Meghann M drank Coconut Chai by Zhena's Gypsy Tea

Found this tea in the local grocer’s organic section today. I was impressed that they also carried a few mighty leaf teas, although not loose.

I bought this to compare with the Thai tea (Teavana) and Thai Chai (Adagio). This tea has a light orange brown liquor with a spicy aroma. I really can smell the coconut in the dry tea, but once steeped, I’m not getting much smell or taste of coconut. I definitely enjoy this blend of Chai better than my Tazo Chai. It gives me that spicy tickle in the back of my throat. I added just a spash of Vanilla Soy, and think it may be better without it.

try doing 2x bags with a splash of soy and honey (8 ounce mug) – or if you have it coconut milk instead of soy

Think I’ll put my kettle back on and try what you suggested. No coconut milk, but I’ll try with just the honey and 2 bags first. Seeing I’m using a 12oz mug, 2 bags will probably be better!

Loved this the second time around with just a touch of honey, no cream. Good kick of spice and a bit of sweet base (maybe from the coconut, but doesn’t taste like coconut smells). Much better now.

Live in the cornfields of IL, but not too far from the city. Expecting a baby any day now (due Oct 24 2011). Sticking to mainly herbal and low caffeine teas for now. Trying to encourage my husbands tea drinking, but he adds so much sweetner he may as well just drink diet pop. I love trying new teas, and will try any tea once.
