Coconut Pouchong from Golden Moon Tea
95

This was a sample provided by Golden Moon. Beautiful long leaves and essence of coconut. While I like coconut, I was pretty sure it did not belong in tea. Approaching this tea with caution, I was more than pleasantly surprised. The liquor is very light, almost clear, in the cup and the aroma is wonderful. The coconut taste was very smooth and creamy with a natural sweetness. The leaves really expand when steeped. I got a total of 9 infusions out of the sample packet before a co-worker made me throw it away. Patting the leaves dry to use again the next day was too much for him. I just couldn’t bring myself to part with this tea as it is very addictive. Each cup tasted as good as the first. The closest I have to a negative comment is the flavors blend so perfectly it was a little difficult to separate out the taste of the tea.

I woulda told him to go fly a kite. No one makes or even suggests I throw out tea.

I am convinced there was at least two more cups in those leaves. Sounds a bit expensive until you factor in the multiple infusions. So good.

Even the most inexpensive tea is wasted if you don’t get everything out of it. I’ve definitely done 9+ infusions (Um hello Beer Black Tea from ManTeas) :)
