drank Coconut Chai by Satori Tea Company
2170 tasting notes

Today’s cup is sweet and milky and spiced with ginger. I steeped the tea in 4 ounces of water, then added 4 ounces of steaming milk that I had warmed with a spoon of honey. It’s a luxurious treat this Saturday morning.

This is a good tea, one that smells of ginger snaps and coconut. The deep, dark tea and the spices – it’s a welcome departure from the fruity hibiscus herbals I’ve been drinking this week. Having teas like this one reminds me of why I keep coming back to tea.

Flavors: Cookie, Ginger

Sounds tasty!

It really is! It’s one of two chai I’ve been loving lately, the other being the Vanilla Red Chai from Saint Simons Tea Co.

I’ll have to check those out! There is a place here that had a chocolate coconut chai that I quite like too.

Oh wow, chocolate coconut chai sounds incredible! I wonder if you could do something similar by melting chopped chocolate in steamed milk before adding to the steeped tea? I may experiment with that a little.

Saint Simons doesn’t have a website yet (just a Facebook page) so for now I think ordering is limited to phone calls and in-store purchases. I would be happy to send you some to try though if you think you might like it.

Plunkybug

Sure. I could, in return, send you Janet’s. Message me?

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
