So I have this bad habit of making orders from companies and being really excited about the teas, but then neglecting them because I’m trying to sip down other things. So I’m trying to make an effort to keep a tea from each haul on the counter with my sipdown teas, and right now I’m working on Monsoon and Simpson & Vail.
All that to say, this is the first tea I’ve tried from my order back in October! Sadly, for some reason it just doesn’t quite jive with me. It’s a green tea with mango and coconut flavors and pandan leaf. I think it’s the coconut that I’m not loving? It’s a little bit suntan lotion-y. Overall something about it is just slightly off for me. A shame, as the tea leaves are beautiful – huge and spindly.
So I think this is destined for the rehoming pile, as I’m sure someone else who loves coconut more than I do would probably appreciate it.
Flavors: Artificial, Butter, Coconut, Creamy, Floral, Mango, Sweet, Thick
So glad it went to a good home! And I agree, their teas are a bit odd. The rolled oolong almost seemed more like a green to me, complete with bitterness. But then the greens were quite mellow and smooth. All tasty though!
huh, maybe Monsoon is having a mixup.
