St. Louis Dad was recently contacted with the opportunity to try out a new line of tea from Jimmy Buffett and Tradewinds called Tradewinds Jimmy Buffett’s Island Tea. I have always enjoyed a good beverage and I’ve always thought highly of Jimmy’s music, so why not. Up for the task I agreed to give these drinks a chance. I was sent a nice suitcase designed box with four flavors of Tradewinds Jimmy Buffett’s Island Tea. Included was Peach Mango Black Tea, Tropical Citrus Green Tea, Paradise Punch Hibiscus Tea and Strawberry Lime Black Tea. I did not get a sample of Pineapple Coconut White Tea, which is okay since I am not a big fan of coconut, but no worries we have plenty of other flavors to taste.
Since this blog is about me and my family I thought why not include them in the review process. So I gathered the troops and setup shop. My wife Destiny and daughter Abby were ready to begin. Alex had to sit this one out. I didn’t think these drinks would be to healthy for a 14 month old. I might be wrong about that, he would probably like it but he needs other nutritional content. He’s an animal and goes for anything he can sink his new teeth in these days. So it will just be my wife, my daughter, and myself. Let the tasting begin!
We started with the Paradise Punch Hibiscus Tea. All three of us liked the taste and thought it smelled good too. Abby was quick to comment that she liked the pinkish color. Next was the Strawberry Lime Black Tea. Again, we all liked this flavor. This one was also my favorite of the bunch. It was very tasty. My wife liked it but didn’t think it was as sweet as the other flavors. The third flavor we tried was Tropical Citrus Green Tea. This flavor was my least favorite but my wife and daughter enjoyed it, especially Abby. This one has a very nice citrus smell and was definitely my daughter’s favorite. Last we tried Peach Mango Black Tea. I was skeptical at first because I am not a fan of peach anything. This one gives off a strong peach smell, which Destiny and Abby liked. After tasting I thought it was pretty good. I was surprised with my reaction but I did in fact like it. Destiny loved Peach Mango. She finished off the bottle of it and wanted to get some more. I would say that Jimmy Buffett inspired some great flavors with this line of tea. Give them all a try, there is one for everyone to enjoy. Especially that Strawberry Lime Black Tea. I’ll be picking up more of that.
To complement the launch of the tea line, Tradewinds will also be launching a “Sip & Sing Your Way to Paradise” campaign! During this whole campaign, a tour bus will be following Jimmy Buffett on tour at select regions, one of which happens to be in St. Louis, MO on June 4th, where you and other locals are invited to the party to enter a national karaoke contest.

Seen Buffett in concert three times it’s definitely worth the price of admission. Out of the four flavors I would have to say the Paradise Punch sounded the best.
Hey Gary, be sure to post your favorite Jimmy song as well so you can qualify for the swag box!
Peach Mango Black Tea sounds good. Favorite Buffet song is It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere.
Peach Mango Tea sounds amazing!! I love Margaritaville! They have the best jerk wings EVER!!
I’d like to try the Peach Mango Black Tea, and my favorite Jimmy Buffet song is Come Monday.
Paradise Punch for me, and I have to lean towards Margaritaville, because…well, flip flops and pop tops.
The Pineapple Coconut White Tea sounds SO good! The Paradise Punch would make a fun mixer!
Strawberry Lime Black Tea and fave song is It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere
I’d really like to try that white tea. Really like the song he did with Alan Jackson.
I would probably liike the tropiical citrus green tea a lot. I like the sounds of it. My favorite Jimmy Buffet song is probably Margaritaville. I cant hear that song and not think of summer. I could tell stories about that song and so many memories that go with it.
Paradise Punch.
Seriously is it even a question…Margaritaville. Lol!!!
My favorite song is Margaritaville of course! All the flavors sound good but I think the Strawberry Lime Black Tea would be the best.
Peach tea all the way! And I love “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.” 🙂
Lovely giveaway. Best of luck with it! I love iced tea – the strawberry lime looks lovely, I’ve never tried it. It’s 5:00 somewhere (it’s all I can think of now lol)
Sweet giveaway! The peach mango & pineapple coconut both sound amazing. I guess I’d go with coconut tea if I had to choose one. Margaritaville would have to be my fav song.
I would be sipping PEACH MANGO Black Tea and singing “I’s 5 o’clock Somewhere”
