This is better than I expected, the coconut really come out in the brew.
Our velvety smooth pouchong lays the perfect foundation for the tropical flavor of coconut to shine.

This is better than I expected, the coconut really come out in the brew.
Loved this unique tea. The aroma of this tea was so inviting. The blend went well together,with the coconut coming through and lingering after enjoying the delicate green oolong flavor. Savored every last drop.
i liked it but if you have strong feelings about coconut la croix you might not be happy
I thoroughly enjoyed this tea this morning. I brewed it for three minutes at 195 and it was perfect. The coconut is predominant but balances nicely with the smooth mouth feel of the oolong. I didn't detect any astringency or bitterness. A delightful cup of tea. I just got the sample size but will be going back for more.
I enjoyed this pouchong~ very mellow, almost understated with very little astringency; my only wish is that the coconut flavor be a bit more pronounced
Coconut and oolong tea. It's like a match made in heaven!
This is very tasty. I love the fresh coconut flavor.
The coconut I loved it in this tea. I added
Cream to make it a bit more creamy
This one smelled so good! I took the time to enjoy the smell each time before brewing a cup. It tasted really nice too; the nutty flavour of coconut wasn't too much; it was a tad light for me, but regardless, I loved it and would order more!
This smells the best out of my entire order. It's so coconut-y. very beachy and amazing! The coconut flavor isn't as strong as the smell but it's definitely there. I love this tea.
I tried this for the first time today. I love the hint of coconut that persisted, even iced
This is a pleasantly green tea with a hint of coconut. It's not too grassy, but it's on the grassy side of green. I liked it despite not being a big fan of coconut! The coconut flavor is weak. The tea was a tad almost... bitter? when it cooled. I definitely preferred it hot. I'd drink this again.
The coconut does a lot to make this tea a delight, making for a mellow and gentle cup of tea with a sweet floral undertone.
I found this blend so delicious! I had to spend a few minutes just breathing in the scent from the sachet before I brewed it because the coconut was so bright and sweet right off the bat. Once brewed, I added a generous splash of brown sugar oatmilk creamer and the flavor was so amazingly like fresh baked macaroons, but the oolong base gave it a complex, malty undertone. If Ovaltine had a coconut flavor, this would be it. It very much lent itself to sweetening, and it was a delicious tea to finish off my day as a dessert.
I was surprised how well I enjoyed this tea considering I don't normally like coconut nor green teas. But it was neither 'in my face' coconut nor was it grassy. I steeped at 195 F x 3 min.
This tea certainly packs a wollop! My coconut-loving roommate says it's a five star blend so I'll defer to her as I don't enjoy the flavor.
I cut this packet open and the smell of coconut was strong! Hot tea was better than iced for this one but both were tasty.
At first the coconut seemed to be well balanced in the tea, but the more I drank out seemed to start overpowering the tea. I'm also not a huge fan of coconut so this may have been part of it. I prefer to keep coconut flavors on the milder side.
I normally love coconut, but this was a little overpowering. It was a decent tea though
I tried this one hot first, and did not like it. Cold-brewing leaved something to be desired, but it was much better like that than hot. I ultimately added two strawberries and some sweetener to my cold pitcher, and the additional fruit flavor made it worth drinking.
When I think tropical drink, coconut is usually in the mix but is more of a background player to a fruit of some type. In this tea, the coconut was allowed to shine. It blended beautifully with the pouchong and made for a mellow experience. A nice change from pineapple and mango forward tropical drinks.
(as part of the comunitea) i wasnt wowed by this flavor. it has a very strong coconut smell when you open it and while that is lovely there seems to be no taste for you tongue to land on they all feel muddled i also tried it with sugar and it was mildly better but not by much
Excellent flavor! Love the coconut, the nice light oolong tea is crisp and clean. I added a little honey and that gave it an extra note of sweetness that really rounded out the cup. Overall a lovely tea.
This one is a bit too green for my tastes. The coconut blends well with the pouchong, neither one shoving the other out, but both were noticeable. I’m fonder of black teas with coconut. I cold steeped for 6 hours.
I enjoy coconut in tropical blends and a select few other blends, but when the coconut flavor overpowers other flavors - or is the only flavor - in a tea, it's just not my jam. That said, I didn't hate this tea, which speaks in its favor. Most other coconut teas I've tried have ended up dumped down the sink after the first couple of sips. This one... was ok. Which for me, is pretty dang good for a coconut tea. Must be that pouchong balancing out the coconut flavor!
I preferred this cold over hot. I brewed it hot and then stuck it in the fridge to get ice cold. The coconut was pronounced when cold and so refreshing.
I like this tea alot. It's very good hot and iced. I.dont think it's my favorite coconut type blend but I'm happy to have a big sample of it unopened to drink. I like the green oolong I don't believe I've had a green one before which is really neat.
I expected to go coconuts over this tea but, sadly, that wasnt the case. -_- The aroma is positively GORGEOUS; a perfumy coconut that just smells like summer.
Because of the strong scent, it would be reasonable to assume that the tea would have a nice strong coconut flavor also. However, I was wrong. Unsweetened, all I could taste was the pouchong (which is fine by me because I LOVE oolong) with coconut in the far back. I decided to add a little sugar and it did bring out a few warm notes of coconut. I wanted this to be face-smackingly coconut, and therefore I was disappointed.
