Staff explained that this is their regular macadamia nut mead infused with black tea. Bottle sample at the source. Clear golden color, still. Nice bright tea aroma. In the taste the light earthiness of the tea balances the sweetness of the mead. Unique.

Bottle, courtesy of fiulijn (thanks Alex), pours a clear faded yellow with no carbonation. Aroma of tree sap, macadamia nuts, honey, grass and some subtle flowers. The flavour reminds me of a chardonnay's feel, then the sweetness from the honey kicks in, followed by macadamia nuts, flowers and some moderate fruitiness. Finishes quite sweet and boozy, but very complex. Very well-construced and multi-dimensional. Great stuff.

Expensive bottle from Food Pantry, Waikiki, HI
synthetic cork
It pours a yellow color with pink shades. The aroma is quite intense, there is some Chardonnay, almonds, fresh grass, a touch of jasmine; and no honey fortunately. The mouthfeel is lean, it’s semi-sweet; very similar to a Riesling, with a moderate fruity touch and pleasant pronounced acidity; there is a pleasant fruity flavor that reminds of the fresh fragolino grape juices (fox grape).
Balanced, elegant, with some original elements, and very good overall.
