I really don’t understand…
I get a strong coconut flavor from this. I do taste pepper, and milk chocolate, and maybe a hint of pineapple at the end of the sip. But the strongest note is coconut.
I feel like I’m crazy, because not a single tasting note mentions coconut at all. But I can’t imagine how this would’ve gotten contaminated, it’s in a sealed sample pouch in a drawer with other sealed sample pouches…
Clearly I am losing my mind. And clearly this tea is not for me!

Association from the roasted pineapple?
It’s possible, but I would think if that were the case I would’ve tasted more pineapple…
How strange! I get a pretty strong candied pineapple note from this. I wonder if there is coconut in the flavoring.
I doubt it, it seems like no one tasted coconut but me! :P
Sometimes with chocolate flavoring I taste and smell coconut. I’m not crazy. You, though, I can’t speak for you :)
Thanks derk, that could be it! I’ll likely order a second sample of this in the future to give it another chance.
For me, I taste it in vanilla flavorings often!
Another possibility is that there is coconut in the blend, in the flavouring – since AU doesn’t specify what their flavouring is, it’s entirely possible the a natural or artificial coconut flavouring is being used.
It is possible, I would just expect someone else besides me would taste it were that the case! :P
I am blind – I just saw that amandastory516 pointed this same possibility out. My bad! Anyway, just because no one else tasted it doesn’t mean it’s not possible. You just might have the most perceptive tastebuds of us all ;)
