I have always enjoyed a good beverage and I&#8217;ve always thought highly of Jimmy&#8217;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\u00a0Tradewinds Jimmy Buffett\u2019s Island Tea. Included was Peach Mango Black Tea, Tropical Citrus Green Tea, Paradise Punch Hibiscus Tea\u00a0and\u00a0Strawberry Lime Black Tea.\u00a0I 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">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&#8217;t think these drinks would be to healthy\u00a0for a 14 month old. I might be wrong about that, he would probably like it but he needs other nutritional content. He&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-598\" src=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3532-e1430318528138-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3532\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3532-e1430318528138-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3532-e1430318528138-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3532-e1430318528138.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>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&#8217;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&#8217;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\u00a0pretty 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 <span style=\"color: #000000;\">inspired<\/span>\u00a0some great flavors with this line of tea. Give them all a try, there is one\u00a0for everyone to enjoy. Especially that Strawberry Lime Black Tea. I&#8217;ll be picking up more of that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3536-e1430318492734.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-602\" src=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3536-e1430318492734-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3536\" width=\"440\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3536-e1430318492734-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3536-e1430318492734-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3536-e1430318492734.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To complement the launch of the tea line, Tradewinds will also be launching a \u201cSip &amp; Sing Your Way to Paradise\u201d campaign!
