I happen to be a huge fan of anything coconut flavored and really wanted to like it so I was hoping for the best but didn't have very high expectations. So it was not without pleasure when I tried the tea to find that it had a lovely natural tasting coconut flavor that had me draining the pot. The flavors of the tea are layered with a toasted nuttiness combined with a sweet spiciness. It is soothing and rich at the same time which is a combination that is always the best part when it comes to a cup of tea for me. I usually prefer my tea without milk or sugar but I can see this being absolutely delicious with the addition of both as an accompaniment to dessert. The tea is unique and comforting simultaneously and I'd have to say a definite winner.
