Oh, and this week’s amazing tea?  How about a honeybush with freeze-dried orange and pineapple bits and organic pineapple and orange flavors?  I think it’s a nice refreshing tea for the start of spring.

Taster’s Review:

Orange Pineapple Honeybush:  it almost sounds like a breakfast juice or a smoothie rather than a tisane, doesn’t it?  And when it’s served cold, it almost tastes like a smoothie or a fruit juice.

The orange and pineapple are sweet and tangy, and after I take a sip, my taste buds seem to perk up and take notice of the bright fruit flavors.  I find that the orange and pineapple seem pretty even, with more orange notes coming forward during the beginning of the sip and more pineapple emerging toward the finish and into the aftertaste.

I don’t taste a lot of honeybush and I don’t really mind that because I’d rather taste the orange and pineapple versus the honeybush anyway.  But, I do taste some of the nutty, honey-sweet notes of honeybush.  These notes are really quite subtle compared to the fruit flavors though.

An enjoyable cuppa.  I like this one better iced, though, because it’s a really refreshing flavor combination.  When served hot, I found that this does have a soothing quality to it, like something I’d like to drink if I were feeling a little under the weather.
