Arby drank Chocolate Coconut Indulgence by Twinings

2986 tasting notes

I enjoyed this tea more than I anticipated. Most coconut teas are overwhelmingly coconut and not much else. Some are soapy, most go off very quickly, some leave an oily residue. They can be tricky.

This tea manages to balance the coconut with the cocoa and hides the green base nicely. The coconut is very toasty and creamy (think coconut cream pie), buttery, thick, sweet. It reminded me a bit of milk oolong. The cocoa wasn’t as strong as it could have been, but I was happy with the creamy toasted coconut. It was very rich and satisfied the dessert/rich aspect I was looking for.

Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa, Coconut, Cream, Creamy, Sweet, Thick, Toasted

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
