Coconut comes from the large fruit of the coconut palm, which grows along tropical coastlines from Southeast Asia to the Caribbean. Dried coconut flakes or chips add a creamy, nutty sweetness and a soft tropical aroma that rounds out the cup. Coconut is a favorite in black tea, green tea, rooibos and pu-erh blends, often teamed with pineapple, vanilla, almond or chocolate. Coconut blends are lovely iced in summer, and they taste rich and dessert-like with a little milk.

Pineapple is a tropical fruit native to South America and now grown widely in Costa Rica, the Philippines, Thailand and Hawaii. Dried pineapple pieces add a juicy, tangy-sweet flavor with a bright, sunny aroma and a lively tropical zing. They pair beautifully with green tea, white tea, rooibos and fruit blends featuring mango, coconut, papaya, ginger or passion fruit. Pineapple blends make a fantastic iced tea, and a splash of coconut milk gives them a fun piña colada twist.

Bergamot oil is pressed from the peel of the bergamot orange, a small fragrant citrus grown mainly along the coast of Calabria in southern Italy. It has a bright, floral, slightly bitter citrus aroma that is more perfumed than lemon or orange. Bergamot oil is famous as the signature scent of Earl Grey and Lady Grey, and it also flavors green tea, rooibos and some herbal blends. Earl Grey is delicious with milk, or try it as a London Fog with steamed milk and vanilla.
