Exotica

Name:  Exotica


Brand:  David's Tea


Primary Type:  Herbal


Dry Scent:  There is a strong lemongrass component to the scent of this tea, as well as light sweetness from the pineapple and a hint of spice.  It definitely makes me think of tropical destinations and exotic dishes.


Steeping Time: 6-7 min


Steeped Flavour:  As often happens, the strongest flavour in this is the lemongrass, with its light, faintly grassy citrus aroma, but it is balanced out and sweetened by the the pineapple and the other spices do a wonderful job of supporting the whole thing and keeping it from being "lemongrass tea".


Food/Drink Pairings:  This is a great summertime, picnic tea.  Also nice first thing in the morning, and would go nicely iced with a touch of rum.


Rating out of Six Tails:
5/6
