White Coconut Crème

YUM!! First experienced this at a ladies formal tea and everyone was cat fighting over this flavor. Its delicious. I love their Jasmine tea too.

Ive never had white tea before, and I've never had coconut tea before. So this was an all around new experience. And I really enjoyed it. The tea in the canister smells delicious! It's probably a waste, but I put some of it into a little cup and out into one of the back cup holders in my car so hopefully my car will smell delicious as well. Right now it smells like a hint of sweaty socks. Anyway. I made a cup as soon as this was delivered. The canister thing it comes in probably does a really good job at keeping it fresh. It was hard to open and seals close pretty tight. I'm guessing that's a good thing. The directions say to add a tablespoon to hot water and let it sit for 1-3 min. I let it sit for 3 min and wasn't happy with the taste so I went 2 more minutes and then it was perfect. I then noticed the canister also said that loose leaf tea can be steeped more than once, so I poured more water into the tea press thing and filled it up this time. Let it sit for 5 min and then poured myself another cup, gave my mom a cup to try and let a third cup sit out to cool so I could taste it cold. Which was also good. I had to keep reminding myself that coconut crème tea does not mean coconut cream pie tea, otherwise I'd be setting myself up for disappointment. But this did have a creamy taste to it. And compared to the smell, the coconut flavor is really light. But it works well. I don't think it needed any extra sweetening added to it and it made me think more along the lines of fresh coconut (which I have growing in my back yard. I think I'm going to try adding a couple of chunks to my next cup just to see what happens) than it did coconut cream pie.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: We were served this tea at an afternoon tea at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. it was so creamy and tasty that we were hooked! One person was not a tea drinker, and only drink coffee, and she raved about this tea flavor, also. it is pricey, but worth enjoying.

Mild and delicious. This is my second order. This is served at a posh resort in Scottsdale AZ at High Tea.

Great taste, good price, smell is awesome

Good flavor and smell.

Super good!! I had my first try of it on a recent cruise and ordered it the day I got home from that vacation

I'm a bit of a coconut freak, if it has coconut flavoring in it, I have to try it! That said, I had been searching for a coconut-flavored tea for a while and out of the 5 or 6 I've tried, this one is by FAR the best one! Most of the others just had a very artificial taste (apparently this seems to be a common problem for coconut flavoring)... This one has a very natural, subtle flavor and even though I usually prefer my teas sweetened with sugar or honey, this one is fine without! It is light and creamy, with just a hint of sweetness and I find, complements and enhances the subtle flavor of the white tea to perfection without overpowering it. It also blends fantastically with white rose tea. I first discovered it in the 1.5 oz tin on Amazon 2 months ago, but have already ordered it in the 4 oz pouch size from the AoT website! As a matter of fact, since discovering them on Amazon, Art of Tea has already climbed to #1 on my list of favorite tea suppliers and I've already placed 3 orders within the last 2 months. I also highly recommend their organic Silver Needle & Jasmine Silver Needle white tea and their "Amore" white tea blend! Consistently high-quality organic & fair-trade tea selection, excellent personable customer service, fast turn-around time (3-4 days) and most of all, their social and eco/environmental-awareness policies & practices makes them a no-brainer for me as my new go-to tea supplier. They are an outstanding 5-star company in every way and more companies should take their cues from Art of Tea.
