Last one from Nelson’s, huzzah!
I was surprised to see that the oolong in this one is an oxidized rolled variety, which I find very uncommon in flavored blends.
This is okay but since I’m not big on coconut in teas, it’s not my favorite. I think the coconut tastes a touch soapy, but it’s difficult to tell with the ginger in there. Overall, it has a Thai vibe to it with the coconut + ginger combination. All that’s missing is lemongrass! As for the vanilla, I’m not sure I get that specifically, but this does have a creamy-custardy flavor to it.
As for Nelson’s in general, I didn’t really like any of the seven teas I tried, so I probably won’t get any more teas from them. Just based on the flavoring style of these blends, I don’t think they’re a good fit for me.
Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Custard, Ginger, Smooth, Soap, Sweet
Hi AJ, Thank you for the review, the coconut is a natural vegan coconut flavoring, plus toasted coconut. You nailed it that we actually use a bit of our turmeric latte blend in this blend. It gives it a bit of a kick. If you’d send us an email, perhaps we could figure out what flavors you like and get you something you’d really enjoy. Thanks! – Nelson’s Tea
