Coco-Lemon Thai

Just got this in the mail from a tea friend. I wanted to try it cause it had lemon, although I wasn’t too sure about the coconut being in it. I’m having my first cup right now and to my surprise, it’s not bad. I don’t taste too much of the coconut, it’s more lemony and a bit creamy as well. There’s something that tastes familiar to me, I think it’s the lemongrass. Overall I like this tea. First lemon one I actually like.

I am drinking this iced as an afternoon treat and I loove it!! I prefer it iced, althought it is also great hot. It is a perfect summer tea, exotic and refreshing. I love the hint of ginger too. Too bad it is discontinued

It makes me so sad that they discontinued this tea. I love the coconut and lemon with the soft white tea base. I hope they bring it back or at least something close. I guess the new blend of coconut oolong is pretty close…

Ever since I read that this is being discontinued, I’ve been meaning to give it a go. It also seemed to be the perfect thing after having Thai food for lunch. The only thing I was worried about was the coconut—not a favourite of mine. Well I need not have worried. The coconut notes in this are fresh and creamy and go fantastically with the lemon. This reminds me of having a cross between lemon meringue and coconut cream pie. Interested to see if this is good iced as well, as if so I may attempt to stock up before I lose my chance.

It’s like an holiday in Thailand, you cant taste everything from that place in this beautiful, light and refreshing tea. Perfect as afternoon tea.

This blend smells like a Thai coconut curry, and reminds me of a similar blend by Harney & Sons, the name of which escapes me at the moment. After steeping, a sweeter lemon note can be detected in the aroma as well. The taste of this tea is bright and light, with strong lemongrass and coconut flavors. There’s also a bite from the ginger pieces that I saw in the blend, giving it a gently spicy, warming effect. The white tea base is hard to detect under all this, but it does have a naturally sweet and tart quality. Overall, this tea does a good job on delivering on its name. I don’t often reach for teas with ginger or lemongrass, but once in a while I’m nicely surprised! Thanks beelicious for the sample!

(And finally, I have more teas that I have tried at least once in my cupboard than untried ones!)

This is an excellent tea as an alternative chai if you’ve gotten a bit burnt out on too much ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. This is a coconut lemon dream. No sugar, but still plenty sweet and flavorful. The lemon is delicate and natural, not like the cleaning-supply lemon that can happen if too much artificial flavoring is added. This is truly a reflection of the lemon myrtle and lemongrass. The lemongrass adds a more vanilla/lemon flavor, couple that with the buttery coconut and cream flavoring and this is like a lemon dessert. There’s just enough ginger to balance out the sweet with a little spice. A hidden gem on the white tea shelf at Davids Teas.

Yummy.

I really enjoy this tea — the lemon and coconut come through well (especially the coconut), but I was sort of hoping it would have a bit more of a spicy kick to it. Never mind though, I’d still buy it again. Can’t wait to try it iced.

Another one I have to try again soon, but from my memory… this smelled like pie and tasted delicious. Coconut, lemon and a hint of ginger. Much more to my taste than Cocomint Cream (a lighter, less creamy tea, I think), and if it wasn’t so expensive, again it probably would have found a home on my tea shelf. As it stands for now, I’ll just have to get it in samples or use some frequent steeper points to get it.
