Yep, a coconut tea, which I don’t like to stock up on these days, but this was $1 and only an ounce. I woke up this morning thinking this blend might be a disaster so I wanted to drink it today just to check. It’s very good though! I didn’t think the green yerba mate flavor would work with the coconut flavor, but it tastes seamless here. I actually had to check to see if this really was yerba mate – and it is. Maybe yerba mate tastes earthier the older it gets? It’s very mellow here! I’m sure it being mixed with a black tea helps balance the flavor. And I can really appreciate a FRESH coconut tea. It’s so good here. Tastes just like a coconut macaroon and I’m not sure how mixed with black tea and yerba mate! Even the second steep is lovely at boiling, maybe a slight bit of the base flavors more present. I’m glad I spent that dollar on this.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for full mug // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 minute steep

Ahhh, fresh coconut tea, those were the days…
haha :D I’m making it my mission to finish this one earlier than not (but the poor other teas will wait longer! sigh.)
I listened to their podcast Steeping Around. Kept me interested for at least the first episode. I have liked all the teas I bought except the prickly pear, though I’m still experimenting with water temp on that one. I’ll probably purchase from them again.
Oh, I didn’t know they had a podcast! I’m glad you liked all the tea you bought (minus one). I will be verry slowly trying them all probably.
