tigress_al drank Coconut Creme Pie by Butiki Teas

Thanks to Stacy for setting up that FB contest. I was so surprised to win the flavoured prize!!! So excited!

NOTE: this is the re-envisioned version of this tea.

This smells amazing. Sweet coconut.

The taste is good. Yummy coconut that is creamy and slightly sweet on it’s own. The rooibos base comes through, and I could see how it can relate to pie crust, slightly nutty with an earthy base to it.

I added a tiny splash of milk to the last sip of the cup. This really amped up the cup and cut some of the earthiness of the rooibos. I think this would be best as a rooibos. I will certainly be trying that next time!

Congrat’s on the win! I read how everyone loves this. Wah… it has rooibos so I can’t drink it…allergic…(selfish of me to say so though since I still have lots of tea to drink!) It sounds so good!

Bonnie-I could make this for you with a different base tea if you’d like.

This would be so good as a black tea or a honeybush!

tigress_al, a black tea would work well. I’m thinking a Bai Mu Dan might be interesting too.

Ooooh white, you should sell that!

Bonnie 2012-09-18 12:42:34 -0400

Didn’t you used to make this in a black before Stacy?

tigress_al-A white coconut cream pie would be interesting though it might be more like coconut milk.

Bonnie-Nope, its always been a rooibos.

Oh man, that would be sooo good, you should try it! I would totally buy it. And I bet Bonnie would too!

Bio

Hello,
I am a nurse, I love to do so many things: reading, card making, scrapbooking, photography, playing with my nieces, shopping, and of course TEA!

I only started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I had a DavidsTea for the first time and have been obsessed ever since! My favourite is probably white but I have black every morning to wake me up! I enjoy most flavours out there! My favourite flavours are nutty, fruity, chocolate, jasmine, tropical.

Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.
