Coconut Cream Pie

If you let this tea steep for a long time it tastes just like its name. Love it! I’ve seen some other notes say they don’t taste the coconut very much but I disagree. With a little sugar this tea is an amazing dessert flavour. I didn’t use enough tea for my 18 oz. pot but it was still amazing.

I love oolong… I love coconut… I love white chocolate… so yeah, it was obvious that I was gonna like it. I preferred the old coconut oolong, though. I still have some so I can compare and I found that the flavour of the old one was a bit better and the 2nd steep was also good. This one is less interesting to resteep.

I very much enjoyed this. It was my first coconut tea. It wasn’t too sweet or artificial tasting. I wish the coconut would have shined through more. A very nice dessert tea.

it is really good, but not in a coconut way. it is very creamy and I added about a tsp and a half of sugar and it was pretty sweet. the after taste has a little bit of coconut but I wish it was more coconut-ey.

On a whim I got a small bag of this from DavidTea while I was stopping by to pick up other teas. It sounded so good and smelled amazing! I love coconut, I love oolong, and I love pie. What could go wrong?! I tried it the next day and regretted my purchase. I am starting to realize I may not be a fan of chocolate in my tea.

The thick oily slickness on top, and a very murky color that is very off-putting. I taste the notes of coconut and cream but barely notice the “pie” part of the tea. I poured it for a friend and he liked it just fine.

Reading the other reviews I feel I may need to give this one another shot. I will play around with the steeping to see if I get different results.

First time I had this was in the 24 Days of Tea. Steeped for a full 7 minutes and had to choke it down. Second time I had this was out of the Tea Chest. I followed directions for 4 minutes and still was not satisfied. It tasted bland and boring and again I choked it down, but it may have also been because of the metal thermos I drank out of that it was gross. Finally, at 3 minutes in a nice plain mug I like it.

It’s good though. Light, sweet, vaguely coconut, nice grounding oolong flavor.

Advent calendar day 15. I’ve wanted to try this tea for a long time since I love coconut cream pie. It smelled like coconut for sure and when I steeped it, the flavour was light. I tried way oversteeping it and the flavour was stronger and I definitely prefer it this way. I quite enjoyed this tea. Since then, I’ve picked up 50 g using my redemptions.

Day 15 of the 2016 advent calendar! I have mixed feelings on how to prepare this tea because I don’t know how into hot coconut cream pie I am, but at the same time I haven’t had good experiences with iced creamy teas. This is also a very… chunky tea in that there are quite a few large chunks of it in there. Regardless, this tea smells delicious. It’s very strong on the coconut, but it smells very light and fresh, and you can also smell a hint of creaminess to boot.

I decided to steep this one hot, and it turned out very… weak? The color is very light and the flavor isn’t much better. I’m not sure where I went wrong with this, since I did use a full perfect teaspoon and I definitely think I steeped it long enough. Regardless, what I can taste is quite nice, just like a coconut cream pie.

I won’t leave a numerical rating on this tea due to the fact that my steep turned out so weak, but I will say that I like what I taste and am willing to buy a little to see if I can’t get it right.

This was the first tea i ever tasted of David’s! It was my favorite! I still drink it every week, but as I’ve expansed my tea-palate more and more I have moved away from it. But this really is a good tea if you like coconut! I usually drink it hot, but its great iced too! I do wish I could taste the white chocolate more. Its mostly a coconut tea…and thats what I call it! I always tell my boyfriend can you make me tea? and hell be like which one? and ill say…my coconut tea! I dont think of it as cream-pie tasting in any way. I would recommend though if you like coconut!
