I had to get this today in hopes that it would make a good stand-in for the Spice and Tea Exchange coconut Oolong. Then, I had to try it pretty much as soon as I got in the door. The Tealish employee said this was her favourite tea in the universe, so that was promising!
Coconut Bongo smells incredible, and quite close to the S&TE one. Very similar both dry and once steeped, though less potently aromatic. It, thankfully, doesn’t disappoint in the taste department, either. It has the same creamy, bakey, toasted sweetness that the other version does, and a similar relationship between the coconut flavour and the green Oolong. But, it’s lighter. Both the flavouring and the body of the tea are a little lighter. This is an awesome tea and a good substitute, but I think less mind-blowing.

I’m thinking we need to get a bunch of people together and do a mass order of the STE version!!
Good idea! I have been tempted to order myself 4 ounces. I think it would go relatively quickly!
oh it really does!! I’d have it so much more often if I had a big tin :P
I’d be in on this mass order gals :) Just sayin’.

We need a wholesale discount!
