Advent Day 13

I do love coconut teas, but I rarely buy them anymore. Maybe if I had a smaller cupboard where my tea stash was manageable and I could drink it before it went bad, but that’s just not the kind of cupboard I keep. It’s a sacrifice. :D

Steeped up this tea is kind of one dimensional. I get creamy coconut enhanced by the vanilla, but that’s it. There is a little bit of an astringent twang and a rooibos dryness at the end. I’d love it if it were multifaceted and had additional flavors to play off the coconut. Lime, cinnamon, smoke and mango are flavors that come to mind that pair well with coconut. I recently made some vegan bacon from coconut shavings to use as toppings in salads and I can’t stop grabbing handfuls of it to snack on instead. I want a coconut tea that I can’t get enough of like that! This is not that tea.

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
