This tea offers an interesting fruity flavor that I enjoy occasionally. However, I find that both the aroma and taste lack the intensity I typically prefer
Pineapple guava is my favorite from the Republic of Tea. It's light, but the pineapple and guava flavors shine through. Try not to over steep, because it will turn bitter. I have a cup every day. Unfortunately for me, my family loves it too. It doesn't last long in our house.
Continuing to develop my expectations for white tea - this one has more flavor than I expected and was pleasant to drink.
Subtle. This serene refreshing tea is a great way to start the morning or end the evening of the day. The soothing aroma of green tea, pineapple, and guava enhances this smooth experience.
Refreshing tea! Great for iced tea! loved the flavor for summer!
Pineapple Guava is one of my favorite white tea. It is so light and flavorful! The pineapple and guava flavors complement each other with a nice fruity flavor. Will definitely be purchasing this one again!
Truly, all the white teas of the Republic are some of their best offerings. Short steep time and true to the flavors listed.
this is one of the best teas I have ever purchased. It has a mellow fruit flavor and very aromatic.
Love this tea! Great flavor.
I purchased this along with my fav mango white and happy that I did. Admittedly the mango is still my favorite but this comes in very close. I’m glad for the variety and it tastes like mostly pineapple. The smell is really wonderful too.
I'm so glad I decided to try this white tea! The pineapple adds a nice flavor to this lower caffeine tea. Great flavor and low caffeine make a great combination!
A new favorite white tea. Great fruit flavor without being too strong for the delicate tea. Very good. Second only to Orange Blossom
This is my favorite white tea from the RoT. The tropical flavors of pineapple and guava pair well with the delicate white tea. I steep it at 155 degrees for 2.5 minutes and then ice it.
I have been drinking this tea for years, it is my absolute favorite
Very happy with this flavor!
I love this tea and always have it on hand. It's light and refreshing, good hot or iced.
Subtle and soothing …fresh ?? adds the sparkle.
The Pineapple Guava 100% White Tea is one of my all-time favorites. It is very refreshing with a wonderful taste. I am often hesitant to try new flavors but am delighted I tried this. I buy it every time I order and highly recommend it to everyone.
My husband and I used to occasionally drink this but now, I have it everyday for breakfast with my toast (with sunflower butter & honey) and roasted pecans. I always look forward to the ritual. The tea is very tasty; remember that one tea bag should be used with 6 oz., hot water (below boiling temp and shorter steep time). I hope you enjoy as well!
No pineapple or guava flavors in my cup. Never again.
The beautiful fruit aroma exuded when the can is opened is a delight! However, for my first cup, I did not follow the steeping instructions; thus, was thoroughly disappointed at the bitterness I encountered. For my second cup, I followed instructions and was pleasantly surprised at the mild pineapple and guava notes that this lovely white tea delivers without any bitter taste at all. Give it a try, but be sure to follow the steeping instructions.
Mellow, good flavor. I only drink cold tea and this is very good for that.
This has become my favorite tea. Flavor is light and wonderful
If you like water with BARELY a HINT of tea flavor, then this is the tea for you! Absolutely awful and tasteless!
This tea is tropical paradise in a cup! The pineapple and guava tones come through beautifully! I steep for 45 seconds only, to keep the white tea from becoming bitter.
A nice light tea. I made ice tea. Used a few more tea bags than usual.
I don’t really like green tea. But the benefits of it are always touted. So I was pleased to learn that white has the same benefits. I took a chance to try this because I love tiki drinks and this had both pineapple and guava. This tea has a very delicate taste, more a hint of the tropics. It is so good without the weird mouthfeel I get from green tea. This is also delicious iced.
This is the first time that I bought this tea and I have to say it is light and flavorful. It was a good thing. I looked on the side of the tin to see that it’s only supposed to be steeped for one minute! That’s all it takes to have a fruity Late afternoon refreshing break.
While white teas are usually quite temperamental, with very delicate needs when it comes to steeping and temperature, the robust supporting flavours of this tea help give a wider range of acceptable brewing circumstance. A delightfully fruity, lightly vegetal tea.
Flavorful yet delicate. An absolutely delight.
This is one of the best white teas, the pineapple is very mild and the guava brings a lot of sweetness. I love to mix this with a little passionfruit juice and enjoy cold.
I like this tea a lot, mild but very tasty fruit flavor. Stick to the instructions on short brew time or it really will turn pretty bitter. Great hot and cold!
