This delicious Caribbean drink that combines the flavors of coconut, pineapple, fresh cream, and rum is truly one of the world's most refreshing. The Pi̱a Colada was invented in 1954 by Ramon \"Monchito\" Marrero in Puerto Rico. The bartender wanted to create a drink that captured all the flavors of his beloved island in one glass. His drink was such a hit that in 1978 Puerto Rico declared the Pi̱a Colada its national drink. Since that first pour in 1954 it is estimated that over 200 million Pi̱a Coladas have been served worldwide! We're not sure how many cups of this tea have been served yet, but we are certain that once you brew a pot you'll be adding many numbers to the list! Sweet and creamy, this tea, like its namesake, is great over ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sri Lanka\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula or Uva districts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e OP (Orange Pekoe)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4800 - 7600 feet above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury black tea, Unsweetened coconut, Freeze dried pineapple, Natural dried pineapple, Blackberry leaves, Safflowers, Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis tea is reminiscent of a fresh pina colada.

Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Cold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(to make 1 liter\/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1\/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1867374657,"sku":"228-100","price":11.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1867374721,"sku":"228-250","price":21.51,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1867374785,"sku":"228-500","price":32.57,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1867374849,"sku":"228-1000","price":61.45,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/228.jpeg?v=1442448484","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/pina-colada-black-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
