Amoda Tea Monthly Box - January 2015
Dry leaf: colorful rose pink and gold flowers. IDK what they do for this blend, but ah, well. It's smells sweet and tangy. The Chinese sencha-esque leaf lends a light vegetal flavor.
Liquor color: Happy and healthy looking green
Leaves: Dry - thin and flat green leaves. The colors are not quite as vibrant as the photo
Wet - dark green leaves with those little pink and yellow flowers. Had an unpleasant sour smell.
Notes: I love the combination of drinking tropical or summery things whenever it snows! Funny enough, Amoda tea had the same idea. They even mentioned it in my monthly box. The pineapple was fresh and juicy, the body was light and bright. It was quite refreshing. I am sure it would taste great iced! The green base was quite complimentary, the palm tree-like leafy greens quality gave the brew a spinach like freshness. Once I got away from the oddly sour-smelling leaves, I really enjoyed sipping on this while I watched snow fall outside.
I brewed this in my French press and decanted it into my favorite travel tumbler.
