Love this tea! Very relaxing and a little sweet, which isn’t usually my scene, but I love this in the evening or when I’m trying to relax.

Absolutely delicious aroma and flavor. Strong flavors of caramel and coconut. And it works! I slept well after drinking this according to the app on my smart watch. Love it!

The flavour of this tea is pretty nice. It’s sweet but not boldly sweet to the point that you feel punched in the face. The flavours I find most dominating are coconut and caramel but again it’s not in a crazy bold kind of way, the flavours blend together quite nicely and are really subtle. As well, after this cup has sat for a while, I felt that the coconut scent became more apparent.

Coconut, caramel. Super cozy. I love this one.

I had not read too much on this tea before purchasing, but I did notice it is a rather popular blend. I let it brew for a good 6 minutes before I tried any and actually decided to just leave the tea bag in the cup while I drank it. I could really taste the different things that went into the tea, I had that slight creaminess and a hint of coconut. I did not get too much caramel until I was about half way through the cup so I think next time I’ll let it steep longer. As much as I was enjoying this tea, there was some herb or flavor that I kept getting, that I was not the biggest fan of, I didn’t mind it but it just felt a little out of place for my liking.
Overall I did enjoy the tea and will enjoy what I have left of it, I might purchase more if my next couple of cups don’t have that same taste, or if it changes more after a longer steeping.

Amazing tea. A must have.

This is the very first tea I was given by a co-worker that started my addiction with David’s tea. I love everything about this tea, even the subtle coconut. Let me tell you it really helps with sleep too! Definitely a staple night time tea.

I’m loving the coconut taste in this. I don’t particularly like the taste of valerian and the other flavours mask it well. Not sure it actually helps me sleep, but definitely relaxing.

A sachet of this came in the sampler bag I ordered, so I thought why not try it tonight? My first cup was….well honestly it was freaking delicious. I am so into all of DTs coconut teas, guys. The caramel adds the perfect kind of sweetness. The second cup was less delicious however – more of the apple-ness came out and it took on that sort of minerally flavor DTs apple blends seem to turn into, almost like the water isn’t filtered? (which mine always is) Still, I love that this is a non-traditional “sleepy time” tea without the usual villains like lavender or rose. I’m not sure if this is LE but I have sleeping problems that usually only medication works on, and this definitely helped. I think I’m going to grab a huge tin to always have on hand.
