I guess it was a Whittard day because I also drank this one today along with two other Whittard blends. I didn’t love this one though. It was very oily and fatty in mouthfeel from all the coconut shreds in the blend, and even though I intellectually know this is just a result of using real coconut that doesn’t mean it makes the experience much better for me. The coconut flavour itself was very mid to me, but I did like the cream flavouring that was paired with it a lot. Between that and the slightly nuttier taste of the oolong base I kept thinking a lot of coconut cream pie.
In the end I left what was probably the last half of my mug sitting at my desk for most of the day, only coming back to it as I was wrapping up my work. At that point it was very cold and a lot of the coconut fat had solidified around the walls of the mug. That was gross, but I actually liked the taste of the tea much better when it was cold. Maybe iced latte would be a good brew method for this tea next time…
