In the mood for something new and refreshing, I decided to brew and sample Green Tea Tropical. I have been drinking so much white tea that I was in need of a change – fast! Nothing is more exciting than trying a new brew! Tea that is…
Composition: A Chinese green tea blend with pineapple, guava, and flowers.
Dry Visual: Green Tea Tropical is a loose tea in a silken tea bag. Check out the picture I pulled from the Mighty Leaf website – isn’t that teabag pretty cool looking! The visual was not as clear as I would like, but this tea was a burst of color – predominantly green with reds, blues, and yellows interspersed.
Dry Aroma: Absolutely delicious! If I could eat the dry tea leave whole I would if the taste equalled the smell…
Flavor: Stronger than I anticipated, Green Tea Tropical did not have the vegetal taste that accompanies many green teas. Very robust the tropical flavors of pineapple and guava are predominant in this brew with more subtle floral hints. Green Tea Tropical was accompanied by a tartness that required the addition of a sweetener to round out. My sweetener of choice was Sugar In The Raw – I did not want to alter the taste by using honey. Perhaps if brewed for slightly less time than the recommended time the tartness would be less pronounced.
Liquor: A rich amber.
Brewing Time: Recommended brewing time is 3 minutes. I brewed for the recommended 3 minutes.
Manufacturer: Mighty Leaf Tea
Caffeine: Yes
Minus the tartness, Green Tea Tropical is a fantastic summertime tea. I look forward to the opportunity to brew and drink as an iced tea. Possibly even serve with a slice of fresh pineapple floating in the glass. This would no doubt transport me to a tropical paradise.
I found that the second steeping didn’t have that. However, that was in the winter, so it could have been a different harvest.
Btw, could you please please answer my email? Thanks!
Hey Summer!
Thanks for your comments about the Green Tea Tropical.
Also, I sent responses to both of your emails the same day they were received. I don’t know why they are getting lost in cyberspace. Going off the top of my head – your question was about the number of samples I believe – if so, your understanding is correct.
I’ll have to see what’s going on with my email.
Nicely done. I like the site and I’ve actually tasted this Mighty Leaf tea too.
You’re right on the tartness if it’s steeped to long…at least I found the same. It never works out if I go to do something for just 1-minute then come back to take the tea out.
All the best,
Mark
Hey Mark!
Thanks for visiting and commenting. I look forward to chatting with you more in the future.
Green Tea Tropical… I think I’ll steep for 2 minutes to see what happens. Also, I wonder if my water was too hot.
Healthy cells are also promoted by drinking tea. There are still other health benefits that you can take advantage. You see, if you drink green tea, you can prevent heart diseases, cancer, and other health problems. Those who often get sick should take tea in order to boost the immune system’s health. People with weight problems can also take green tea instead of water and juices to reduce weight since the tea can suppress appetite. You can take it anytime you like, before meals, during, and after meals.
