Sipdown! (30 | 246)
Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge (September) – “A coconut tea”
I actually have very few coconut teas in my cupboard, because 1) I enjoy coconut situationally but I’m not in love with it, and 2) coconut tends to dramatically shorten the lifespan of tea, and since I don’t love it, it’s unlikely that I’ll finish the tea before it goes rancid. But happily, I got this sample in my swap, just in time for this monthly prompt! ❤
I admit, I was a bit nervous about this tea, because it has coconut AND lavender, neither of which are favorites of mine. But it’s actually quite nice. The main flavor is a light, creamy coconut with a touch of pineapple. It’s not overwhelmingly creamy, more light and airy, like a coconut marshmallow. The lavender is subtle, which I appreciate, and adds a nice citrusy floral note at the end of the sip. I don’t think my sachet had any butterfly pea flowers in it, as my cup is a warm brown color.
Anyway, pleasantly surprised. I’m not sure whether I would order it or not, just because I don’t crave coconut, but I would definitely sip it again!
