Name: Kanpe Tea
Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Herbal
Dry Scent: Strongly fruity, with overtones of sweet cinnamon and the most predominant fruit being mango and papaya and a little bit of apple-y sweetness. The coconut is there as well, blending all the flavours together. It smells a little wintery actually, which seems strange for a tea based on ingredients from Haiti, but still it smells yummy.
Steeping Time: 6-7 min
Steeped Flavour: Mmm...you wouldn't think fruity and cinnamon would go together so well, but they blend nicely in this. It tastes mostly of mango and something that reminds me of cherries (but not fake-cherry flavour) with the coconut adding smoothness and the cinnamon underpinning all the fruit to give it a grounding sort of warm earthiness. I really do think this is a nice fall or winter tea.
Food/Drink Pairings: This goes nicely, I would say, with fruity desserts. It also might be nice iced, with a little rum. Hmm...or rum'n'coke? Yes. I'm thinking yes.
