Coconut Chai

The aroma is a bit strange; the coconut seems a bit buried or masked by other flavors. Still, makes a great cold chai with some agave and milk – especially as an alternative to Zhena’s Fireside Chai.

Another favorite black tea. The heavy chai flavor is accented wonderfully with ginger and coconut. Like any black tea, if you steep it too long you won’t be able to appreciate the other flavors of the tea.

This is probably one of my more indulgent teas in my collection. I don’t drink it often, but it’s an excellent after dinner treat, full of flavor. Definitely one of my top favorite teas.

I was excited about this tea the moment I opened the tin – it smells AMAZING, and it tastes just as good! It’s just spicy enough, and the coconut is nice but not overpowering. After reading some other reviews I may have to try my next cup with a splash of milk (so fitting during Indy 500 qualifying!).

This is an amazing chai tea. One of the best I’ve ever had. It’s perfectly balanced spice wise and the notes of coconut are perfection.

Typically I only buy loose leaf tea because the quality is generally better but Zhena’s Gypsy teas are very high quality and I would strongly recommend trying this tea out.

Well, this one was a disappointment for me. I quite like coconut, and chais are one of my favorite kinds of tea. I tried this, and it made me think of spiced coconut water. Not tea. I could barely get the taste of tea in it, and the coconut actually was powerful enough to hide most of the spices. I wasn’t impressed, and have not had a cup of this by itself since.

Instead, I steep it along with a bag or Twinings Ultra Spice to even it out and add a lot of soymilk. That’s the only thing that has saved this tea for me. The combo of the two is much more pleasant for me, and is the only reason I’m not pawning the rest of the tin off onto my roommate.

Disappointed that there is no coconut in said coconut chai. Pretty tasty. Pretty pricey too. Much more pricey than tasty.

Smells very sweet! The cinnamon is predominant when smelling.
The tea and coconut blend seamlessly, and the cinnamon and spice flavors are good background notes, not overpowering like a lot of chais. Overall, very very delicious and drinkable!

Woke up craving this tea. Made a large mug of it and my whole living room smelled of coconut. Love it!

I just picked up a tin of this on my last Whole Foods run. While I’m sitting on the decision to purchase the Adagio Tea chai sampler in the next week (as a treat for starting classes in Bmore) I had to have something to tide me over.
The coconut in this tea is the top note that I can detect and kind of overpowers the chai, even though I can taste the chai spices. This is perfectly fine with me because I love cooking with coconut milk, but however due to the high calorie count and its amazing ability to go rancid in a matter of hours, I don’t cook with it often. This tea solves my coconut conundrum. It has a very smooth mouthfeel.
With mine, I sweetened it up a bit, and in an attempt to pull the chai notes out a bit more, I used a touch of almond milk to bury the coconut, as well as a little sweetening from liquid stevia. Incredibly tasty! I’ll be drinking this all week until I can supplement it with the Adagio Tea chai sampler.

The coconut flavor is a great addition to this chai blend, very tasty.

Made directly in milk rather than water, it’s like a hug. So soothing.

I am a huge coconut fan and will drink just about any coconut tea. I have purchased this more than once. I like to have some bag teas around for when I am in a hurry, and this is my go to caffeine tea for those occasions. I do NOT follow the directions, which makes all the difference! I leave the bag in my cup and just never take it out. It makes a much stronger brew that way. I do not milk it, but if you want a hot milk tea that is still pretty strong, just do not put water in! Pour boiling milk over the bag and you get the milk tea flavour without watering it down.
This also makes a decent little tea for cooking. I made a cake with it and it was rather nice.

AMAZING. this tea takes your taste buds on the adventure of their lives. best tea ever

I like the blend of spices in this chai, the coconut flavour is there even if you have to ‘look’ for it – a touch stronger would be nice.

My favorite tea!!! Absolute perfection.

I made this iced and added milk & sugar. It wasn’t a very strong tasting or strong smelling tea but it tasted okay as a cold drink. Wanted more of the coconut to come through when sipping it. Don’t think I would make it hot though since I would probably go to other chai blends that I like (or even make one myself).

I really like the blend of spices in this tea, but there is so little actual tea in the bag, it almost seems like an herbal tea.

This is one of my favorites. I love adding a dollop of honey for the perfect sweetness.

I’m neutral on this one. Not too hot on the smell maybe because I’m not a Pina Colada type person. The drink itself is ok. I thought I wouldn’t like it at all but it’s not bad. I don’t really like the aftertaste tho. The color is nice. A vibrant average black tea color – not gloomy like some Chai’s can be.
