This tea definitely smells of coconut and pineapple. After brewing for 3 minutes, it also tastes like coconut and pineapple.
My problem is that there's also an extra flavor I don't care for. It's kind of like a peachy floral taste, and it creates an odd aftertaste.
I wanted to like this because it seems like a perfect warmer weather tea, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. I will try it as a cold brew and hopefully get a better result.
Edit (5/7/14) Did a cold brew last night using 2 tsp. in a 9 oz. Libre Tea glass. The coconut is more pronounced, but the pineapple is less present. The odd aftertaste is reduced, but not gone. It's definitely better this way, but I would not buy again.
