From DAVIDsTEA

Cuckoo for coconut

We are big fans of coconuts around here – they might just be the coolest food on the planet. For one thing, they’ve been around since prehistoric times, making them one of the oldest plants you can find. Plus they have so many amazing applications, it’s no wonder people in Malaysia call the coconut palm “The Tree of a Thousand Uses.” But as far as we’re concerned, the number one reason to love them is this delicious coconut and oolong blend. Creamy, rich, sweet and fresh, it’s satisfying, comforting and completely addictive. Take it from us: you’ll go nuts for it.

Ingredients: Pao Zhong oolong tea, coconut flakes, artificial coconut flavouring.

Received a little sample packet of this with my last order. And I’m glad I did! The dry leaf smell is amazing: toasted coconut and… butter? Yes, definitely picking up on a buttery scent – a little bit like popcorn.

Steeped, the smell is just as heavenly, only now that toasted coconut seems to just be fresh coconut. Mmmm, this reminds me of suntan lotion and the beach and warm sunny days; so good!

Taste is wonderfully smooth and buttery with a little sweet, tropical note from the coconut. The oolong presents as mildly vegetal, but in a way that works surprisingly well with the coconut. More of buttery, toasty vegetal than a “I just steamed up some spinach in this water” taste. Very well done.

This just may go on the shopping list!

ETA: Everyone was right; the second steep is amazing.

I cold brewed this overnight earlier in the week. This is tasting a tiny bit artificial but it is smooth coconut.
That was the last little bit of this tea. I really enjoyed it. I would buy it if it came back

So went out to DAVIDsTea today. :) Second time I’ve ever been there in person, so I was very excited to finally go again today after a year. Anyway, I happily smelled pretty much every tea in the building, bought the new elephant mug, and also walked out with a bunch of teas. :) Overall, a success!

Anyway, I’m a bit disappointed to find out too late (50g bag, anyone?) that this tea actually contains artificial ingredients (I dodge as much as possible) but I won’t lament on that, because I could’ve researched more first. That said, it tastes really delicious! :) It actually tastes like toasted coconut, and not like chemicals at all despite the ingredients.

The girl at the store said this tea works well with multiple infusions, so I’ve kept the leaves to the side to test that theory once this cup is done. :)

As the cup cools, the coconut flavor comes more into the foreground, though it definitely wasn’t mild prior, hehe. :)

Very excited to be drinking out of my first infuser mug. I want a whole bunch now! :)

EDIT: Had a second infusion. It’s definitely much weaker than the first, but still good and coconutty. :) I don’t think this could handle a third. Also just wanted to mention how beautiful and HUGE the leaves are when they’re fully opened up. I was really admiring the difference between the dry leaf in the tin, and the steeped leaf in the infuser. Almost looked like I had a salad in there, ha! Infusers really are a lot more fun than T-sacs. :)

OMGsrsly

My second steep today was delicious as well! Considering keeping the leaves for tomorrow, but I’m getting a bit coconut-ted out, if that can be a thing.

Crowkettle

Coconut-ted out is definitely a thing- the softer second steep is nice in that instance. :)

Imagine being at the beach seated by the shore. The smell of the ocean, the feel of the tropical breeze blowing through your hair and the sound of the waves as you wiggle your toes in the white sand. Take in a long deep breath, exhale and that is how a cup of Coconut Oolong transports those who enjoy its delicious liquor. It is very satisfying to the senses in both its dry and brewed form.

So far this spring being on the island, the tropical theme has been working for me. Especially with the coconut teas. I’ve been loving the smooth flavors and the balance of tones that offer a refreshing touch. It just has upped the energy level immensely. If this is a preview of what is to come in the summer I’m all for it. Happy drinking everyone!

I found an Oolong I like!!!!

I was trying to find an oolong that I liked, but have never found one. I’ve tried the Milk Oolong and the Carrot Cake one from Davidstea, but didn’t care for either of them. I actually gave up trying to find one I liked for a while. I figured I would go my life without finding one that made me smile… but, when I heard about a coconut oolong from Davidstea, I thought I might as well give it a try. I LOVE coconut. I think it’s just one of the most delicious and soothing tastes ever. I think it’s so lovely and should be added to everything. haha

Anyway, this tea is delightful! It is smooth and tasty. I like the smoothness of the coconut and I like how it is the main flavour I get. I can tell that the oolong is in there, but it’s not in a way that I find it too crazy overpowering. I will have to buy a tin of this at some point. It’s too delicious not to.

Delish!!

Got this as a sample – much appreciated.
Coconut is one of those flavors that I really like, probably because it ads some creaminess to the tea and since I don’t like milk or cream in my tea it all works out. Some vegetal and fresh notes here, perhaps a bit too “sharp” for my taste. Second steep seems to even it out and I like it better.

Let’s…don’t even…I can’t…the thing is…I…this…

This is not a tea. This is a miracle. Brewing this is brewing a tiny cup of miracle.

Even just the smell is spectacular – an experience. I could smell this tea from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. It is. So good.

It steeps to a beautiful dark gold color. I can’t describe the way it tastes with words like smooth, or creamy, or buttery. It is all of those things, but so are a lot of teas, and this tea is different. It is so satisfying, and the steamy smell tickles your nose the entire time you’re drinking it. It’s very good iced, but I think that hot is where this tea really shines. It’s an oolong, so you can get multiple steeps, but nothing like that first one.

I still feel like I haven’t accurately described this tea. It tastes like a hundred puppies climbing over you all at once. It tastes like winning a card game. It tastes like throwing a penny into a fountain and making a wish. It is so good.

You can’t buy it anymore. That is not okay. If you have a soul, you will email DavidsTea and beg them, BEG them to bring it back. It’s for the good of us all.

A deliciously creamy coconut flavored oolong. It does almost seem like it has hints of a milk oolong, but, I think that’s my imagination. It’s very sweet tasting and has an amazing coconut smell. The dry leaves as well as the liqueur carry the aroma. It’s up there with my favorites for the time being.
