The coconut dragged me into this one but I can’t taste it at all. Slight coconut aroma in the dry leaf but nothing more.

With every sip, I go back and forth between thinking this is like a floral green and a toasty dark, so I’m happy to see that Sil had the same experience.

First steep is sweeter and slightly greener, while this second steep is toastier overall. Another interesting observation is that the steeped tea smells damp if that makes any sense, kind of like damp woods.

Ultimately, it’s an interesting oolong but the sample was more than enough.

Agreed. The coconut tasted more like a really cooked coconut to me. Overall, chocolate orchid was the best way to describe it. https://www.google.com/search?q=chocolate+orchid&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=667&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjx98z0oenLAhWhs4MKHd60Ds0Q_AUIBygC
