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.

The Pineapple was Silenced

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.

Online Rating - 2 (not so much that it is bad, it is just nothing like what was advertised)

Tea Snob Rating - 2 (not my cup of tea....)

Flavor Wheel Highlights - Intense 5 (CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE), Sweet 3, Bitter 3, Fruity 2. Spicy 2 (Black Pepper)

August Uncommon Tea

Thank you for your honest review Shea A. We're sorry you didn't enjoy Silencio. We apologize for any confusion over the spicy description of this tea. We use the spicy descriptor to describe flavors more than just chili-spicy. Spicy can describe warm spices like in chai, or black pepper in Silencio. We always encourage our customers to read the flavor note descriptions on our site, as well as our ingredients list. Our Customer Support Team will contact you shortly.

Very good sweet

I've tried this all ways, hot, cold, sweet, unsweet, and it's pretty good either way. The smell is absolutely fantastic though! Wish they made perfumes with this fragrance haha
