We're in the teeth of a sleet storm here at Mackyntoich Manor, so it's the perfect time to open up a tea that reminds me of warmth and sunshine. Adagio's White Tropics is a white tea base with flavors of coconut and pineapple - essentially intended to be a tea pina colada.
The aroma is stronger than the flavor. It has a sweet coconut smell that reminds me of umbrella drinks and old fashioned sun tan lotion. Tasting the brew, I definitely notice the coconut right up front, but fortunately, the white tea base is solid enough to duke it out with the coconut for supremacy. There's a gentle sweetness that could be pineapple, but doesn't really have the citrus bite to it. Finally, the brew has a slightly sweet, very slightly floral aftertaste. It's not like drinking potpourri. It's like drinking the scent of the flowers on a summer porch. All in all, Adagio's White Tropics was a nice visit to summer in the middle of a dreary February.
