This sample had been sitting forever in my cupboard. I had an unpleasant experience a while back with another Adagio coconut baozhong which made me a little reluctant to try this version. That and coconut being one of my least favorite ingredients in blends. But in the spirit of sipdowns, I finally gave it a go today.

I ambient brewed the tea for 3 hours and then poured over ice. The flavor reminded me of coconut cream pie. Rich, buttery and very coconut forward. You really have to love coconut to appreciate this tea. I couldn’t taste the pouchong base as the coconut flavoring overwhelms everything. Would like to blend this with a straight tea next time to mellow it out a bit.

2021 Sipdown: 27
(First sip down of February!)
Another tiny sample from Adagio
The dry leaf of this one smells good
This one definitely has that sort of artificial coconut flavor. It’s making me think of DavidsTea’s CocoMint Tea. So if you like that tea you’d probably like this one as well. I’m not loving this one I just don’t love the flavor profile of the DavidsTea and this one is very similar tasting to me. I am a huge fan of non-flavored Coconut Pouchong teas. Which is why I ordered this one I don’t think I realized it was flavored. So that’s totally on me but I’m still glad I got to try it.

Cold Brew Sipdown (1421)!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Pouchong/Bao Zhong and coconut are just such a spectacular combination! As a cold brew, this was soft and delicate with silky notes of buttery floral oolong and creamy coconut. It’s light but doesn’t lack richness, and honestly it’s just a very hydrating and soothing thing to sip on.

I have DT’s Coconut Oolong, which is similar (but a bit stronger coconut) so I’m not upset to be finishing this one off – but if I didn’t have a more convenient/accessible tea in the same vein then I would probably consider repurchasing this tea a lot more heavily.

How does DT’s Coconut Oolong compare with others? I was contemplating getting it because it looks like they’re taking it down again soon in the U.S. (why…), but I have a lot of tea I still need to finish off.

Roswell Strange

Baring in mind the fact I’m probably at least a little biased whether I want to be or not, I really like DT’s Coconut Oolong. It’s definitely a stronger coconut than this one, but it’s still very balanced with the Pouchong base. Very light, fresh and a bit flowery. Sadly it was just a limited edition return for the Spring, so once we run out it’ll be done for the season – but I think there’s still a fair amount left?
