drank Coconut Cream Pie by DAVIDsTEA
1759 tasting notes

Borrrrrring. So glad I had only a sample of this. It was all coconut and pretty much nothing else. Not any different than most coconut teas I’ve had and I couldn’t even tell that it was an oolong. Bleh.
Also, I found it overly sweet. Nuff said.
It could do well as a thai soup base. Maybe.

I just got some of this today. I had recalled it as a sample not too long ago and not being impressed, but I wanted to play with it at home. So I have like 2-3 steeps worth. Might try it as a latte.

I had a latte today, from the store. I don’t know if I mental prepared for it to be better, or if it as a latte was just comforting on my way home as it was quite cool and windy, but I really liked it. I think it was still a little weak, but I think the latte treatment brought out more of the cream pie aspect, and I think the coconut was a little stronger. I wonder how this would be if you used a bit of actual coconut milk in it….

I might consdider buying a bag of this to latte it. It was definitely more indulgent feeling this way.

Coconut tends to be rather hit or miss for me. Oftentimes it just… doesn’t work for me. Even if it is sweet and rich etc. Wish I knew why, wasn’t always the case…

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
