I am really grateful I was able to share some of this tea with Courtney since while I enjoy it, I don’t reach for it often. I think part of the reason for that is that it doesn’t have a clear flavor profile. Everytime I have it, I need to look up what Copenhagen blends encompasses vs. a tea like Banana Pudding Black Tea or Salted Caramel Oolong. So if there is a particular flavor I want, this is not what comes to mind because the name doesn’t give me much insight into the blend. I guess that’s the power of a name.
This is one of my older teas now and thus it is something I am focusing on. Today I decided to make it iced and it is not my favorite way to have this tea. I am getting a creaminess from the coconut that is nice but that is largely overshadowed by a flat black base and strained fruit notes. There is punches of this astringent citrus and then some mango trying to push past the black base, but its being smothered. I don’t know if this is just the iced prep method or if my first time having this tea was fueled by excitement but either way I am dropping the rating from 80.
