I am always a little dubious about coconut in tea. They don't seem to be flavors that go together naturally (and I say this as someone who likes coconut). But, Adagio has surprised me once again with its Coconut Grove Pouchong.
Pouchong, more usually known as Baozhong tea, is lightly oxidized and usually not roasted. It falls somewhere between green tea and oolong tea in flavor. This particular pouchong has floral notes that are enhanced by the addition of blue cornflower to the mix, along with the coconut. The coconut notes are ever so slightly sweet. The whole brew (without sugar or honey) has a clean mouth feel and a nice smooth aftertaste. It smells really nice too.
If you like coconut, it's worth trying a sample of this tea; it is not for everyone, but if you like this sort of thing (and I do), it's a fine cuppa.
