I had this tea a few days ago when I couldn’t quite log it (or even write it down), so my impressions are somewhat hazed and dazed.
The tea arrived to me among others in a mystery pack I got from MissB. Thank you, MissB, for including it :)
I love coconut in everything (my husband just recently brewed a lime & coconut belgian wit beer… It’s not ready yet but it’s going to be AWESOME!) and I absolutely loved the smell of this one. The taste disappointed me a little, however, since the base tea turned out to be a rather pungent sencha. It turns out, the more and more tea I drink, that I am not so huge on sencha. I can see myself craving this seaweedy flavor from time to time, but when I think yummy green, I think dragonwell, gunpowder, or some other Chinese green. So… yeah, the sencha was pretty strong and it spoiled coconut for me a bit. I also detected some matcha bitterness in it. It could’ve been that some of the sencha powdered up a bit and stuck to the coconut pieces and then imitated matcha.
It’s a pretty unique tea, I will definitely have more of it, too. Perhaps I will like it more next time :)
OOh! The Belgian Wit sounds delish!
I know! We kind of tasted it flat before priming it and bottling, and it seemed super promising. I wonder how it’s going to turn out carbonated.
I look forward to hearing about it. :)
