Thanks, Azzrian. To be honest part of my reluctance to review these Tea Trekker teas is that I can’t really remember much about them, and they are long gone, so I feel a little guilty that I can’t do them justice; and that’s compounded by my perfectionism—I expect more from myself then just saying, “It was good.” shrugs Not much I can do about it now, though.

I just got finished brewing up four good pots of this. I added some peach schnapps to the forth, and the peach flavor mixed surprisingly well with the floral notes and gave the tea an unusual body provided by the schnapps syrupy consistency. I liked this tea (both with and without the schnapps).

Appearance and Aroma of dry leaf: about the same as the rest of the flavor-added black teas from Culinary Teas: medium grade leaf, strong, sweet, fruity aroma, hard to say if it smelled like pineapple, but I did like it.

Flavor of tea liquor (based on the most recent session): The first was fruity, but a little bitter and too strong for me (maybe that’s from drinking the delicate flavored green teas as often as I have been these days?); better on the second (no bitterness, and not as intense), but with a somewhat artificial-ness to the more-or-less pineapple-like flavor; and the third is tasty, but considerably milder. Still, there was no off-flavor in any of the steepings.

Value: Culinary flavor-added tea’s are generally very reasonably priced; as most of her flavor-added black teas are, this one is $8.15 / 4 OZ, which puts it at about $2 / OZ (and even less with any discounts and/or if you buy it in larger quantities).

Overall: I bought this one since I love pineapple (incidentally it was not in the batch of flavor-added blacks I bought during the Black Friday sale). This is at least the third flavor-added black Culinary Tea I have noticed that I find a bitter taste from on the initial steeping, and something tells me it may be wise to adjust one of my brewing parameters (either lower the temperature, or shorten the time) the next time I brew another flavor-added black and see if that helps

 Thanks, Azzrian. To be honest part of my reluctance to review these Tea Trekker teas is that I ca n’t really commend much about them, and they are long sound, so I feel a little guilty that I ca n’t perform them justice; and that ’s compounded by my perfectionism — I have a bun in the oven more from myself then precisely saying, “ It was good. ” shrugs Not much I can practice about it now, though. 

 I just got finish brew up four good pots of this. I added some peach schnapps to the forth, and the peach flavor mixed amazingly well with the floral notes and gave the tea an unusual consistency provided by the schnapps syrupy consistency. I liked this tea (both with and without the schnapps). 

 Appearance and Aroma of dry leaf: about the like as the rest of the relish - added bootleg teas from Culinary Teas: medium grade leaf, strong, dulcet, fruity aroma, hard to say if it smelled like pineapple, but I did like it. 

 spirit of tea liquor (based on the most recent session ): The first was fruity, but a little bitter and too strong for me (maybe that ’s from drink the delicate flavored fleeceable tea equally often as I have been these days ?); better on the second (no bitterness, and not as intense), but with a somewhat artificial - ness to the more - or - less pineapple - alike flavor; and the third is tasty, but considerably milder. Still, there was no off - flavor in any of the steepings. 

 Value: Culinary flavor - add tea ’s are generally very reasonably priced; as most of her flavor - add bootleg tea are, this one is $ 8.15 / 4 OZ, which puts it at about $ 2 / OZ (and even less with any discounts and/or if you buy it in larger quantities). 

 Overall: I bought this one since I sleep together pineapple (incidentally it was not in the batch of relish - added blacks I buy during the Black Friday sale). This is at least the third flavor - add black Culinary Tea I have noticed that I recover a bitter preference from on the initial steeping, and something tells me it may be wise to adjust one of my brewing parameters (either depleted the temperature, or shorten the time) the next time I brew another flavor - add black and go steady if that helps
