They had this on sample yesterday. Coincidentally Owlie is on an oolong kick so three lightbulbs went off. Chocolate? Check. Coconut? Cheeeeck. Oolong? Absolutely check.
I haven’t tried a resteep of this yet, and I slightly oversteeped my first try as compared to when I sipped in store. Am I even drinking the same tea as the rest of you though? ’Cause this owl got almost no licorice the first time, and only slightly more the second. Either way the coconut and chocolate are quite..pronounced. And yes the first sip does make you blech out a bit, sort of like Starbucks Chocolate Chai did…
Just be mindful of how long you let it steep the first time. Leave it in too long and you’ll get more licorice. To me though this one taste like these chocolatey coconut balls my gran makes around Christmas. Slightly bittersweet, rummy, coconutty…
