sample sipdown because i can heh. So yes, i picked this one out myself, and yes, it has coconut. But i was really hoping for a more pineapple like creation when i picked it. I pretty much figured that at the very least it would give me a chance to see how Tea G. does rooibos. Now, after drinking this one? I can say with confidence that they do rooibos relatively well – it doesn’t have that woodsy sort of taste that the rooibos i don’t like has. But this particular blend? Too much coconut and not enough pineapple. However, what i DID like about this was that it’s clearly a creamy coconut rather than straight up coconut. And my mug didn’t have an oil slick on the top of the brew, which in my books, makes this a pretty decent cup, even if it IS mostly coconut :)

You’re not really a fan of coconut? I can’t recall.

blech. Coconut isn’t as bad as Blergamot…

I like coconut that’s done well, but that coconut that’s sort of rancid smelling and has that oily gross film on it…blech. Mostly it’s just that so many flavours of coconut are not nice at all…

Fjellrev

Hmm, I was gonna send you some of Bayswater’s Creamy Coconut, which to me, tastes like a macaroon. It’s your call if you want to take the chance.

At least I knew about the BLARGHAMOT.

Fjellrev

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
