This tasty rich tea is one of our most popular blends. Its creamy goodness will soothe your soul for ‘o so oolong.’
Steeping Suggestions: Use one teaspoon (3g) of tea per 6oz ‘cup’ of water. Steep at 82-90°C (180-194°F) for 2-4 minutes.
Multiple steeps recommended, the first steep for 1-2 minutes is all coconut and the second steep 2-3 minutes is full of more tasty Oolong flavour!
Thank you beelicious for another sample from Banff Tea Co which I would otherwise never have heard of! This one consists of tightly wound pearls of dark green oolong, and pieces of coconut. The coconut has been tinted green from storage with the oolong, which scared me a little at first. But upon checking the description, there were no other ingredients or additives, so it’s just… chlorophyll? Probably wouldn’t hurt.
The aroma of this one, both before and after brewing, is fresh, sweet coconut. It reminds me more of coconut milk or coconut water, instead of preserved pieces! The tea brews up to be very light in color. Upon tasting, the coconut note floats to the top, almost light and airy. The oolong base is excellent; I haven’t had much experience with milk oolongs but this must be one. It’s naturally creamy in a way that complements the coconut perfectly. A little leafy, and definitely fragrant, but not at all floral unlike other green oolongs. Very happy to have tried this one!
HAH, the name of this company always makes me think of BAMF. Not sure that’s what they were going for. :P
Probably not; Banff is a Canadian town located within Banff National Park in Alberta ;) It’s sorta like a tourist town?
LOL! I’d come up with tea names to match if that was my company name :p
If my Tea Company was Bamf Tea all my blends would have names like “Chris Hemsworth”, “Benedict Cumberbatch”, “William Fitchner”…
Looks like such a beautiful place! I have one more Banff Tea Co sample that is forest/wildlife-inspired, I’ll have to try that one soon :)
Come on Roswell… What about Jason Statham? Denzel?
Not really my thing :P My teas would be more Chris Pratt, Russel Brand, Maggie Grace, Olivia Wilde, Andrew Garfield, Kerry James, Rami Malik, Bob Morley, Dominic Monaghan, Lee Pace, Elden Hensen… Basically just listed off the bulk of my celeb crushes for you.
+1 for Lee Pace!
One of my favorites… even my non-tea drinking husband loves this one!!
beelicious – thank you for sharing this uncommon treat!
And wow, the BAMF nominations list on this note keeps on growing :)