Nice light tea flavor with just the right amount of tropical taste. Perfect iced for summer
I have a cabinet full of teas from ROT, but this is my favorite. Quick to brew (30 to 60 seconds or it becomes bitter, so watch that carefully), it's flavor is light and delicate and very smooth. There is a hint of sweetness from the fruit flavors, which can be brought forward if you like to sweeten your tea. This is my daily tea from mid-day to dinnertime.
This tastes like a white tea, which is a fine flavor, but the fruit notes are non-existent, hot or cold.
When I am in need of chilling out or celebrating deeply quiet times, I tend to seek out white teas. The flavors of guava and pineapple take the flavor over the top.

This is a new tea for me and it has a lovely flavor. Both guava and pineapple are good maintaining eye health,hence the reason I purchased.
Nice and light.
Full disclosure, my favorite tea is the Ginger Peach Chocolate Truffle tea. We had brunch at a friend's house and they had this tea in their cupboard. I tried it and was amazed at the flavor of this tea! I didn't pay any attention to the instructions at their house, but when I got home and ordered a canister for myself. When it arrived I set about brewing a cup. This time I read the instructions and realized that the white tea needs a lower temperature water AND a shorter brew time. So now I brew it for about 2 1/2 minutes and it's SO delicious. Throw in some honey and the flavor is taken to new heights! Now I've got a dilemma, which tea do I choose?!?
I didn't really like this flavor as it's not bold and I like cold flavors. you can't really taste it because it's so LIGHT! I wouldn't buy it again
I'm not real familiar with white tea, but the instructions say to steep it for only 60 seconds. How convenient is that! The color is very light, but the tea is fragrant and delicious. It's my new favorite!
Such a mild yet lightly flavorful tea. Love its versatility: when served cool-refreshing and smooth in summer, when served hot-warming and soft in winter. Pineapple/Guava flavor is subtle and ever so slightly sweet. (If I could, I would rate this 10 teapots:)
I love this tea hot or cold. The pineapple and guava flavors complement very well together. This flavor has definitely become one of our favorite white teas.
With a solid white tea bar, this quick-to-steep tea has a nice but subtle pineapple and guava flavor. I enjoy this hot but it'd make a great iced tea as well.
Impressed that the flavor is so strong after such a short steep
Really light and good tasting tea. I've been drinking this flavor for 15 years. Always tasty and good.
This is a great afternoon tea. We brew it after lunch as its refreshing and fills that desire for something a little sweet after a savory meal.
The pineapple flavor mixed with a hint of Guava is delicious in this tea. It is so light and flavorful. I will definitely be adding this to my list of favorite teas to drink!
I like this prepared as an iced tea. The pineapple and guava flavors are very refreshing. Be very careful to adhere to the recommended steeping time. If you steep it too long, this delicious tea will be bitter instead of refreshing.
I love fruity white teas - that is by far my favorite tea type! I think this one is fun and unique, and I have been really enjoying the flavor. It is a bit tropical, and light. Delicious!
I really enjoy this. This replaces the honeydew melon I loved.
Perfect balance or sweetness (not sweet but a hint) and not bitter. Love it.
As a notorious over-steeper, I was terrified of messing up the brew time when I first tried white tea. I did okay with a thermometer and timer but found the hot brew was too subtle for my taste - good if you like subtle, kind of boring if you want a little more flavor oomph in your hot drink. On a whim, I tried cold brewing this tea as I do with coffee in the summer and WOW, Pineapple Guava cold brew iced tea is now my favorite! I pour about 6 cups or 1500 ml of cool, filtered water over 6 tea bags (a large mason jar works well), cover, and let it sit on the counter for about 6 hours. Voila - delicious tea and much less risk of over-brewing! It's still a subtle flavor but somehow much more appealing to me, especially when served ice-cold. Store it in the fridge and serve with lots of ice; you may also want to water it down a bit to taste. If you brew past 8-9 hours, it will start to get bitter, so be careful because there is still a tighter brew window versus cold brewing coffee and probably other, less-sensitive teas as well. The bit of extra effort is worth it for this tasty, light, refreshing and unique iced tea! I plan to try this cold brew process with other fruity white tea blends as well. Happy sipping!
Very nice white tea.
This is a lovely, delicate pineapple tea. It is floral and pineappley. However, I could not taste or smell the guava. I do really enjoy this blend, just wish it was a bit more guava-y.
