommon. No where on the front of the packaging does it mention chocolate yet that was the most significant flavor I got from this tea. Pineapple feels like almost an afterthought because it is so subtle. I was really looking forward to this one and yet it is another chocolate tea.
