I bought this because I love pineapple and it smelled pretty good in the store, though the coconut was a little overpowering. And after it was brewed it smelled alright, still heavily of coconut. Unfortunately within 5 min of drinking this I got an absolutely horrific headache and was physically ill the rest of the night. Whatever they used for the flavoring here definitely didn't agree with me.
Just had my first cup of this tea and WOW, I love it. The fruit is much subtler than I thought it would be (a good thing, for me), and blends in really well with the tea, I think. I noticed some reviews mentioning it lacking in the coconut department. Maybe it's only because I accidentally steeped mine for about 20 minutes, but I think the coconut comes through really well. I decided I could do with a bit more of a citrusy flavor -- maybe my steep time disbalanced the pineapple -- so I just tried putting in just a spot of citrus vodka and it's lovely that way as well (coming from a person who's never put alcohol with tea, so take that for what it's worth).
A wonderful mild yet flavorful tea, mostly due to the tropical flavoring...I suspect otherwise it would be bland.
This was good, but I couldn't really taste the fruit. I think I need to experiment a little with brew time or maybe mix this with something else.
Sweet and nicely tropical: the pineapple and coconut aren't upfront or assertive, but quietly (and deliciously) in the background. A light, refreshing brew!
This is a good white tea to mix with any of the fruity tisanes. I prefer it with the Pina olada fruit tea.
I can barely taste the coconut (certainly not as much as with the coconut black tea) and don't really notice any pineapple other than in the smell of the dry leaves. Only way I can really enjoy this is with a little sugar and quite a bit of lime juice... just makes it taste more tropical that way to me. I like the pina colada fruit tea MUCH better.
With some rock sugar it really pulls out the coconut flavor. Don't find any hints of fruit, but I am going to keep experimenting.
This didn't necessarily taste bad, but I couldn't taste the tropical flavors. Maybe I'm just not cut out for white tea.
Smell is more enticing than the taste, but still very good...
nice, light, fruity tea to finish the day 'en douceur'...
I only tried a sample size portion of this tea but I don't think I'd want to order a larger size. It just wasn't what I was expecting. The main flavor was coconut with the pineapple being barely detectable. It just seems nutty mainly when I was expecting something more fruity and sweet. Not terrible but not as good as white peach or pear.
Maybe it's my taste buds or the way I steeped it but it tastes like regular tea to me nothing spectacular.
refreshing tea that can send you into the glorious feelings of summer in an instant.
This tea has a really great taste to it, I'm normally a fan of black tea but this flavor was absolutely perfect. So wonderfully warm and tropical
A wonderful cup of white tea. Smells amazing. I've also been able to steep the same leaves a few times over, giving you a definite bang for your buck! Has a delicate sweetness, so I found that it's better without a sweetener or with a touch of honey.
Hard to really say but this is a perfect tea, I would say this is a better pina colada than the pina colada tea thats available!
just finishing this up now and will reorder. i love the coconut! use lots of milk
its snowing now.. thought this would be the perfect compliment to a mini vacation away from the cold. its not as strong as it smells in the package. not bad.. just not getting the coconut flavors i hoped. ill have to give this one another try before completely dismiss it.
Stronger than most white teas, which is great for me. I actually found this mixed well with a splash of bourbon as sort of a sunny hot toddy...
No sugar or honey needed. This tea is sweet on its own. The coconut was a little overpowering and I was hoping for some more tropical tastes like Mango or Papaya. But all around it was tasty.
So wanted to like this tea for a tropical mind getaway while drinking it, but that was not the case. The coconut aroma smells artificial and the coconut flavor tastes fake. this is one I will not be buying again.
Disgusting. The smell alone makes my stomach hurt. I highly recommend staying away from this tea.
Adagio has been hittin' it outta the ballpark, this is another great tea!!! Made sure I purchased a larger size this time, the tea is mellow, the blend perfect as each element flows together with no one standing out or jarring you.
Very fruity and light in taste. Would be good served cold on a hot day.
It just wasn't for me. The pineapple overpowered the coconut, but maybe that was just my sample.
I definitely enjoyed this one. It has aromas reminiscent of the beach but is light on the flavors, not to say I didn't enjoy it just the same
I don't usually like drink white tea. I liked the mild flavour of this one. The coconut stood out most.
It was tasty (even without sugar) and the smell is delicious! The pineapple hints were lovely!
A great basic white tea with a nice fruity twist. A great alternative to fruit infused green teas.
Simply LOVE the light flavor of this. I've recently gotten addicted to white teas and this is a definite winner with a soft, fruity flavor.
I drink white teas from time to time. I still don't like them as much as green and black--it's a little too delicate and subtle for me. But I enjoyed the white tropics, even if the tropical notes overpowers the white tea!
Well this has become my new favorite, better even than the mango. It is lovely white tea, with a subtle undercurrent of coconut and pineapple, but not that awful cloying pina colada. For afternoon drinking when I don't need caffeine.
I love how light this tea is. Beautiful smell and taste!
I enjoy, but it is not the best tropical tea I've had.
I used to love Adagio, but recently it has gone downhill. I have rated this tea 'ok', but in reality, I still have not received my tea despite the fact that I should have gotten it days ago. I am not sure that I will order again, it just takes too long go get my tea, I'm sure I can find a more local way of obtaining my tea, just not sure it is worth the effort.
Very smooth, light taste. Wish it was a little stronger, but other than that I enjoyed it.
Seems to brew very dark, which makes it taste more like an oolong than a white tea. I was able to use the leaves twice. Smells kind of alcoholic in the bag, which was odd. It's pretty nice, though. I drank it without sugar, and although the pineapple doesn't quite come through for me, the coconut and the tea's natural flavor give it a nice round chocolaty feel.
It was OK but I won't purchase it again. White Peony and White Symphony are my absolute favorites.
Awesome tea. The pineapple and coconut really blend well together but do not overpower the taste of the white tea.
The coconut is a little overwhelming for me. I still like it though.
This is my favorite white tea I've tried so far. Like most whites, the flavor is pretty subtle, but it's sweet and I taste the coconut the most. Plus it's good resteeped a couple of times.
This tastes very similar to an herbal tea. Mostly fruity flavored compared to a tea flavor. Most likely because white tea is very light.
If you like coconut, I guess you'll like this tea. I wasn't a big fan, since it seemed sort of nauseatingly sweet.
Smells like (and tasted like) fermented, decaying fruit. Couldn't even get past the first sip.
This is probably one of my favorite white teas so far. The smell in the bag is absolutely delicious! When brewed, the tea is more flavorful than other whites, but still very light. It is hard to distinguish the individual tropical flavors, but the overall taste is a very sweet tropical, and does not really need any extra sugar. Also works great in blends and plays well with black teas!
the coconut come through in the after taste, and a little more pineapple would have made it better.
I love this tea! I don't have a problem with the floral flavors everyone is complaining about, and still has a slight fruity taste to it.
I just love that this has rose petals in it. Anyway, this is a very relaxing tea - definitely very drinking-from-a-coconut-on-the-beach beverage. Mild, but not (at least not where the coconut is concerned). The pineapple could stand to be a bit more present, but otherwise, A .
The flavor of coconut is overpowering. I cant really taste the pineapple at all. Not as sweet a flavor as I was expecting...
A very good white tea. The pineapple and coconut come through in the after taste. As I said the tea is good, but just short of stellar.
