Full Review on http://sororiteasisters.com/ on the 22nd but here are my snippits:
Coconut Cacao from The Persimmon Tree is a lovely way to experience your daily pu erh intake! I love pu erh for its health benefits but I also simply love the deep flavors of pu erh itself. Some however do not care for pu erh let alone unadulterated pu erh so they may tend toward something like this to get their health benefits.
I will say that I am not too fond of the initial aroma of this tea in its dry form or its steeped form. I personally find the aroma a bit off putting however in talking to others, I seem to be the only one who is put off by the aroma. Its probably just me. I just thought it only fair to state this in my review. As for the taste however, its lovely!
The combination of chocolate and coconut into a pu erh base is genius! One reviewer on The Persimmon Tree website, and fellow Steepster, calls it their tea latte without milk! I have to agree, it is quite creamy, full, earthy without being too earthy, and just sinfully delicious. I don’t even find it too sweet either which shows what a masterful blend it is!
Another thing I respect about The Persimmon Tree is their committment to our environment. On their “About” page you will find the following:

must…try…this…
I still haven’t tried my sample of this… so much tea…
Hmm, yes, I found aroma issues as well. Flavour was mostly quite good though (but unfortunately aroma is a critical part of the tea drinking experience…)
This is true! It is! I found as it cooled the aroma was not as strong – did you notice that ?
I wonder if this is anything like the cacao I got from Herbal Infusions!
was the aroma of it also sort of strange?
I actually didn’t get too much off aroma once steeped, but the dry tea was truly nauseating.
No but it was just plain cacao. I imagine the coconut would make it a bit odd lol
