Finally! I get to review Coconut Grove Pouchong. I had it the day before. I've received two samples twice. It is a hit with my youngest who loves fruity teas. I like this better than the coconut flavored black tea.
Our velvety smooth pouchong lays the perfect foundation for the tropical flavor of coconut to shine.

I usually like coconut and oolong tea, but I'm not liking this combination very much. It's kind of savory and buttery, plus coconut flavor that tastes...fake? Maybe just out of place. I know I like Adagio's coconut flavor in other teas, but it just isn't for me in this blend!
The coconut in this is subtle but distinct. It's nice, but it's not the best summer tea I've had from Adagio.
Drinking along with the CommuniTEA today: Mainly coconut fragrance coming from the dry ingredients and packet. Once steeped for 3 minutes at 190° F, I notice a grassiness followed by creamy coconut scents on the nose of my cup. When I take a sip, I notice mainly creamy coconut flavors with a hint of herbal grassiness and finishes with pronounced coconut nuttiness.
Smooth, crisp coconut flavor with an earthy undertone. The coconut is neither subtle nor overpowering. A splash of milk would be a perfect addition.
Heavenly coconut flavor, like a sweet coconut macaroon or cake.
Nice blend with a good amount of coconut 🥥. Not too overpowering.
I’m not usually a bit coconut fan but this blend was delicious. The minerality of the oolong combined with the sweet coconut notes was a real treat!
Enjoyed this tea iced for June CommuniTEA. The oolong pairs nicely with the coconut. My packet had a nice piece of fresh coconut and the flavor was noted in the brew. Oolong is not a tea I usually ice, but this was delicious! Happy sipping!
I love this tropical twist on an oolong. The smell of the packet is inviting. Strains of ukele music come unbidden to my ears. The stage is set for an island dream! The oolong base is nice and creamy and the coconut flavor complements it well. There isn't enough coconut to overpower the cup in my opinion. It's just right. Drink this and float off to your favorite island getaway. Happy Sipping or Hau'Oli Maoli Oe (Happiness Toward You).
Below is an update of my 12 Jun 20 review to correct an incomplete beginning sentence …
The only difference from this and the Coconut Pouchong is the addition of cornflowers. Looked and smelled great in the bag. Otherwise, results are the same. The cornflower addition is pretty, but I couldn’t detect any different flavors from it. A longer steep was done at a higher temperature to bring out the coconut flavor and aroma. A really nice creamy and buttery mouthfeel was supplied by the coconut and pouchong. A bit of sugar was added to smooth out any astringency from the pouchong. This was a very pleasant green oolong-like sipper. (4 mins @ 212F, 1/4 tsp sugar)
200 degrees for 5 minutes. Mellow creamy coconut vibes greeted me upon first sip of this tea along with a smooth base from the pouchong. Very little astringency. A calm meditative brew that I really enjoyed.
Yum! Coconut Grove Pouchong is Great over ice. Smells amazing!!
Oh my goodness this tea is so yuuummm!!! It might be my favorite for this month (June 2021). It taste like drinking the coconut 🥥 milk from a fresh coconut!!
If you like coconut and tropical flavored teas you'll enjoy this. I do not and I did not.
I thought this sounded amazing, in theory (because I love anything coconut) - but the light bitterness of the tea doesn't really go well with the coconut, in my opinion. It's a little underwhelming, but not bad.
I was a little leary, I've never had a coconut tea, BUT it was really good!!! The coconut is just right, not too overpowering. I made it iced...delicious!
Update- a year later and this is still a favorite. 🥥🍹🏝
Not for me. It had a slight taste of fake coconut which I don’t like.
I loved the pouchong tea in itself. I felt that the sweetness from the coconut could ve been more apparent, it wasn t. Wouldn t drink this cold (cold oolong is just blasphemy), but hot, it was nice. A lot softer than I expected
This is my new favorite oolong. The coconut flavor is prominent without being overpowering.
My daughter who loves coconut really likes this tea. The Coconut scent and flavor is strong.
What a wonderful oolong! It's silky smooth with delicate oolong flavor. The coconut comes through as a delicate aroma and smooth tropical taste. The tea and coconut are a perfect match.
Heavenly coconut smell. Really refreshing tea. Love drinking this through the day.
I didn't like the after taste of this one. My husband enjoyed it.
Exactly what I was hoping for! A light, well balanced, naturally flavored coconut tea, lovely!
Very nice, the coconut really stands out and there is no bitterness.
Not for me. Cloyingly coconut. Overpowered the oolong.
The coconut flavor is comforting and refreshing all at once; it works well as both a hot tea and a cold tea.
This is a luscious blend of tropical flavors and transports me to Summer year round.
I was quite disappointed upon discovering that Adagio stopped carrying their Coconut Pouchong but decided to give Coconut Grove a try. It is quite similar to the older version and am not quite sure what the difference is besides the blue corn flowers. It may have a slightly more pronounced coconut flavor but it still isn t overly strong. At any rate, I am glad it differs very little with the original and would purchase again.
A summertime tea, even hot! It’s like a taste of the tropics.
Tropical and Refreshing!!! This tea taste like you’re on a island somewhere, one of my favorites!!!
wanted to love this tea more than I did, the ganyu blend using it is amazing however
Great coconut flavor. Similar to other coconut tea they have but I like this one better.
Oh my. I've never had pouchong tea before, so I can't speak to how it's flavor is here, but this is a WONDERFUL cup of coconut flavored tea, almost with a buttery mouthfeel. Reminded me a bit of pu-erh without the strong earthiness. If you love coconut I definitely recommend this tea!
All you need is some sun and a salty ocean breeze. This tea almost takes you there. Beautiful, coconut is just perfect. Great summer tea.
This is a fantastic coconut tea, my favorite that I have tried. It's full of real coconut pieces so the flavor is fresh, rich, and creamy without being overly sweet. It blends perfectly with the buttery pouchong base. I steep it at around 190°F for 4 minutes and it's very smooth with no bitterness. I've also tried it cold brewed overnight and it is amazing that way as well.
This is a delicate tea where the floral and coconut notes blend wonderfully. In flavor, the pouchong is like a green tea but without any finishing bitter. It has a really satisfying juicy quality overall when sweetened with some honey. I love this one!
WOW!! If you love coconut, then this is the tea for you. I love it. My wife only likes tea, but she loves this one.
Overall an enjoyable tea, though I find the coconut flavor to be a bit overwhelming.
An absolutely delicious tea, I highly recommend it.
I love the strong coconut flavor, this is going to be a great tea for the spring and summer.
I did not expect to love this, but the balance of flavors was so lovely. The coconut wasn’t overpowering, it was smooth. I will buy this tea again. I really like it!
Very nice coconut-infused tea. Tip: let this tea cool down halfway to get a better flavor after steeping.
This is a subtle and smooth tea. Hints of coconut and creamy. I have never had pouchong tea before this, I definitely would try more. I think this tea has a lot of potential to experiment with other blends.
I normally don't like fruity teas, but I love oolong so I decided to try this one. The coconut flavor is pretty strong but not overpowering. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this tea!
Delicious tropical flavors in this tea. The coconut is strong, but not overbearing. I love that I can get multiple steeps out of this tea. I drink this with a little bit of sugar to bring out the coconut flavor, but is also great without.
delicious tea if you like coconut flavor! great in the afternoon
I did not like this tea. I love coconut- but this tea was just too bitter for me. I drank one cup- and then tossed the rest of the leaves. Perhaps it is an acquired taste?
I love the smell of this tea and it has a light, coconut flavor that is perfect.
