I’m sorry to say this one was a bit disappointing to me after the name of coconut macaroon because I really wanted it to taste more macaroon-y!

The smell of this is totally divine in both the dry leaf and the brewed tea. But the flavor is a bit weak, it’s a nice green rooibos blend that has some slight coconut flavor. I did try this some with soymilk and that improved the flavor a bit but I liked it more when I added a touch of maple syrup. Anyway, that’s already a lot of doctoring up to do. If you like green rooibos, and coconuts and you don’t mind sweetening this a bit it could be perfect for you! I have a whole tin of it now so I will surely find a way to love it more, maybe by adding some rum. :)

I am having some of this tonight and am bumping the rating up just a wee little bit. I sure was not too crazy about it when I first got it, but the longer steeping time helps. I might even get it again when this tin runs out. :))

Tisane of the evening here… I haven’t been writing as much lately because I’ve been pretty busy. Anyway this is a bit more delicious than I remember and is definitely good with a bit of soymilk.

Happy Valentine’s, Steepster!

Finally I discovered the secret to success with this one is to use more leaf than I normally would and steep it for 7 minutes to really allow the flavors to pop. I added a sugar cube and some soy milk and it is very enjoyable now. Bumped up the score.
