I generally like coconut, so I also like this tea. Though it's maybe not as strong as I would prefer.
Creamy texture of fresh coconut flavor with the balanced brightness of Ceylon. Perfectly sweet and very well-blended.

I love Mounds bars, I loved the Capricorn blend, and I enjoyed this well enough when I snuck 1/8 tsp of it into a homemade blend attempt. So I went in expecting to find this by itself to be decent at least, but it's the first tea I've tried that I immediately wished I could stop drinking without feeling wasteful. It almost tastes...chemical? Bitter? I only steeped it 3 minutes so it's not that. Could be the base tea or the flavoring, I'm not sure, it just doesn't agree with me at all. But I won't be ordering more of this and I think I'll give someone else the rest of my sample.
UPDATE: I saw some comments about cutting the steep time on this even shorter, so I (somewhat reluctantly) have tried again. That does help somewhat, but I'm still not sure I understand why this particular tea would get so bad so quickly when the other flavored and unflavored black teas I've had, even with coconut, have been fine at the normal steep.
A rich brew that pairs well with dessert. The coconut is very mild. This is a tea to keep on hand when you need a punch of caffeine as a stand alone treat, or as the perfect accompaniment to a sweet treat.
Since I love coconut this tea is always one of my must-haves. The coconut is noticeable but not overpowering.
This is a great black tea with just a hint of coconut, I have even mixed it with Assam melody. Still great but I would like more coconut.
A very nice cup of tea. The coconut is just subtle enough.
I mix with Chocolate Truffle tea and it’s like a Mounds candy bar, great tea!
A very nice black tea to go with desserts. The coconut scent is strong, which is good, but may clash with savory snacks. Great with a plate of cookies or dried fruit.
Second favorite tea, creamy coconut blends well with the black tea and a splash of almond milk. Have purchased multiple times.
If you have a sweet tooth like me you will appreciate this blend. It has the taste of a coconut cookie in one sip and an almond joy in another.
The smell is amazing! However it is a very typical black tea, the coconut does not affect the taste very much.
I wasn’t sure how well balanced this blend might be, but I was in for a delightful surprise! It’s very smooth, and the coconut flavor is strong and delicious without being overpowering at all. I don’t go out of my way to have coconut-flavored things in general, but I’d go out of my way to drink this tea many times.
I love the coconut flavor in this tea. It's not too overpowering and it smells delicious. Definitely buying again
Tastes great! A little homemade whipped cream stirred in made it a treat. I only gave 4 stars because I could use even more coconut flavor.
Lovely flavor! Has an awesome creamy coconut taste with out and icky fake aftertaste
This flavor is most enjoyable any time of day the smell, the taste, the flavor hits the spot
I actually really loved this one! The coconut scent and taste is definitely there but not overwhelming. I added some chocolate chips to my hot cup!
I love the combination of black tea and coconut. This is a refreshing cup of tea which I prefer iced.
Normally, I avoid high caffeine teas but this is an exception! This tea is so smooth and creamy, that I drink it without any sweetener. The coconut aroma is very present and as others have said, I do think of Mounds bar or a tropical beach. I want to try it iced as well.
Always come back to this black coconut tea when in the mood for a desert tasting tea. This tea goes well with honey and a pastry. The tea steeps fast and strong so keeping an eye on the time keeps it from getting bitter. Coconut slivers are good to pick out of the leaves after.
To update my review: I still like drinking this tea. It does not have the same coconut flavor as Coconut Grove Pouchong because it is black tea and not Oolong. The flavor of coconut in this black tea tastes good to me, enough that I am willing to repurchase again. I am always repurchasing this tea!
I mixed this with unflavored black tea and it was very good. The coconut flavor tastes very natural (not chemically).
For the past three Summers, Adagio Coconut has been my favorite tea for making sun tea. Each morning I fill a glass jar with cold filtered water, add a few springs of fresh chocolate mint from my garden, and 3 tablespoons Coconut Tea Leaves in an Adagio paper tea filter, set the jar outdoor in the sun to steep until late afternoon. It s perfect every time. I serve it with a dash of Maple Syrup and ice. What could possibly be more refreshing?! I would like to add that recently we hosted a good friend for a 'social distanced outdoor lunch on our patio' and I offered a glass of Coconut Sun Tea with ice----he drank a whole quart of it! So it's a hit with friends as well.
