Cameron B. drank Sour Coconut (Syrlig Kokos) by Nabo

4161 tasting notes

Nabo Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 7

This has the most unappealing name to me, ha ha… It makes me think of rancid coconut. XD

Honestly, I’m not getting much coconut at all. It mostly tastes like tart apple and lemon. In fact, I’m not sure I would know there was coconut at all if it wasn’t in the name. It’s quite tart, not sure how white hibiscus tastes compared to red, or if it’s contributing much sourness here.

It’s fine but not something I would buy, not being a big fan of tart fruit tisanes.

Flavors: Apple, Candy, Citrus, Hibiscus, Lemon, Sour, Tart

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 5 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Ugh I agree on the name. I hate sourness in tea , and coconut in tea, so none of that works for me name-wise due to that either

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs, Gobo and Ume. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

- November sipdowns: 13

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia.

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
