Tea tasting: Tea Forte's Lychee Coconut

Tea Forte can be counted on for some interesting flavor combinations, and its Lychee Coconut White tea is no exception.  The aroma is almost entirely coconut with just a background hint of something sweet.  It puts me in mind of a coconut limeade drink at Cafe Pesto in Hilo, Hawaii.  There's less coconut in the flavor, however.

The predominant flavor is of white tea, with the sweetness of the lychee coming out after the initial taste.  The coconut makes the lychee's sweetness rounder and gentler, creating a smooth ending.  The two flavors mesh extraordinarily well.  This is a bright, slightly sweet tea that feels like summer.
