Few things can pull off sweet and savory quite like coconut. And few teas can play with other flavors quite as seamlessly as a classic Ceylon. In one cup, you’ll get the dense, creamy texture of fresh coconut with the balanced brightness and tang of Ceylon black tea. This Coconut blend showcases a perfectly sweet, warm and aroma, as well as a soft finish. Such a well-blended flavor, it’s like they never existed without each other.
The coconut (Cocos nucifera) provides a high-calorie food in its sweet nutty white inner fruit, potable water from its hydrating natural liquid, fiber that can be spun into rope, and a hard shell that can turn into charcoal for fuel. Scientists using DNA discovered two distinct varietals: niu kafa, triangular and oblong with a large fibrous husk, and niu vai, a round form containing abundant sweet coconut “water” when unripe. They’re found in the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean countries proving to scientists that the coconut is a record of voyages of exploration, trade, colonization, and human cultivation.

This tea does not taste of coconut as much as it smells of coconut. There is still a decent coconut flavor, but it could be stronger. It doesn’t taste tropical to me, more of a baked goods type flavor. This did make me crave coconut, so I am now on the lookout for more coconut teas. Prepared with almond milk and stevia.
I had read the reviews for this tea in the Adagio Teas website and was quite anxious to taste it. The taste of coconut was not as strong as I thought it would be but it was quite nice. This is a tea that I would recommend drinking while still hot because it doesn’t taste as good when cooled down.
What you can expect is a very dominant black tea taste with fresh coconut taste (not so much toasted coconut). I do think the coconut taste could be stronger but perhaps that is just me.
Along with this tea I ordered hazelnut and cream because I heard they were good mixed with this tea. Hazelnut and coconut went together nicely but coconut and cream was a disappointment, mostly because the cream tea was not of my liking. I would like to know if perhaps other mixes can bring out the coconut flavour a bit more.
All in all, this tea is definitely worth trying if you like black tea.