This tea smells great and is a milder tea. Make sure you only step the recommended time because it does become very bitter
A very light white tea. Nice for a spring or summer drink. Tastes very nice!
I love this tea and wish we could by in bulk again. Switched to orange blossom in bulk and purchase this now and then as it is more expensive and requires a can every purchase. Started my white tea journey with permisson but republic of tea discontinued that a long time ago; that was a lovely tea.
Makes me think of the tropics
Just enough pineapple flavor in this tasty tea!
This is a light tea with a hint of pineapple flavor but it becomes bitter if you steep too long. Three minutes max for me is perfect.
This is another great flavorful white tea. Makes for a great iced or hot tea. I make sure I always have this one in the cupboard.
Over the holidays I bought sixteen tins of republic of tea herbal, white, green and oolong teas in search of my favorite so that I could really compare all the flavors against each other. This is a delicious standout. I preferred the pineapple guava flavor to the mango white tea, which I actually found much more bitter. You should only ever steep these for 1 minute!! I had concerns I wouldn't like this one due to the guava pictured being green and not pink (I love really fruity flavors) but I will repurchase this promptly. This is in the top three of the sixteen I bought. It is beautiful, fruity, but mild. Divine. By the way, I will be reviewing each of the teas I bought and this review is not incentivized at all. If I don't like a tea, I will write about what I didn't like about it. I will not be reviewing high caffeine teas.
This is one of the only really flavorful white teas I could find, that still tastes like a white tea. Very Happy with it and will buy again. Thanks!
I really like this tea for times when I don't want a dark, heavier tasting tea. The pineapple comes through very nicely. It has a very short steep time. It does seem to get bitter when you get called away at work and can't come back for a few hours. That's not a huge deal, I was just surprised by that and maybe the comment will help keep someone from wasting a tea bag.
Not my favorite. I didn't find the pineapple flavor strong at all, and just thought the overall taste of this tea was "meh." Personally, I would not buy this tea again.
The contents sounded so special but the taste was not that good.
This tea is not too sweet and has clear notes of guava and pineapple! Don't leave the bag in longer than 4 minutes or it will be bitter.
When I first tried a white tea from ROT, it was my absolute favorite. These are more expensive than their other teas. It usually has a lighter and clean taste than other types of tea. I was expecting a light tea with significant pineapple and guava flavor. I did not get a lot of fruit flavor and it was a let down for me. There are so many other ROT flavors I would much rather prefer. I finished the tin, but would not purchase again.
This is one of my all-time favorite teas! Just enough of a hint of fruit flavor with minimal caffeine, so it can be enjoyed anytime. Highly recommend!!
Lacking flavor and very disappointed after purchasing so much tea from Republic Tea I had to pay for my shipping to return it.
I love this tea… I use a tad bit of sweetener to pop the pineapple!! Very refreshing and quick to make …. Love it!
The pineapple flavor is great. And there is the hint of guava adding another dimension to this tea. It is definitely a delicate tea, with a mild flavor. But it is definitely great flavor.
This gentle white tea wafts a delicate pineapple scent. So good hot or iced.
We are a very prolific and discerning tea-drinking family of four and this one makes the cut! Our 15 year old daughter adores drinking a warm pint on a snowy February morning with bites of fresh pineapple. Absolutely divine.
Pineapple Guava is my all time favorite tea, it's very satisfying and easy on the pallet.
I'm a sugar fiend, but I'm trying to cut down. I've been looking for a tea that doesn't need to be sweetened. This is it! I can't tell you how much I love this tea! I even bought some for my sister because she NEEDS this in her life!
Definitely one of my favorites
This tea is wonderful, not particularly sweet like most pineapple beverages. Unfortunately, only available in non-earth-friendly tins. Please sell this product in paper bags!
I look forward to it first thing in the morning, and I love to unwind with a cup at the end of the day! I wish it was available in the bulk bag!
Pineapple Guava is by far my favorite of RoT's white teas but as others have mentioned, it's critical that the teabag is steeped no longer than 60 seconds to prevent the tea from tasting bitter. However, I've been wondering for over a year why Pineapple Guava's not available in the bulk bag or as a refill. In fact, it is the only white tea that is not available in the Bulk and Refill sizes, which makes no sense as Pineapple Guava consistently comes out on top when sorting white teas by "Best Selling" on the RoT site. I've mentioned this to several RoT customer services reps who said that they'd forward my comment to the PTB but one year later and it's still not available in bulk. Fingers crossed this is rectified sooner rather than later.
