Taster’s Review:

Tasty!  I must say that when it comes to Adagio Teas, I definitely have better luck with the white teas versus the black teas.  This La Isla Bonita Custom Tea Blend (created by very own Jennifer Bliss aka TeaEqualsBliss!) from Adagio Teas – a white tea blend – is very nice, indeed.

The tropical notes are the strongest flavors in this cup.  I taste the coconut and pineapple out in front, and then just beneath those tropical fruits, I taste notes of orange and tangerine.  The coconut tastes smooth and creamy, the pineapple is sweet with just a hint of tart, and the orange and tangerine add a pop of bright flavor to the cup.

The white tea tastes soft and delicate and slightly earthy.  It is the right base for this tea.  Everything is “delicate” but together becomes a powerful flavor without becoming overwhelming.

And then there is the spearmint!  I like that there isn’t too much spearmint in this blend.  There is just the right touch of mint to give it that cool taste of mint without throwing off the sweet tropical and citrus-y notes.

What I’m enjoying most here is how the airy quality of the white tea comes together with the spearmint and together, the two become a very “breezy” sort of sensation, which is in keeping with the “La Isla Bonita” inspiration behind the blend.   I love that I can taste the inspiration!

This is tasty served hot, but it really shines when it’s iced.  So deliciously fruity with just a touch of mint:  refreshing!
