Coco Chai Rooibos

My friends Sophie and Patricia offered me this tea for my birthday. It smells very good and I really appreciated the taste too.

My first chai experience… First of all I must say I am a huge cinnamon fan. Cinnamon Heart is my all-time favourite tea from Davids Tea. So when I first smelled Coco Chai I was very attracted to the cinnamony, spicy aroma. Once brewed, the smell gets very strong but the taste is surprisingly soft and mellow in the mouth! I can’t honestly distinguish the spices but there is a nice ginger aftertaste and the cinnamon warms me up. I added one honey stick to give it a little sweet touch and enjoyed that cup until the very last sip! Will definitely drink this again!

Not the best rooibos tea I’ve ever had, and not the best chai tea I’ve ever had either.
It’s pretty good, and I am enjoying what I purchased, but I don’t think I’d buy it again.
I guess I wish I tasted the chai more.

Way too coconutty for my taste but if you like coconut then this tea would definitely be for you.

Day 21 of my advent calendar,

Didn’t drink this one as i hate this tea. really can’t deal with all of the spices…

I was recommended this by a staff because I was battling stomach problems that night. I eventually tried it for non stomach problems. It smells absolutely amazing in the bag. I really love the smell of coconut and spices, so I was excited to try it! I was pretty disappointed trying this tea. A lot of what I tasted was grass and a kick from the peppercorns. I tried to make coco chai rooibos with soy milk. It didn’t taste super bad.

Oh delightful. Slightly spicy, and the coconut brings a lovely smooth sweetness. Warm, and perfect for fall.

This is an interesting blend and a rather spicy tea, and a nice chai blend.

It’s better hot on a cold day and isn’t something i would drink as a daily tea. It’s great in the moment, and you’ll easily forget this is a rooibos tea. The coconut certainly helps bring all the spice together. I would drink this from time to time, it sounds like it would go great in a latte too.

I love rooibos, and am a big fan of chai, so this tea really works for me. It’s spicy and aromatic, and the hint of coconut is enough to make it truly interesting. A sure win, guaranteed!

I’m in the minority here – but I can’t stand this tea! I thought it was something I was doing wrong so I ordered a Coco Chai Rooibos Tea Latté at a David’s Tea store hoping they’d do something differently to make it suddenly amazing – alas, it is not to be.

There is a spicy-chai-ness to this tea but the undertone tastes really unpleasant to me. To me, this tastes like when I’ve blown my nose and gotten mucus in my mouth… I usually love rooibos teas but this one is a disappointment to me.

This was the first tea I bought from Davids Tea (on my sister in law’s recommendation). It is still my favourite tea today. I like rooibos tea for its natural sweetness, and the coconut and chai spices give the tea a nice little kick. I always have to have a tin of this in the house.

Not bad. I quite like the spicy flavour and the fact that there is no bitterness to it. It’s fun! I am not sure this is something I would drink every day though! I have yet to try it with milk.

This tastes like fall embodied. I forget if it’s supposed to be a fall collection tea (I remember it being winter), but it’s more a ‘drink this in front of a fireplace for the full experience’ than… whatever you’re supposed to do with tea in autumn. I: It’s a chai tea and it has peppercorns scattered in it, along with coconut slivers and some other things I don’t care about.
I haven’t tried it in latte form yet, but I imagine it’d be fantastic.

I’ve gone through a whole bag of it basically on my own and I already want more. =P

I love coconut, cardamom and other chai spices. A good tea if you have some high quality honey to add. Not sure if they’re still doing it, but in autumn one year, they were making chai lattes out of this one. It makes a pretty decent chai latte.

+just had my first cup. the scent was just as nice as the tea. really enjoyed my cuppa.

The scent is so intense and spicy, but the taste is so smooth and mellow.

This tea relaxes me so much, it’s my right before bed tea.

Better than warm milk :p

Makes a great chai latte with a teeny bit of a kick from those peppercorns.
Would do well with a little bit more coconut for a richer body, but overall it makes a good cup either with milk or without.

I drink this tea sweetened with either raw sugar or agave, with a touch of milk.
It can also be great spiked with a cream based liquor.

This really is one of my favorite teas. I have restocked my stash many times, and now just buy a large tin of it.
For Christmas, I bought 5 or 6 packets of it to give as gifts so I could make sure all my lovelies tried some~

A few people here commented on the strong taste of ginger in this blend, and you know, I have drank SO much of this tea and never picked out a distinct ginger flavour.
Really prevalent are the tastes of coconut (which is heavenly), the peppercorns come next.
You take a sip and the coconut is almost creamy, the cardamom and cinnamon pair together nicely in this nice comforting warmth. Once the rest of the flavors are gone, you are left the spicy hints of the peppercorns.

Davids Tea says “Its the kind of thing you get addicted to”.They don’t lie.

This is an AMAZING tea to bring in a large thermos when you need to brave the cold.
It’s warm flavors are an even better treat than hot chocolate !~