This tea is so yummy! I was looking for something different and found it.
If you like Coconut, this tea is for you. Blends nicely with the Blood Orange herbal. Also brew it straight and add a bit of cream and sugar.
This tea has an amazing coconut flavor and aroma too. I enjoy drinking it just as it is in the morning.
Ok blend but I think the added coconut flavor is throwing me off. It does have nice big pieces of actual coconut though. Nice black tea
This is my current favorite flavor. It has a nice coconut flavor and after-taste. It is delicious!
This is a good, creamy coconut tea. The flavor stays natural tasting as long as you don't drink it too hot, and it is creamy and pleasant. I like this tea best mixed with others, but it is pretty decent on its own as well, just not my favorite of Adagio's many flavors.
Both the Coconut Tea and the Thai Tea are terrific with a tablespoon of coconut milk instead of cream!
Very light coconut flavourful which us really nice this is a great tea
amazing taste of coconut mixed with the high quality i expect from Adagio. i will be ordering more soon
Nice coconut and black tea taste. Kinda reminds me of a Mounds bar with a touch of black tea. Nice and summery.
Full flavored, lovely scent, makes everything nice and creamy. I like mixing my own blends, and this is one of my staples. I've found it works very well with any of my chai, and it's lovely with Earl grey and a little lavender.
Didn't care for it very much, tasted a little bit like soap. (Cold brewed for 10 hours)
This might be my favorite winter tea. I add a little agave on days I need a little extra sweetness, but the tea doesn’t really need it. It’s so good on it’s own
Loved this as an iced tea! With a little stevia it was so refreshing!
Today's CommuniTea packet is coconut tea with black tea, coconut flavor and coconut. It smells strongly of coconut when you open the packet and I had visible coconut pieces. The coconut recedes a little when brewed. I didn't dislike drinking this, but I don't know that it's something I'd rush out to buy on its own either. If you're a coconut fan, you may adore it. Brewed in 12 ounces of 195-degree water for about two and a half minutes.
A tasty coconut flavored tea with chucks of coconut. It can be enjoyed either hot or cold. It is very refreshing cold.
Refreshing and creamy! No need for sweetener. A little bitterness, needed to brew at 195 to curb it.
Love the coconut! Paired with Ceylon tea it was fantastic. Recommend heating to 190 to keep the nitterness in the Ceylon out.
This tea is like a tropical vacation in a cup. The coconut tastes so good and the black tea provides a nice kick of caffeine. It’s also a great base for blends. Overall, a fantastic tea! I recommend cold brewing.
please keep in mind with my review that i am not a fan of coconut. i tolerate it when its mixed with other ingredients in tea, but this was too much for me. even milk and honey did little to help this tea for me, but if you enjoy coconut, you might love this tea
If you like coconut, then this is your drink. It is completely, utterly coconut with the nice bite of black tea to accompany it. It isn't for me, unfortunately.
I love this flavored black tea...especially with bits-pieces of coconut mixed in the tea. Great iced and hot, but I prefer it iced. Great with blending in Fandom blends.
CommuniTEA 6/26/22: I don't always like coconut in tea as it tends to go rancid very fast, but I really enjoyed this tea!
3 minutes, 210°F, 1 tsp truvia, big mug
The tea definitely hits everything I expected: black tea with a creamy coconut. The flavor with a little milk reminded me of coconut cream pie!
Updated 6/26/2022: another CommuniTEA sample, this time cold-steeped overnight. Delicious! And naturally sweet without any sugar added.
2021 Review: Sampled in the CommuniTEA. Nice black tea with a smooth, coconut flavor. I steep Ceylon teas at 190°F x 2 minutes (3 for second steep), to avoid astringency. The coconut flavor is very natural tasting and is even better with a little sweetener. It also makes a good blending tea as a base. I tried it with chai and with chocolate, but think almond or fruity flavors would also be good. I only enjoyed it hot, but it would be good iced. Very versatile tea, if you like coconut.
CommuniTEA portion: Cold Brewed overnight. I eat really looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint. Awesome and smooth and coconut-y. Summer loveliness!
This is a really lovely coconut black tea. The flavor isn’t cloying or artificial, it blends with other teas without drowning everything in coconut, it’s great hot or iced and with or without milk.
I use coconut tea to blend with other black teas to bring a sweetness and depth of flavor.
