I can’t help comparing this one to H&S Bangkok, as they hit a lot of the same notes — citrus, coconut, ginger — and smell remarkably alike. The Bangkok’s citrus is a lemony citrus. I wanted to try this one because the description mentioned lime and I thought that sounded like an interesting variation.

I do get the ginger, the coconut, and the lime, but for some reason they’re not really coming together in the cup for me. The blend isn’t blending, if that makes any sense. I’m going to do some experimenting with steep times before I rate this, as I think I may have just not hit on the correct way to prepare it yet.

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
