Coconut Dream from New Mexico Tea Company

CrowKettle drank Coconut Dream by New Mexico Tea Company

After drinking this multiple times next to 52tea’s Coconut Cream Pie I’ve decided this is the one I’m keeping in large quantities. While 52’s offering is slightly more sugary and brisk than this NMTC sample, Coconut Cream Pie is still delicious and tastes exactly like cream pie right at the lukewarm stage. I may keep a small amount of the Cream Pie around for summer. One can never have too many coconut teas.

A note from LiberTEAS pointed me in the direction of this tea and company, and I’m very grateful for it. The coconut flavour and the black base are both perfectly creamy and smooth. There’s no cloying sweetness, or a crazy amount of ingredients. It’s a simple coconut tea and it’s awesome.

Nice, I need to make a note of that. I love CCP cold brewed, and coconut in general, so this is a must try for me. Onto my shopping list this goes, thanks!

When it comes to a cold dessert brew I think I may still prefer CCP, but I like how simple and “natural” this one tastes when hot. I’ll probably keep both around. I was actually going to bring this along on the 23rd but ended up finishing it up this morning. Maybe I can bring some other NM Tea co. samples along, although I have a small and strange assortment of them. :)

Haha oh no worries. I need to think about what I should bring on the 23rd too. My problem is I keep finishing stuff off too, and try to keep my stash at a reasonable level. Hope my stuff will be exciting enough.

Bio

Tea is what gets me through being a professional procrastinator and an anthropology undergrad student (I’m better at one of those than the other).

I’ve only been exploring the world of tea for little over a year now so I’m still figuring out my preferences and steeping techniques! I can safely say I enjoy a good chai, fruity blends, creamy notes, white tea, and a nice Dragonwell, however. I either love or hate rooibos and chamomile makes me happy.

Besides tea, I like my books and TV series (usually sci-fi/fantasy), music, doodling, and skiing when I get the chance. I respect a good sense of humour and seasoned wisdom, two things I sorely lack. I also thoroughly enjoy birds. I’m a bit of a crazy bird person.

I don’t always respond in a timely fashion but if you see anything in my cupboards that you would like to try give me a shout!
