This is the most expensive tea I got on my trip to Prestogeorge at $3 for 2 oz. (which is still cheaper than a lot of bagged tea and a lot of upper-scale tea). From the website "Pan fired green tea, safflowers, marigolds, blue mallow flowers, and corn flowers with mango and passion fruit flavor. This makes the perfect iced tea. One of our most popular flavored green teas!". Yum!
Outsides: If you go to the store and have to walk anywhere, you'll have a hard time not keeping this tea at your nose the entire time. This smells like tropical gum except more natural. You can't really see them in my crappy picture but there are all kinds of colorful flowers in the green tea mix. When brewed, the tea is a light yellow with a green tinge to it. It still has a light tropical fruit scent.
Insides: I love this tea. The tropical flavor isn't in your face, but it's very refreshing and the smooth green tea base make this a fantastic drink. It's also practically free from bitterness and has a very "fresh" scent to it. This would make a FANTASTIC iced tea and honestly, it doesn't even need sugar. The fruit and flowers give this a natural sweetness and the delicateness of the green tea make it so there's no harshness that requires masking.
Overall: A very nice tea and something that I wouldn't mind spending a little more on. Basically, an island escape in a cup!
My Rating: Buy it! Here's Prestogeorge's Tea Page: Tropical Green Tea.
