Golden West from Pacific Tea – I have to tell you – I wasn’t thinking I would like this fruity herbal offering – but I did!
Golden West contains apple bits, rosehip peels, hibiscus, pineapple bits with rice flour, pear slices, coconut chips, ginger, natural flavour, and marigold petals. I wasn’t thrilled when I saw hibiscus but I set that aside based on all of the other ingredients in this blend of flavors. I figured it would be sweet but I was hoping it wasn’t going to be TOO sweet. Lucky for me – it’s sweetness was JUST RIGHT.
This fruity herbal was inspired by a golden afternoon in the Solomon western province and offered the low-acid blend of pear, coconut and ginger, then topped with notes of pineapple, marigold and hibiscus.
For me – personally – the pear shined here! The pineapple and coconut paired together awesomely and was the second flavor I picked up on. Apple was the third. Both the ginger and the hibiscus were very subtle and I think that is why this worked the way it did!
It was sweet and creamy. A yin and yang of sorts. It was hydrating at the same time. And didn’t leave a FUNKY aftertaste. This was delightful both hot and cold. This makes a wonderful Fruit Infusion.
Here’s the scoop!

Savo from Pacific Tea
First impression – or should I say QUESTION – when I took my first sniff of the dry Savo Tea from Pacific Tea was…why does this smell like coconut? There is a very simple and reasonable explanation for this. It’s because it contains Coconut Husks and Coconut. When I first looked at it I saw the husks but didn’t realize the husks were coconut husks. I didn’t really notice actual coconut either. But once I smelled the wonderful aroma it CLICKED.
Savo Tea from Pacific Tea not only contains coconut and coconut husks it also contains carob and vanilla. The carob is definitely noticeable and contribute to the natural chocolaty taste. The flavor of this tea is that of chocolate, coconut, and vanilla which completely makes sense because those are the ingredients found in this loose leaf. It’s bold, it’s rich, and its black tea base is smooth and of medium strength.
Savo Tea from Pacific Tea was named for the Solomon’s Savo Island and its earthy, bold and rich volcanic scenery which seems to match the flavor of this tea in many ways. I felt like I was taking a journey while sipping on this tea and found in very satisfying and tasty.
