This tea has been on my wishlist since forever. I love anything coconut, especially coconut cream pie! I’m kind of amazed that this tea doesn’t taste more strongly of rooibos. There’s a little hint of it in there, but not overwhelming at all. The coconut flavor is pretty subtle, but it’s there – nice and creamy. I’m not getting any of the graham cracker crust taste mentioned, but I can live without that. Any rooibos that you can’t actually taste the rooibos is a winner in my book! This will be a nice tea to have on hand for those nights when I need a sweet and calming dessert tea.
Today was a busy day. We had two friends over to help with house projects (changing out ceiling fans, doorknobs, light switches, etc.) and the house went from being very clean to a disaster really quick. But it’s back in order, more of the projects are complete (but still more to do) and we have a new sparkly wreath for the front door that I put together while I was supervising the boys so they didn’t burn the house down. :) I’ve also started the semester out great (insert sarcasm here), and procrastinated until the last minute for all of this homework that is due on the first day of class. Some of my classmates are doing the homework now and saying that it takes forever, and I’m mad at myself for waiting to start it. My plan of attack is to get up really early and get it done so that I can enjoy my Sunday, and the last official day of break!
-Dry blend has small pieces of red rooibos with large slivers of coconut.
-Dry leaves smell lightly of coconut pie with a hint of mediciney rooibos. Tea liquor aroma is of warm rooibos and fresh coconut.
-Tea liquor is a clear medium orange brown color.
-Smooth fresh coconut flavor and finish. Creamy coconut pie aftertaste.
-Best with sweetener.
-Very good tea. A creamy cup. Subtle coconut cream pie flavor. No strong rooibos taste.