It's light aroma of fruits and good to keep healthy digestive for any age.
When I first tried this tea, I wasn't a big fan. It was far too bitter to be pleasant. But then I noticed the label, directing the tea drinker to only steep the bag for one minute. After trying that, I have a new favorite tea. The only complaint I have is that I occasionally forget and leave the tea bag in too long and end up with a bitter cup. I am looking forward to trying the other white teas now that I know the trick to a non-bitter cup. This flavor was very light, fruity, and pleasant (when you don't leave the tea bag in for too long).
Love the subtle flavors of pineapple and guava.
This is so tasty served on a hot summer day over ice. Add a little fruit and you will think you are on vacation.
i really love the flavor it was very refreshing
I was pleasantly surprised ive never had white tea before and it was delicious
Love it..I was born and raised on the Pineapple Island called a Lanai..grew up on pineapples and guavas.
I like to make iced tea with this one. Very subtle flavor, light and crisp for warmer weather, refreshing. My only criticism is that it's not sold in bulk. Hate to have to waste/recycle container after container.
I said mango in my review when I meant guava. It's been a long week.
I like the mango flavor but can't detect any hint of pineapple. This is the second time that this has happened with this blend.
I thought it was tasty. Although the flavor was a tad weak for me. I bought it because it is supposed to be good for diabetes.
This is the best tea ever. It's mild and flavorful, and it doesn't need sugar because of the pineapple and guava. I've been drinking this tea for about 15 years.
I wanted to try something different. I actually seep it for 2 minutes and it is very good.
I love this tea! The flavor is amazing and it's so smooth. I drink it hot or iced, both ways are so good.
love the smell and taste
You need to be very careful to make sure to not use water that's too hot (I have a temperature controlled kettle, and use the 160 F setting), and also be careful not to brew for too long. If you are careful, though, the tea will be just lovely, and not bitter at all. As a white tea, it is very light. If you aren't a fan of flavored teas, you may not like this one. The flavor is lovely, but you taste the sweetness of the pineapple and guava more than the underlying tea flavor. Makes both a wonderful cup of hot tea or iced tea as well. One of my favorites!
My favorite white tea!
I love the delicate and distinct flavor. When it was discontinued, I bought two 250 serving bags, which I have almost finished. So glad it's back. Please bring back the large, simple packaging bags. Less waste! In fact, all of your teas should be offered in resealable envelopes for less packaging waste.
Best white tea that the site sells so far in my opinion. A light tropical sweetness. None of that artificial chemical taste that comes with some sweet teas. I drink it without adding anything and it is perfect, just make sure you follow steeping instructions for white tea correctly :)
This tea is so delicious and even better iced! Perfect refresher with a few drops of agave.
I have been drinking this tea for over 10 years and can not be without it!! When they discontinued a while back it gave me anxiety as I combed the internet for any remaining canisters and bought them all. I eventually substituted with Honey Mango but it wasn't the same. I was overjoyed when they brought this back. The health benefits of this white tea along with its perfectly subtle blend (not as acidic as green tea) make me leap out of bed in the mornings for this good for you treat.
I love waking up and this being the first thing I intake it's so refreshing and soothing especially on a warm day! Love this tea. My absolute favorite!!
One of my favorites. When will it be available in the 250 bulk. I have my empty tin already. It is just waiting to be refilled.
Oh, I missed this tea so so much. Happy to have it back! I couldn't find anything that compared to it. It's such a nice way to start the day, smooth and kind. :)
A very good quality well balanced flavor. Especially good for making an ice tea drink. Fragrant without any cloying warm sensation..
It is so smooth you need no sweetener, I'm so happy they brought it back Thank you!
Light and flavorful
We are beyond overjoyed that you have brought back this stunning tea. Life was not nearly as light without a cup or two of this tea every day!
This white tea, pineapple guava tea, is my favorite white tea and I've tried them all. It's low caffeine makes it my night time pick. It has a light tropical flavor, not over powering, it's a real end of the day treat. I rejoice it's return!
tastes Great .. Drink it daily at work
I have several food allergies, including pineapple. Using this tea I get the lovely subtle flavor I crave without the side effects of the real fruit.
