Mighty Leaf – Green Tea Tropical
Name: Green Tea Tropical
Company: Mighty Leaf
Type: Green
Cost: $9.95 for 15 tea pouches
Mighty Leaf’s Green Tea Tropical comes in a lovely silken tea pouch and smells divine. The ingredients in this tea are Green tea, banana, strawberry, pineapple, guava, and exotic fruit flavors with red, white and blue cornflowers, and pineapple pieces. All those together provide an intoxicating tropical smell that if you close your eyes could transport you to an exotic island for a moment. Or perhaps that is just my wishful thinking talking, but it still smells pretty darn good.
To brew this tea I used one pouch for one cup of water which was roughly 180 degrees. I let it steep for 3 minutes and then removed the tea pouch. The color of the liquor was a pale green and the fragrance smelled just as amazing as the dry leaves. I repeated the exercise of closing my eyes and inhaling the tantalizing aroma. Then I took my first sip and instantly felt pleased. Though the taste is not quite as strong as the fragrance, it is still strong enough to be present. Some people are of the mind that flavored teas are maybe not as high quality as say a pure sencha, but my taste buds aren’t picky in that sense and so flavored teas have a place right along with all other types of tea. And when I find a high quality flavored tea, it causes much joy for me.
I’m impressed with this tea pouch and even liked the fact that the fragrance in the pouch does not diminish after it has been steeped. The tea tastes good, smells good, is clean and refreshing. The only bad thing I could say about it is that the green tea taste is not as strong as it could be. If your looking for a simple green tea that tastes…green, this is not what your looking for since it is packed with flavor. Despite that small flaw, I have a feeling I will be giving this tea a permanent home in my tea collection.