This is a lovely tea. Not a tea I would drink on a regular basis or if I had a hankering for coconut, but definitely one I would keep in my oolong collection for when the mood strikes me.
CommuniTEA Sample: This is a great oolong if you like coconut at all. A great tea that brings some coconut flavor to a nice lower oxidized oolong. It’s very good hot and really refreshing iced as well. An excellent summer tea.
This tea was very fragrant with the smell of coconut. When I first sampled this tea, I found the taste of coconut to be more subtle than I preferred. The second time I encountered this tea in the Communitea box, I must of had more coconut, because I found the tea much more flavorful.
Great tea!
I didn’t get lot of coconut, I wish I had more. (212 4min) I try it hot, going try it cold.☕️🫖
A coconut flavored oolong with a grassy flavor that is good either hot or cold.
Tried from a CommuniTea packet. I found this tea to have a nice creamy coconut flavor. It was a very green oolong and that lent this tea a vegetable taste. The coconut was present but not overwhelming.
Coconut is one of my favorite foods. I loved this tea from the 1st sniff to the last sip!!
Whole I enjoyed the natural coconut flavors, I could not get past the green tea notes. I'm not a huge fan of greens, but I'm always willing to try. I think this would be something the husband would enjoy.
Very smooth, very flavorful, and VERY coconutty! It's somehow like I'm sipping coconut oil on top of a light, floral green tea base. I think iced this would be a great summer tea, and hot would be nice on a cold night.
Wow wow wow. Smells and tastes divine! Reminiscent of milk oolong with some coconut flavor.
I'm totally here for the coconut - I loved how prominent it was, and I want more coconut in tea!.
I'm not an oolong fan, so take this with a grain of salt, but it felt way too strong to me, even with a bunch of sugar added.

A consistent favorite of mine! Just enough coconut to know that it’s there on every sip, but definitely sticks to its oolong roots.
Is it a green tea or an oolong…neither. It’s somewhere in between and that it where it should stay. I did not taste the grassy, vegetable taste that you get with some green teas.
When I open the packet of tea I smell coconut and a slightly floral scent. Just a touch of mineral smells are hiding in the background. The tea brews into a beautiful golden green color. And the taste…wow! Coconut with a slightly earthy and floral background. The flavors are balanced so well. There is a creamy deliciousness coating my tongue that beckons me to drink more. Slight astringency from the pouchong that is expected, but is tamed with a touch of honey. No bitterness noted. I also tried this iced which was good, but preferred it warm. The iced version lost some of its creamy mouthfeel and some of the floral scents. Definitely worth trying this tea. I didn’t think I would like it, but now I have to order some. Don’t let the price fool you. Was able to get 3 delicious steeps from this tea. 1st and 2nd steep were 12 oz at 195º for 3 mins and 3rd steep was 8 oz for 4 mins. Enjoy!
Today's packet smelled of coconut and somewhat earthy oolong leaves. Steeping for 4 mins at 195°F produced a cloudy yellow green tea.
Sweet coconut and crisp fresh greens are first to come forward in the sip. Silky smooth coconut oils and blue cornflowers provide a nice smooth mouthfeel while the oolong tea adds body and a mild astringency to the finish. Flavors of perfectly crisp green Stir Fry veggies in coconut oil are presented throughout the sip. The coconut is a naturally silky smooth tropical flavor, and the green tea is mellow enough to let it shine in the blend. The pouchong is so lightly oxidized and crisp that it's reminiscent of an excellent dragonwell green tea. The difference between this Coconut Grove version and the classic Coconut Pouchong is really subtle, if even detectable at all. It seems like the blue cornflowers are mostly providing something extra to the body of this tea, with a very neutral astringency boost. This one seems to have slightly a bit more of an edge to it than the regular Coconut Pouchong. Other than that, it's still very similar to the excellent Coconut Pouchong that I've grown to love!
Really enjoyed this one! Just the right amount of coconut.
I really like the flavor of this tea. I think it would be wonderful with Lamb Korma, or a Thai dish.
This is a very enjoyable mild green tea. It smells so delicious with the coconut.
Very nice coconut taste and the oolong adds depth and astringency. (8 mins @ 190°F)
I love coconut, and this smelled so coco-nutty! But it didn’t have that much coconut flavor, and the pouching tastes quite green. This is my second time trying this tea since it was in in the oolong sampler. I can say that I like it better the second time. Maybe it will grow on me. Last time I tried adding honey, which was a mistake since the flavor overpowered the coconut even more. This time I added rock sugar, which brought it out slightly. Steeped at 195 for 4 minutes.
If you love coconut then this is the tea for you. It has a smooth island flavor to it that is probably good hot or iced. I say probably because I’m not a fan of coconut. My husband is and he loved it after I steeped it hot for 3 minutes. I then let a little sit in the fridge for an iced drink later.
Love this tea so much. I've had a 3 oz. bag for months now, but I've been drinking it too slowly, wanting to eke as many cups out of it as I can.
This was a very smooth well balanced tea. I enjoy coconut and this was just a nice creamy cup of tea this morning. I drank it hot , but I am sure this would be wonderful iced as well. Brewed 4 mins at 190.