I have food allergies to my favorite fruits - fresh pineapple especially. I love this tea for the delightful flavors that let's me have the pineapple with out a reaction. Soothing, calming, delish...
This is one of our family's new favorite teas--with a great aroma. We use it without sweetener but a little bit of honey probably would work, too. We'll definitely be brewing it as iced tea this Summer.
This tea has a very good, light flavor. The one thing I noticed is that there is a little bite at the end that I normally don't experience with white tea. Not my favorite, but very good nonetheless.
I am still trying to find the right brewing time for my taste. I am used to drinking white and green teas. This is my first experience with an Oolong. I think I need to go back to my one minute brewing time. It is a good tea and I will try until I get it right.
Delicious. One of my favorites.
Only tried once so far but Good! You can taste the pineapple. I also really like white tea anyway as it is less bitter. Will buy again.
I absolutely love this tea. I add just a little raw agave nectar and sometimes a little splash of Patrone Citrone. It tastes great with just a little sweetener. If you add milk to the sweetener, it tastes like liquid cake. It makes me happy. When Whole Foods stopped carrying it and I couldn't find it anywhere, I was pretty upset but then I called Republic of Tea directly and thank goodness, they still carry it! It's my favorite tea. I drink it every day. I hope Rep of tea never stops making it. I don't think I could live without it...sounds dramatic, I know, but I really feel that way! Don't ever take away my PG White.
After watching a video regarding the nutritional benefits of cold brewing tea, I decided to try cold brewing. Four tea bags to two quarts of water, throw in fridge over night, next day its ready. Cold brewing delicate white tea, is the way to go. Using the cold brewing method, the Pineapple Guava White Tea results in a very smooth, flavorful, and satisfying iced tea.
I'm not too thrilled about this tea. It just doesn't taste like anything. The pineapple guava flavoring is soooo light.
I use this to make iced tea and it is delicious. The pineapple flavor comes through, but not overly so. Then we add about 2-3 tbsp of organic raw sugar per eight-cup pitcher, which gives it just enough sweet to set the pineapple taste off. Very refreshing on a hot day.
I personally love white teas, but find that without any kind of added fruit or flowers for flavor, they tend to be almost peppery in flavor. Not a bad thing, just different. I wondered how pineapple, which can be overly strong in some teas, would work with a white tea. I was so pleasantly surprised at how much I, and my family, even those who do not normally drink much tea, love this tea! The fruit flavors are strong enough to be present without being in any way overwhelming. And they add a nice delightfully light sweetness to the tea. It's perfect hot but really shines cold over ice. This is my family's new go to tea for summertime iced tea pitchers. Awesome blend, highly recommended!
This tea has an incredibly delicious flavor. It is a new family favorite! Can't wait to try it iced!!
This is a lovely, light flavored tea that can be enjoyed all day long! I absolutely love it--& have been enjoying it for several years.
I wasn't sure if I liked this tea when I made my first cup hot. So after sitting for a bit, while I contemplated whether or not to finish drinking it, it got cold. That was delicious! I will definitely be drinking more of this tea; and the only reason I'll be giving it away is to share the great taste with others.
A refreshing cup of tea that bursts with a fruity flavor that leaves your mouth feeling surprisingly clean. Tropical flavors explode in your mouth transports you to a sunny island beach for a mini vacation in a cup!
I bought this tea on a whim from a Bob Marley song(the headline above). Now it is my favorite tea!! It has a subtle flavor that is unique cup after cup. I resisted getting the 250 bag mega size - but alas the body is week and the desire is strong. This white has a surprising caffeine kick
I haven't seen this tea in a good year. the store that sold it closed down. I can not wait to taste this light but expoding flavor in my mouth again. I'm a sweet drinker I always had honey to my tea suggesting the wildflower honey as it's best and not to much the pinnapple is like a naturaly sweetener. This tea is like perfection to me.
I expected white tea to be too mild for me but was very surprised with this flavor. Great tea!
I adore this tea. It tastes almost like fruit juice, but needs no sweetener. I keep a spare to be sure I never ever run out.
I looooove this tea! Usually pineapple can have a bitter taste when used in teas, but not this one! The naturally light flavor of white tea makes the pineapple taste perfect. No need to add sugar or anything as I like it all by itself.
Only seep the tea for one minute, no longer, and then add about 1/2 T of whole milk...Delicious! Once you are finished, seep again!
