drank Coconut Cream Pie by 52teas
277 tasting notes

On the 9th Day of Christmas – I’m not surprised that this tea was voted in as one of the teas for this box but I certainly was happy! Coconut Cream Pie was one of my favorites from Frank’s era and I was happy to be able to have it in my pantry again – if only for a little while!

I did stray a little bit from the original recipe because, first, I use different black teas. Second, I decided that the blend needed vanilla beans in it because – why not? I mean, really? What isn’t better with a little vanilla? I also added some calendula petals for some visual interest.

This is so yummy! Rich and sweet and coconut-y! The black tea base is strong (it would make a great breakfast tea and who wouldn’t want some coconut cream pie for breakfast?)

I’m so happy you’re changing the black tea! I always really liked this tea but thought the base held it back. It’s going to be a while before I let myself place any orders but 52teas is going to be the first when I do.

When I took over, I was not very satisfied with the quality of teas from Frank’s primary supplier so I spent a few months sampling teas from other suppliers to find better teas (oh, what a trial it was to sample all those teas! Ha!) and I continue to try other teas/brands to find the best products to utilize in my blends that I can.

Oh what a hard life it must be! ;) I salute your hard work and dedication (seriously).

Full Disclosure: The individual operating this UserID is the Mad Tea Artist who creates these blends every week. I’m aka LiberTEAS. I took over the 52Teas brand from Frank of Southern Boy Teas. I’m keeping both accounts active at the present time because I still have some tea reviews to post and I didn’t think that I should do that as 52Teas!
