Hula Hula Tea - Delicious Hot or Cold!

If you are looking for a refreshing tea that is made in Hawaii, I highly recommend trying the aromatic teas by Hula Hula. The talented Malia Schneider Haumschild is the owner and founder of Hula Hula Entertainment. A professional hula dancer and entrepreneur, Maui-born Malia shares the aloha spirit where ever she goes through hula, music, and now, flavored teas. The teas comes in three flavors - Hibiscus, Pikake Green, and Black Mango ($12 per bag).

I picked up the Black Mango and Pikake Green at my favorite gift shop, A Little Bit of Everything today. ALBOE's proprietor, Val Kubota, is a wonderful promoter of local entrepreneurs. It's no surprise that she also sells Hula Hula Tea among all of the other treasures in her cozy gift shop.

I had my first taste of the Black Mango flavor this afternoon. As soon as I opened the bag, the nostalgic aroma of ripe mango filled the air. It reminded me of taking hula lessons when I was young. My teacher's yard had a mango and plumeria trees and both fragrances remind me of my childhood. But I digress.

The bag of Black Mango tea was packed full of small white tea bags. Although the instructions say one bag is good for one serving, I was able to make 2 tall glasses of iced tea from one bag. After adding a little sweetener and lemon, we were all set. I can't wait to try the other 2 flavors!
