Description

Even in the coldest chill of winter, our refreshing Coconut tea will imbue your cup with a taste of summer in the tropics. Combining the flavor of fresh coconuts with bright Ceylon black tea, you will have to fight the urge to wear your grass skirt out in public.

Story

The origin of coconut remains a mystery. However, many historian believe that the earliest coconuts grew in Malaysia and Indonesia. Its earliest written record appears in Sanskrit, revealing that the people of India were exposed to this fruit. Coconut images may also be found in pre-Columbian pottery unearthed in Peru, Marco Polo made a note of his encounter with the fruit when visiting India. He called it "Pharoah's nut." Other travelers were equally impressed. Coconuts feature prominently in the journals of Magellan and Francis Drake.

"This is one of the first Adagio teas I've tried from a bundle of samples and it is the hands down winner in the black tea category! I left my office for a few minutes while it steeped and returned to have the entire room perfumed with the sweet and nutty smell of coconut. The first sip was unbelievable. This tea has a rich coconut flavor that perfectly complements the strength of the black tea though I can't put my finger on whether it tastes more like fresh or toasted coconut. With a dash of milk my brain kept telling me I was drinking a Mounds bar. (It didn't even need a chocolate note, the coconut is that delicious.) This tea will be in constant rotation at my house, expecially when I'm craving a (not-so) guilty pleasure. "

"I think this is my favorite Adagio tea so far. The coconut flavor is strong but not too strong. I can't wait to try this with cream and chocolate teas."

"I can see this one becoming addictive. First off the black tea used is so very rich and wonderful. The coconut becomes a bit of a second thought in a way. It isn't so strong that you think you are drinking solid coconut flavor which is very nice. I think this would be an awesome dessert tea paired with chocolate and would be fantastic iced!"

"Nice taste to it. Nice flavor but it is not sweet like I thought it would be. I used just a little more tea for slightly stronger flavor. I added just a dash of Sun Crystals, adds just a little sweetness to it. Also it is a GREAT add to other teas. I would get again!! "
