From 52teas

I was pretty excited when people asked that this tea be included in the vote for the 2016 12 Teas of Christmas, and even happier when this tea turned out to be one of the top vote getters. This has been one of the more memorable 52Teas blends for me – I love coconut! – so I was really happy to have the opportunity to reblend it.

The original description of this tea said:

Our Coconut Cream Pie flavored black tea has been one of our bestsellers here at Zoomdweebie’s since we opened. In addition to the pouches of this tea that we’ve sold, we sell a LOT of beverages made from this tea, in particular, this is probably our all time bestselling iced tea latte, one sip of which has led people to exclaim, “That’s like coconut cream pie in a glass!” I’ve also been frequently challenged on our assertion that our tea lattes are all fat-free, particularly with this tea.

It is simply so decadent, so wonderfully sweet and satisfying, that people cannot believe that we didn’t just liquefy a slice of coconut cream pie and serve it to them in a glass.

For the 52teas version of this tea, we are adding some honking-big flakes of unsweetened coconut to our premium black tea blend along with coconut and vanilla flavors.

So, obviously, I needed to change up the recipe somewhat because the black tea that I use is different from the ones utilized by Frank. I started with my black tea base of organic Indian and Chinese teas. I did use some “honking-big flakes of unsweetened coconut” as well as some vanilla beans and calendula petals.

This is very coconut-y, very creamy and oh-so-yummy! It’s been a while since I’ve had some of Frank’s version of this tea, but I’d say that I did pretty well with this blend! If my review of this tea is any indication – I think my black tea might be a bit stronger than the original version – but the other flavors are on point!

organic ingredients: black teas, coconut, calendula petals, vanilla beans and natural flavors.

I ordered this from 52T recently because I love coconut and the reviews just made this sound so good…

I wonder if something is up with the re-blend because I get a lot more black tea base than coconut, and I am finding the base to be slightly on the bitter side. I added coconut sugar and soymilk to this but am wishing for more coconut flavor. Alas. I think I will try steeping this again with some slightly different parameters, perhaps with less leaf or a shorter steeping time. For now I do not love it, but the flavor is nicer as the tea cools.

This is the first tea that I bought from 52 Teas. The coconut flavor was rich and very good, and the aroma was great. I thought the black tea base could’ve used a little improvement, though, as it had a touch of bitterness. Just a very little bit. But overall, this tea lived up to its name and was quite satisfying to quench a craving for coconut cream pie. I would buy this again and continue to try other teas by 52 Teas (I have two others at home right now, Cinnamon Roll Honeybush and Apricot Cheesecake).
