Green Tea Tropical

My friend Scott, who lives in New Hampshire, introduced me to this tea: Green Tea Tropical from The Mighty Leaf.

This is a flat leaf tea and the preparation contains dried fruit (pineapple) and flowers. Green Tea Tropical has a cheerful, fresh aroma before steeping and a mild, sweet scent that persist after infusing it in the hot water.

The tea has a bright tropical flavor that reminded me of being in Hawaii. I like the packaging, too. While it's not loose tea, the Mighty Leaf's Tea Pouches(TM) allow the tea to expand more and to move more when the water envelops it than traditional tea bags permit. (I have not yet tried any of the teas in the new Lipton "Pyramid" tea bags, so I cannot make any comparison with those. Of course, it is just a matter of time before I try the "Pyramid" teas, too.)

I like Green Tea Tropical. It's a good tea for me. I'll go so far as to call it a joyful tea. I liked it enough to give some of it to my parents to try, and I bought a box of it for my brother. Thanks again for the recommendation, Scott!
