Tulsi Cacaonut

This is the other tea I received from this company to review/check out!

It’s a tulsi based tisane, with cacao and lots of really beautiful and fresh coconut. Like, I don’t know that I can say enough how incredibly fresh all of the ingredients used in these teas seem to be – but the coconut here in particular is the freshest, most tender looking coconut that I’ve seen used in a tea blend in ages…

Even though the coconut makes up the majority of the blend, I think the strongest flavour here is still the tulsi – that savory and soothing basil flavour just carries so well in a blend. It’s nice in contrast with very creamy, fresh coconut and the hints of cacao though. A simple, three ingredient mix but very dynamic and different flavours so it feels more nuanced/layered that it actually is in reality – so kudos for that cool effect. It’s thinner than the Peppermint Patty, and a light to medium bodied tea overall that does seem to benefit from longer steeps. Also the mouthfeel gets a tiny touch oily, but that’s only natural and to be expected when you’re using fresh coconut shreds like this.

I prefer the Peppermint Patty, but this is still very good!
