I thought I had tried this one before! I received a sample today and it was packaged differently than I remember. I went back and read my previous review and scored it quite low! (59) – As I am drinking this THIS time around it’s soooooo different! Not sure if I was logging the wrong tea before or had a bad or old batch…hum…
Anyhow…on to this review…
The dry blend scent is somewhere between a chocolate chai smell I have in recent memory AND a Chocolate Coconut Cinnamon Cookie of sorts. It has a sort of a plastic smell but that could very well be from the packaging.
The color is a deep red-brown. The aroma of the liquid is Cinnamon, Coconut, and almost a little bit of a cream scent.
The taste is sweet but also spicy…a natural cinnamon spice…not Fire Ball type cinnamon. I have a HONKIN’ HUGE Anise Star In there so I was a little afraid of the results but as I sip I am pleasantly surprised. This is pretty good. The sip starts as a contradicting sweet and spice but they are working ok with each other and morphs into a flatter taste towards the end of the sip – just before the swallow.
This isn’t bad at all and I am certainly changing my rating!

When this cools…it’s all about the coconut and it gets sweeter and sweeter VERY SWEET…so I am thinking from my previous review…my water wasn’t hot enough with my first attempt…but this attempt was nice!
I don’t ever add sugar but I think if you are used to adding sufar you still wouldn’t need to, no. :)

Sounds like a unique tasting tea. No need for adding sugar, I suppose?
