Wanted a coconut tea and this one sounded interesting with malty flavors. I need to play around with the steeping times because this turned out malty, but on the side of bitter. The coconut flavor is light, but present. It seems like MF and Damman Freres err on the light side of added flavors, making the taste delicate. It makes it take a few sips for my expectations and senses to adjust. The light coconut flavor balances well with the maltiness. The finish is a nice continuation of the flavors. I don’t know if I’m getting used to the bitter bit I was tasting earlier or if it’s faded with the tea cooling, but it’s mellowed out now. This tea makes me think of a hearty breakfast tea, but with coconut. I’m looking forward to drinking more of this.
