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.

As Seen On
This is the third time I've ordered this in the 70 cup size. It has a distinctive and nice, slightly smokey & pineapple taste that is different from most other black teas.
I enjoyed this tea plain, iced, with sugar and/or cream. It's better the more often I brew it. Some teas take several tries to either get it right or leave for just sometimes. I've been having it daily now, because the more I try it, the better I like it.
The flavors are very subtle. I had to do an extra long steep to detect the tobacco. The pineapple I could only taste when I added a sweetener, and even then very faint. Not compelled to buy it again, but still a tasty black tea.
The sweetness of the pineapple and the spice of the pepper go hand-in-hand together, so tasty!
Delicious tea as are all August teas. Real boost to get me going in the morning.
