drank Coconut Cream Pie by DAVIDsTEA
85 tasting notes

It was a rather difficult day and I was very thankful for the chance to get some alone time while my husband took the kids out of the house. I sat down to watch a new favourite of mine, Travelers. As I was watching the show, I decided it would be well matched with warm cup of tea as the rain hit the window the thunder let me know the sky was alive.

I really didn’t pay much attention to what I was grabbing other than that it was part of the Your Daily Resolution tea set that I had opened this morning. As always I opened the tea and gave it a great sniff knowing right away it was something with coconut. It brews a cloudy pale yellow and produces a coconut and grassy aroma. Taste wise it is ok, it is smooth and creamy, with a grassy taste and a hint of mint (not sure where this comes from) but I did not taste the coconut that I smelt in the dry leaves and in the scent wafting in my face.

My husband tried a bit (he is not a tea drinker) and he thought it was more nutmeg flavoured.

While I will not go out of my way to buy this again, I am sure others will enjoy this. I have come to realize I am not much of a coconut fan in my teas.

Resolution with this tea – Eat (and drink) more ginger … ironically this made me laugh since there is no ginger in the tea.

Oh no, I’m sorry you had a difficult day but I hope having that muchly needed alone time was able to make up for most of it.

I wasn’t a fan of this one either.

Bio

I am happily married to my husband who definitely is the chatterbox of our 20 year relationship. Together we have three rambunctious children 2 daughters and a son who is stuck in the middle of the girls. We also have a 17 year old fur baby (cat) who likes to the rule house and tell us at midnight it is time to pay attention to him rather than sleep.

I am an elementary school teacher, teaching grade 3/4 with a mixed bag of learning abilities and educational needs. I love my job and share my passion for learning with my students.

I have been a tea drinker since I was allowed to take my first sip, which was very early in life and was mostly the Rose Hip and Earl Grey my grandma would brew by the pot full and serve when company came over. Later in my teen life (once I had more choice of my own) I fell in love with peppermint and green teas. I love hot brews and iced teas. Now I will try just about any kind of tea as long as it doesn’t contain nuts or gluten (damn allergies ruin everything).

I prefer my tea to be natural, meaning without any added sweeteners or cream/milk. I want to be able to experience the tea as it was intended.

My Rating Scale:
0-20: OMG what did I just put into my mouth! I cannot keep this it must be trashed or rehomed.
20-40: Horrible, not something I will drink again, but someone else may still like it
40-60: Ok, nothing overly special, it is kept around because others like it
60-80: Good, either I or someone else in the house liked it
80-95: Great! Will drink this occasionally and will keep it around
95-100: Absolutely amazing, and must keep it in stock at all times!

I invite you to join me as I go through my stash and share my thoughts and opinions on the teas as I and my family drink them (or eat them as my 3 year old says when I use matcha in icing)
