I’m drinking this tea & writing this review in response to Nik’s review of Coconut Pouchong. I love coconut!
The scent of the dry leaves is toasted coconut with a hint of vanilla & something sweet. While brewing, I smell that mildly floral oolong base, always so smooth.
While my tea is cooling down enough to sip, I’d like to say that this is my last cup at home this morning, as a group of my adult harp students & I are taking an excursion downtown to have lunch & tea at the London Tea Room, from whence this blend came.
Unsweetened, this tea has a wonderful floral & toasted coconut taste that is smooth & deep, without being overpowering. There is a ‘wetness’ to it that I don’t know how to describe.
A little stevia & I’m drinking a macaroon! I love macaroons, nomnom, they are so yummy, nomnom…
“Hey? Where’s my cup of tea?”
It’s gone!

This is one of my favorites from LTR!
Oooh I think you sent me some. I’ll have to try this!
I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, washing all my little tea cups, various brewing devices, & sniffing the leftover leaves of today’s various brewings, when I came across one that smells so heavenly. What is this? It smells like butter, and carmel, and Orchid oolong. I added hot water, and I’ve been sipping it…It’s a beautiful golden yellow, the flavor is bright & shining. I drank most of it plain, still not sure what it was, some tasty, smooth oolong, then I added a drop of stevia, & the coconut jumped up & said, “Here I am!”
You need to be an animator not a harpist. Your tea has a little voice, you have another personality and your tea talks to you. Ha ha , hee hee, chuckle! (in my imagination your tea voice sounds like Hoops and Yoyo http://youtu.be/sdJZFhXg5SM ha ha ha ha ha!
BTW are you and I the only ones in the WORLD who got our shipment of the Dragonwell yesterday? How’d that happen?
I noticed that, Bonnie! Nobody else has reviewed it yet! We must be special?
I hope that ’special is a good ’special and not the IRS kind of “you’re going to be audited” kind of ’special!
