Green Spring Thunder

I’ve decided I don’t like the mouthfeel that coconut gives teas. It’s so smooth it’s nearly oily. I love the way this blend smells, but it is too much like the Harney and Sons green tea with thai flavors that I already have. Meh. Not bad, not great, but drinkable.

Yet another tea I’m finishing off today. I guess I’m just really picky with my flavored greens. I prefer them to be light enough that the taste of the tea comes through nicely. Most flavored greens seem to be more about the flavoring than the tea though, and this one isn’t an exception. It’s a nice flavor though, so I don’t dislike this tea. It’s just not what I’m normally in the mood for when I reach for a green tea so while I don’t hate it, I can’t really love it either.

Hmmm. I’m not really sure if I like this tea or not. The dry leaves smell very strongly of lime, but when it is steeped, it smells more strongly of cocnut. Both flavours are very loud, and I don’t think they are meshing well together – although lime and coconut go very well together generally, in this blend they seem to be fighting and they don’t marry as I would expect them to.

Huge chunks of coconut in the tea though!

This is not a bad tea, but it is too fussy. It misses out on the simple pleasure of being tea.

A little disappointing. This tastes like coconut, but the coconut isn’t as refreshing and prominent as it is in some other coconut teas that I have. I can’t taste the lime much at all. Still good, just not great.
