Piña Colada Green Tea

Picture a sun-drenched beach, a cool cocktail in hand and the warm breath of the tropics drifting by. Our Piña Colada Green Tea captures that sun-soaked moment in a cup, without a drop of alcohol. A playful, indulgent creation that reimagines the classic cocktail as a loose-leaf infusion.

This blend pairs the fresh, vegetal character of a quality green tea with the juicy sweetness of pineapple and the creamy softness of coconut. A gentle escape, perfect for mornings or any time of day.

The Flavour Profile of Piña Colada Green Tea

At the heart of this blend is a China Sencha, a green tea with long, even leaves. Its pale, lightly herbaceous liquor provides the perfect backdrop for the exotic flavours layered on top.

On the first sip, pineapple brightens the palate: the candied pieces release a sweet, tangy flavour that stays true to the ripe fruit. The mid-palate opens up to the milky roundness of coconut, wrapping the tasting experience in an almost creamy texture.

On the finish, marigold flowers add a delicate floral note and a golden hue to the cup. Together, they form a sunny blend, balanced between bright fruitiness and gentle sweetness. Explore our other flavoured exceptional green teas to keep the journey going.

The Ingredients in This Infusion

• China Sencha: a fine-leafed green tea with a fresh, vegetal liquor that acts as the aromatic foundation.
• Pineapple (16%): candied pieces that bring a juicy, sunny fruit note — the signature of the original cocktail.
• Coconut: flakes and coconut fat for a creamy roundness and a characteristic milky sweetness.
• Marigold flowers: a delicate floral touch and golden highlights in the cup.
• Flavouring: to amplify the exotic bouquet and capture the true spirit of the Piña Colada.

How to Brew Piña Colada Green Tea

Getting the best from this infusion comes down to a few simple steps. Use 12 to 15 g per litre of water, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a 500 ml teapot. Heat the water to 75-80°C: any hotter, and the Sencha may turn bitter, dulling the fruit flavours.

Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, no longer. Green tea leaves release their aromas quickly, and over-steeping brings an unwanted astringency. Strain and enjoy without sugar: the pineapple and coconut already provide a natural sweetness.

For an iced version, double the leaf quantity, brew hot, then pour over ice. You can also cold-brew it: 10 g/L in a jug, left in the fridge for 6 hours. A wonderfully refreshing summer drink. Try our slimming green tea to mix things up.

Storage

Keep your tea in its original tin or an airtight container, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Stored this way, it will hold its full aroma for 18 to 24 months. To learn more, visit our guide to green tea.
