Review: Coconut never goes down well in tea. Can we all just agree on that? So - the aroma of this one is so coconutty, but in a savoury way, like a Thai dish but not natural. On tasting it, we quickly declared it the worst we'd ever tried. The most tragic thing was that we both felt the need to taste it again, to work out what to say in this review...but that necessitated drinking more of it. It's just so overpowered by flavouring, and the taste of sugared desiccated coconut...left in a cupboard for too long. There's a musty, gone-off vibe. We shared it around our office to get further opinions and the general consensus was that it was awful - in fact, someone said it tasted like 'vomit'. Then, unbelievably, one person said, 'I like it - I'd give it a strong 7.' So it's obviously a marmite tea...but for us, it's an AVOID.
Best time of year to drink this: NEVER
