From Golden Moon Tea

“There’s mystery to the art of finding and freeing the floral aroma and rich flavor of a pouchong tea. But the reasons Golden Moon’s Coconut Pouchong is noticeably better than others are pretty simple.

Real coconut makes this South Pacific treat buttery, smooth, and sweet.

It’s the unusually long, elegant leaves of this South Pacific delicacy that give the tea its light, slightly floral, and calming taste. As for that hint of tropical sweetness? We’ve got the nectar of young coconuts to thank.

Our Pouchong is grown in the Fujian Province, just outside of the Wuyi Mountains. The farm is located on sunbaked land that is mostly mountainous and is traditionally described to be "Eight parts mountain, one part water, and one part farmland.” That’s how we get a tea leaf with smooth floral notes, a light body, and a sweet finish.
Coconut Pouchong uses only real extract. In order to extract the coconut naturally, we start with real coconuts and roast, shred, and steep them for over one week. We then strain the coconut pieces leaving only pure coconut extract that is both smooth and buttery.

1) Bring fresh, filtered water to 180°F
2) Pour over your tea leaves in a teapot (1 spoonful of tea per serving)
3) Steep 3 minutes
4) Stir, strain, and enjoy!

It seems there was enough left for 1 and a half attempts left so I am over steeping the amount but not the length. After today’s steep this smells a lot like ‘green roughage’ as my mother used to say while talking about Spinach, Kale, and other dark leafy greens. Over the past year I have become quite fond of Coconut Pouchongs and this one is no exception.

Omg, what a delightful smell! I’m sure this one will be a winner. It smells of sweet coconut. I could just sniff it and be happy :)
But lets steep it… Its yellow, quite light.

It has a similar smell, just less coconut and more green tea. Still delicious.

Tastes good, it’s scented very good with this coconut essence. Sweet, coconut-y and you can taste delicious green tea too. One of the best scented teas I had so far for sure. A perfect desert tea :) Too bad I only had this sampler.

Funny thing is, I’m not even a big fan of coconut ;)

I had the same reaction! I don’t like coconut, but I like this tea :)

This cup of tea is decent today. I needed something different.
A bit drying in the mouth, but the flavor is smooth & definitely coconut. I’ve been trying to stay away from Golden Moon ever since my disaster experience with their honey pear. A good, drinkable tea. I don’t think I’ll purchase this, but it’s pleasant tonight.

Good description-it does have a dry flavor…

I got the tea canister I originally rated at this shady tea store. Shady, meaning there were teas that expired a year ago on the shelf still. It didn’t have any dates on the package I bought, so I have no idea how old it really was.

When I tasted this tea with the sampler, it was so much different, and brighter! This tea needs to be as fresh as possible to enjoy!

Lesson learned…don’t go to tea shops with dust on their tea boxes!

ok, it is just SAD and horribly wrong if a tea store has teas that have expired a year ago. I encountered this very thing at a local wal-mart. I wasn’t shopping for tea, but I just was perusing their tea section, and found some that intrigued me, picked up the box and saw that it was expired by nearly a year. From that point forward, I haven’t even bothered to go through the tea section again. My opinion is if a store doesn’t care enough about their teas to be mindful of expiration dates, they don’t deserve my patronage.

It makes me very sad to know that a store that is dedicated to tea would be so careless about the quality of tea that they offer.

It was a store in a college town, I didn’t think much when buying it. They had so much tea around, I didn’t even think what the turnaround would be like. Now, I know what to look for in a tea store. At my local Asian store, they still have teas from 2003!

This smells so good! I love how creamy it is and yes, true coconut flavored. It’s pretty leaf- and cup-wise too. Curious how it’d taste cold steeped.

Had a second cup it was so good (I must be a zombie today because at first I started to pour hot water over the steeping basket without a cup underneath it whoa o_O), this time with my late lunch of leftover chicken and shrimp salad with grapes, green apple, oranges, fried shallots, and serrano chile (Madhur Jaffrey’s recipe) and it was fantastically delicious. I love when tea makes a good meal even better.

Oh, I can relate to zombie moments! yesterday, I set my cup to receive water from the Keurig, and I left the lid on the cup so that hot water went everywhere! Glad you’re having a good tea day, though.

Backlog from earlier today.
Mmm. The coconut in this is amazing. It’s almost as if I were drinking coconut milk. Yum! So smooth and creamy, with an authentic coconut flavour. Getting some floral notes, too. I’m guessing it’s the pouchong? This is so good… I’d imagine it’d taste amazing iced, too.

Resteep: Not as flavourful as the first steep, but still quite tasty! I might try a third steep, but I think that’d be the limit for this.

My awesome HoppiTEA, Alana237, sent this in my package so I am enjoying a fragrant cuppa right now.

This is the first tea I’ve tried from Golden Moon. I really enjoy the deep coconut flavor (and fragrance!), but the pouchong tea is what I’d write home about.

It’s grassy and mellow, light but not so much that the coconut overpowers the tea flavor. It’s a comforting, fragrant cup. Delish!

frenchvanilla sent this one to me…thanks!!

I’ve not had many of Golden Moon’s teas (in fact, I think I’ve only had their Lapsang Souchong), so I’m really excited about this. I didn’t sniff it prior to brewing (too cold!! Must get tea into tea maker and retreat to nest on couch!), but I could smell it after it had brewed, and it’s got this wonderful oolong scent to it…sweet, golden grassy notes.

Coconut taste is very mild to me…in fact, I don’t know if I would have identified it had I just been handed the cup to drink. It is smooth, and creamier than most oolongs I’ve had (perhaps the coconut milk does this?). I’m definitely enjoying it, but if I’m going to drink a coconut flavored tea, I want it to be really coconut flavored. And probably in a black tea base.
