Duvet Day

Interesting combo of jasmine, coconut, and cinnamon on a poor white tea base that’s too gentle for this world. I definitely got more coconut and cinnamon than jasmine but it’s all pretty cozy (also, I got covid last week so my nose is funky and weirdly selective of what smells get through – so maybe jasmine suffered from this).

My only complaint is that there’s a tang to the aftertaste which can go sour pretty quickly if left unintended, but otherwise I enjoyed this one.

Oh noooooo. I didn’t notice that this had coconut in it, and it turned rancid surprisingly quickly. It’s sad because I can tell from the initial flavor that this one is pretty tasty! Lovely cinnamon, and I know the coconut would have gone with it very well. I had to dump the cup because the coconut was too bad. I appreciate amandastory516 for sharing this one with me regardless! I’ll have to sample a fresh batch sometime because I love the cookieness that this one promises.

It seems I had this tea exactly 3 weeks ago. Now I prepared it again, as I have heard that coconut go bad quite fast, especially when the flakes are very small and here they are.

I also bought empty tea bags, but they are maybe too big for me, but at least, tea have some space to expand. They are 8,5 × 18,5 (in cm). Yes, they claim they are good for teapots of volume 1-1.6 litre. But what I can do? They did not have smaller ones.

Tea itself was today quite strong. It was, like Cameron B. noticed, quite buttery and, for me, bit vegetal. Then jasmine hit the taste and honestly it wasn’t that coconut heavy as last time. It turned out quite well; base tea was present well, then the coconut and jasmine. The jasmine sooths the “too much” cookie flavour that would be there if it wasn’t there. That was good idea from B&B.

But overall, I am not really sure, if I like coocnut in teas. It feels bit wrong for me, but maybe I just need to used to.

Yay, I finally got my order with this tea in it! In reality, it only took about 10 days to get here, but it feels like forever when I don’t have any tracking…

This is super yummy! It’s like some sort of delicious, sweet coconut and cinnamon confection. The jasmine is very light and adds a nice complimentary flavor that keeps it from being too sweet overall. There’s also a lovely rich and buttery note that really sells the coconut dessert aspect, along with the oat-y flavor of the white base.

Wow, this is exactly what I hoped it’d be! Now I have to decide whether to order a bunch, because you know how teas with fresh coconut are… Hmm…
