wow oh wow! This tea is a tea I could see buying a pound of… it is that good. When you first open the bag all you smell is the fresh coconut. Delish! I steeped it for about 6 minutes, I think I may steep a bit longer next time, and after steeping you can smell the honeybush and coconut. When I pour it into a cup it smells just like tanning lotion :) I love that smell! At first sip I don’t get alot of flavor… but I sip again and I taste coconut..it is very smooth. I add a bit of sugar and it brings out the flavors, yummy. I let it cool a bit and I definitely get the tanginess of cheesecake as well as the buttery graham cracker crust. It is soooo good! Thank you so much for making this part of the permanent collection.

Thank you to Frank for restocking this one. I’m so pleased that I was able to get my hands on a bag! :) Scent of the dry leaf is all about the coconut! The coconut smothers everything.. so I don’t really smell much else. Steeped, the tea is a bit toned down and the coconut shifts from scent to flavor. This tea revolves around the sweet taste of the coconut and the cheesecake comes in a tangy/tart aftertaste. I’m pretty happy with this tea, but I don’t love it as much as I thought I would! It’s very yummy, though!

I am increasing the rating on this one. I can’t seem to make up my
mind about this blend! Tonight it just tastes delicious! Coconut with a hint of cheesecake. A delightful pre-bed cup to have.

Thanks to QueenOfTarts for this one!

I love how many coconut bits are in this one! Dry, it smells mostly coconut with an afterthought of cheesecake.

Yum! This is really good! Strong coconut taste and a creamy sort of feel which I suppose is the cheesecake. The cheesecake comes out mostly in the aftertaste, though, which is a nice little suprise. I think this one might have to be a constant in my cupboard.

This is so ridiculously good. I accidently left to go cold after only having a few sips and it is even better cold than hot! The cheesecake part becomes much, much more pronounced cold and it leaves such a delicious aftertaste. This one is getting a higher rating, I had forgotten how much I love it!

Hooray! After over a month and a half, I finally received my pouch of Coconut Cheesecake.

This is delicious. As many others have noted, it’s rich and creamy and coconut-y. I am not tasting the cheesecake (maybe if I really strained?), but it’s delicious. It tastes quite like the Coconut Cream Pie, which cannot be a bad thing.

This tea is simply amazing, and might very well be one of my all-time 52tea favorites. It’s a perfect balance between the coconut and the tart cheesecake flavors. The honeybush base is perfect for this.

I just re-ordered this, after not having it for about a year. Something has happened to this blend. It is not as I remember it. I remember an intoxicating coconut smell (I even wrote about it in my previous note) – now I am getting only honeybush. I remember a creamy cheesecake tartness and rich coconut creaminess – but now I’m getting only honeybush. Basically it’s plain honeybush with a faint hint of coconut.

I’m sad because I ADORED this blend and was looking forward to having it again. It’s nothing like it used to be.

Taking the rating down, but I will still give it a decent score for it’s past greatness

Sweet heavens! This tea smells SO GOOD that I almost took a bite of the mug! I add a touch of milk, giving it a cheesy creaminess, and it becomes my favorite dessert. Each time I have this tea, I am knocked over by how utterly perfect it is.

It smells nice, like these coconut sweets I’m fond of. I don’t get much cheesecake flavour, it is more like coconut cream pie.

Yum! I really love the honeybush coconut combo. These flavors really suit each other. This is just like the maple longjohn if you let it cool just a little bit the flavors really start to come through. This is coconuty goodness. I love it!

This will be short: My roommates love it! To the point of bragging about it to random people coming in and out of the house. I liked it, not love. It definitely tasted like coconut but I had a hard time detecting the cheesecake part. It reminded me more of a Pillsbury graham pie crust + coconut.

Overall it was nice. Not too much’a fan of Rooibos or Honeybush, and I s’pose that’s because I’ve just become so spoiled by other teas.

Also, I was disappointed that the contents of the satchel was spilled out in the shipping package with an apology note from postal service. I guess they must of wanted a cup for themselves? Oooorrr they thought it was some form of “incense?”

This tea tasted just as it smelled, like fresh sweet coconut, which is very rare to me. Usually teas smell really good to me but don’t taste that wonderful, so this was a very spectacular tea to me!

Quite nice with cream and honey. Not a lot of cheese flavor, but tastes rich and coconutty.

This tea was a disappointmnt for me. I love coconut and I love cheesecake. Unfortunately, I tried this several ways and really never tasted the coconut nor the cheesecake. It was pleasant enough, but not what I was expecting. I wish that I had tried the Coconut Cream Pie instead.
