Oh coconut. What happened to us, we used to be such great friends. There was a time where I loved you to bits(coconut bits!) and I looked forward to trying any tea blend you were in. and now? You’ve become cloying and overwhelming and sometimes far too sweet for my tastes. This makes me sad. I miss the days when we’d sit together, you in a nice big mug, me on the couch or at the table. Sadly, those days are no longer. So… Either coconut has entirely changed it’s profile entirely in the last few years, or my palate has done a 180. (yes I am playing naive. It must be possible that nobody else has noticed the coconut profile change bahahaha)
Anyhow, other than coconut I did get a slight marzipan note and it did balance things out a tad, and it was more sugary than I’d have liked, which is odd for me in a tea that I haven’t added anything to.
Overall, the tea was super light and I wish I’d used less water. Not that it matters given my tirade above. So… I won’t rate this because I don’t think it’d be fair. But… If someone asked me to rate it just for fun, I’d likely say 70.
Thanks Kittenna for this sample!
Agh! I have a bunch of other reviews to write, but I’m realizing now that none of them are worth my 1000th note. I want to save it for something incredible. AND I won’t be home all day tomorrow. Bah!!

LOL Sil, I’m on board with that now!!!
it’s about time! sheesh!
my 1000th note, or the coconut hating :P
lol i missed my 1000th note. haha so i’m jsut going to randomly celebrate some odd tasting note sometime
Ah well it’s good to save it up! Make it something extra special :P
Ah, coconut and men,hard to find one that’s a keeper.(ok guys sue me!Have you ever tried to pick a good coconut from a bunch?)
hahaha Bonnie you are so right ;)
(all in good fun guys!)

I found this tea to be way heavier on amaretto on coconut. And I’m just not a big amaretto fan :(
odd, I wonder if it was just not distributed properly
Or I’m more sensitive to amaretto and you to coconut :) Either way, not a fave. I prefer the “dry nut” flavour over amaretto, which is what I was initially hoping for, here.
true, or something more like marzipan. I wouldn’t have minded that!
Amaretto/marzipan are equivalent in my mind, heh, not a fan of either :)
I know what you mean. They’re similar, but different enough in my head that I regard them separately. Amaretto has a deeper sweetness with a touch of bitter that barely registers, and for me, marzipan is more of a sugary/dessert with less depth
Yep, that makes sense; I just equate similar things when I don’t particularly care for them. :D
haha I get that! like me and cantaloupe teas :s
