Taster’s Review:
Really nice! This Pineapple Upside-down Cake Iced Green Tea from Southern Boy Teas is a really tasty treat!
I love that I can taste all the flavors: I taste a buttery cake, I taste sweet pineapple, brown sugar and just a touch of maraschino cherry. And I taste the smooth green tea. It’s light, fresh and buttery, and those buttery notes meld really nicely with the buttery notes of the cake.
You’d think that with so many different flavors going on that you wouldn’t be able to discern one flavor from another. And I have to admit that at first, I couldn’t. My first glass – I was tasting kind of a muddled mess of flavors that were sweet and there was certainly a refreshingly tasty element to it but it was difficult to say – “oh, I taste the pineapple” or “I taste the buttery cake-like flavors” or “I can taste the green tea!”
But now that I’ve finished that first glass and am working on the second one, the flavors have come forward and have distinguished themselves on my palate.
I like that this is sweet but not so sweet that I’m overwhelmed by the sweet notes. It’s sweet and maybe even a tad ‘dessert-y’ but it’s still refreshing enough to guzzle down when you need to quench that thirst.
Quite yummy!

Taster’s Review:
Oh yum! Yummy yum yum!
I loved 52Teas Pineapple Upside-Down Cake flavored Honeybush, so I was pretty confident that I’d also like this. But, I didn’t think I’d like it better than that honeybush blend!
The buttery essence of the Chinese Sencha melds so well with the yellow cake flavoring, giving this tea more of that cake-y taste. This really tastes like Pineapple Upside-Down Cake!
The green tea base tastes sweet and fresh. There are big chunks of pineapple in the blend, and the flavor of the pineapple is that of a cooked, slightly caramelized pineapple. Sweet and juicy. The brown sugar is caramelized as well, giving this a very bake-y kind of taste.
The maraschino cherry taste is what really puts this one over the top for me. I can smell the cherry essence just before I take a sip, and then I taste the cherry flavor. It’s a very “inner-child” kind of satisfaction this flavor delivers, kind of like the sensation I’d experience when I’d eat the cherry off the top of a sundae. Those cherries always made everything just a little more special, and that is what the cherry essence does for this tea.
An absolutely delicious interpretation of a classic comfort food, this tea is one I’d highly recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth. This one is sure to satisfy!
