I love coconut and I love chai—my search for the perfect combo still continues (and will most likely end with the Yogic coconut chai, which everyone tells me is godly and I FINALLY have a sample of!). Zhena’s is nice but tastes more like coconut water than fresh coconut, so I was excited to try a toasty version.
There is a LOT of coconut in this blend, but it doesn’t really smell anything like coconut, just a strong chai blend. Unfortunately, it kind of tastes the same. The chai aspect is really nice, with bold spices and a strong black base. The coconut is a bit lost, adding a hint of fruitiness but not that big bold coconut taste I was hoping for. I found the coconut a bit weak on their Jasmine Coconut as well (though I did prefer that blend).
So it’s a nice tea and I did enjoy it (definitely look care of my chai craving) but it just didn’t deliver on the coconut front. Maybe I’ll try steeping it for a bit longer, I have enough left to play around with!

Have you tried the Gypsy’s Coconut Chai? It’s pretty decent too. http://www.gypsytea.com/Coconut-Chai-P43.aspx I think I have a couple left if you want to try before you buy. :)
If you order more samples, I’ll throw in some of my new coconut chai for free. It’s the most coconutty perfection on the planet. :)
Or you could wait for Barb’s review on the new coconut chai – It’s going in the mail to her on Monday :)
@KeenTeaThyme: I haven’t tried Gypsy’s Coconut Chai, it’s one of the many kinds I plan to order! I would LOVE a sample if you have any to spare! My coconut addiction is getting out of hand haha.
@Whispering Pines: Thanks so much for the offer! I was actually planning on ordering more samples next week, since you have so many kinds I am dying to try.
Sounds fantastic! :)
