drank Coconut Oolong by DAVIDsTEA
125 tasting notes

I don’t typically drink oolong but put a coconut in the set of ingredients and you have my attention. I love coconut. I also know I should probably drink more of oolong teas that why I was glad to have found this in my sample box. Dry tea smelled divine…. I imagined macaroons at once.

I love macaroons.

I steeped it for 4 minutes over the boiling water and ended up with fantastic result. The aroma held up well still enticing me with that sweet coconut desert I was about to have.

I have to say, I was surprised at the colour of the tea itself.. not being a regular oolong drinker I didn’t know how pale the tea brews. The colour was pale yellow, reminding me of white tea and apparently that is just right for oolong. It must be because the taste didn’t disappoint as well. The tea is smooth, delicious and very well balanced. I taste the tea and I taste the coconut… my brain thinks we’re having macaroons…. it’s all good. :)

Now I’m thinking I should probably order more of this with my next David’s order…. the more sips I take, the more convinced I am.

Edit: I’m preparing a new order and wanted to include this lovely tea in it… to my horror, they don’t offer it anymore! Why, oh why must you do this to me David?

Bio

It’s been a while since I joined Steepster and I think it’s time to write up a bio.

I’m a stay at home, married mom with 5 kids, most of them grown up. Only one remains with us now, my 7 year old sunshine which I push out of the house to school every morning and it’s not an easy thing to do.

I’m an avid gardener during a growing season and my goal is to grow most of the food we eat and save some for winter too. I’m also an artist and a huge nerd. I read books, I play computer games. My very first game was World of Warcraft (was addicted to it solid for a year, lol), then came Skyrim, Minecraft (with my 7 year old) and few others less memorable along the way.

I began drinking tea on regular basis just over 2 years ago when I decided to kick my morning coffee habit. It wasn’t pretty… I couldn’t function for 3 days straight but survived. A year ago I discovered loose tea and found Steepster… The rest is history.

Some of the staples in my cupboard are Dragonwell green tea, Japanese sencha, Silver Needle white tea, green roobois, darjeeling and pu’erh. I also drink variety of flavored teas for fun and I like to order tisanes and mix them with straight teas for even more variety.

Recently I found out how much I love oolong so will be stocking up on that as well.

There are few other tea lovers in my family: my mom and dad, my oldest daughter, my son and my youngest 7 year old. She loves when I try out different teas and I always have to remember to make enough for her to have a little taste.
