Even as the temperature drops, you'll have a tropical getaway with every cup of our exquisite Coconut Pouchong. This delicate and light oolong tea from Taiwan is combined with the flavor of fresh coconut to produce a very sweet flavor that'll be sure to bring you back to the beach!

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.

"Kind of expensive (especially since it only makes one solid infusion), but it is a delightful treat. The coconut flavor is distinct without being overbearing. I like it a lot. Just wish it was more affordable."

"The coconut flavor is light but there is a bit of an off flavor to this tea which makes me think I will not order it again. Almost a chlorine like quality."

"I will not be buying this one again. I never could taste the coconut and it seemed to have a burnt taste/smell. Even my spose who loves coconut did not like it very well. "

"Wow! I love this tea! I tried a pouchong once before and wasn't fond of it. But, since I like coconut, I thought I'd go ahead and give this one a try. Am I glad I did! The coconut is not a too-sweet taste - the flavor of the pouchong actually makes it taste more like the real thing...right out of the shell."

"The smell is amazing, and there's just enough coconut flavor to not be cloying like others. Joins hojicha on my must have green teas!"

"Tastes like sweet, fresh, young coconut. Great for cold winter days when you're dreaming of somewhere tropical. One of my favorite Adagio teas."
