I think there will be LOTS to say about this one! Before steeping it’s almost like a fruity pina colada smell to it. I’m not really into Pina Colada usually but the first sniff offers a little something extra and makes you wonder what it will taste like! So…I continued on with the steeping process! While Steeping it has more of an earthy aroma kind of like a leafy or sweet grassy scent. Very different. Maybe even a sweet basil smell or something. After steeping it’s a slight tropical beach drink smell…the coloring is a typical white tea color. I wasn’t sure if I would like it much but it’s very different than I thought…I can certainly taste the Pina Colada Flavor/idea going on with this one…but there is a little something that is trying to push thru…a bit fruity but just enough to keep you guessing. Right toward the end you can taste the coconuts and pineapple…maybe more so at first the coconut and towards the end more so the pineapple. I think I like it!
Upon opening the tin it smells like Vanilla Ice Cream as described. As you steep it’s more of a wood or bark type aroma. After Steeping equal parts (or should I say sniffs) vanilla/equal Oolong on the verge of earthy scent. The coloring is nice. A little darker than I thought it would be. The taste is Earthy yet pleasant and slight creamy vanilla undertones. This one is fairly good in my book!
I’m looking for the little blueberries that obsidianbladed commented on and I can’t find any in mine but I just bought the sampler size. As you open the tin you can smell the blueberry with a little bit of a leafy scent as well. While steeping it morphs into a Blueberry slash perfume smell or something. It’s an average White Tea Shade. The taste is a light and pure mix between white tea and Blueberry. I’d certainly drink it again!
