I assume this must have been from the subscription box, as I am not a huge fan of coconut so I can’t imagine ordering this blend. There are huge flakes of unsweetened coconut in it, so naturally I was nervous about not knowing how old the pouch is. But generally it’s very obvious from the smell when coconut has gone rancid, and fortunately this smells perfectly pleasant.
As a coconut tolerator, and not a coconut lover, I’m pleasantly surprised that the coconut is fairly light here, just a supporting flavor. The milk oolong is fairly basic, without much depth to it, but it’s still a pleasant combination. There are mild grassy, leafy notes and of course a smooth creamy flavor. At the tail end of the sip, a light peachy note emerges, and it remains in the aftertaste.
It’s not complex, but nice enough to sip on in the evening. The light coconut flavor melds nicely with the creamy oolong for a decadent tea.

I suggest you drinking coconut teas rather fast than slow, I remember keeping one tea with coconut and the last brew wasn’t great as coconut went bit rancid.
Martin, sorry for my late reply. But yes, I understand it perfectly. The fat in coconut pieces is going to oxidize pretty fast, spoiling the entire tea. Fortunately I only have a small sample bag, so I have only one portion left.
