In the Summer, when I ice this tea, I need to remember to buy some tiny umbrellas! :))Ĭupped & Reviewed: Friday, January 13, 2012.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. Right now it is too cold here to drink anything iced though. ![]() :)) I could see myself drinking this in the warmer months-this would make a great iced tea. I probably could drink this every day! It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. This is one of my favorite blends and Bankok Blend would go perfect with Thai food. I aso used more quantity “leaf” per cup, probably closer to 1 1/2 tsp. I think to achieve a good balance I would steep this blend at 3.5 minutes, but no more than four. I enjoyed this cup too, but the green tea was more prominent than the flavors here. Here the flavors come through well enough, and the longer steep made thee green tea pop, and made my mouth pucker. My second cup was steeped at 4.5 and around 200 degrees. ![]() A really good balance of the green tea, coconut, lemongrass & vanilla. The tea is really good bancha with no bitterness, but there is good flavor. I really like it when you can taste the TEA and the added flavors. Sometimes vanilla can be overdone, but not here. What I really like is that the vanilla was well represented, but more of a background flavor. A yellow colored liqour greeted my eyes as I waited for the cup to cool.Īt 3.5 minutes, the coconut, came through very well, and the lemongrass was quite noticeable and refreshing. Bancha is more mild than a Sencha, and it works really well in this blend. This looked like a Bancha green and not a Sencha. In the wet leaf aroma I could actually smell the green tea now. Amazing aroma, and I couldn’t wait to drink a cup. AHHHH, there it is-vanilla! Those were the three scents I detected, and I couldn’t detect any ginger. ![]() What was it? The aroma was secondary to the other two but… SSNNIIFFFF…. I immediately smelled the coconut…it just hit me in the face! I inhaled the blend deeply and smelled lemongrass, and there was something else. Surprisingly, I reecently found this and tried it today. So now I, “Really digg coconut man!” Harney’s crafted this blend a few years ago, and I always wanted to try it…….so last year I bought a tin. ![]() Then I tried Thai food and loved the way coconut was a part of their delicious food. Then I had macaroons at a Chinese buffet and loved them. Quite a few years ago I remember not liking coconut very much, because my mom used to make coconut cake that was too sweet. I love that you sent me enough to experiment with, Alphakitty!! I should really get on that cold-brewing. That is, unless this is one of the ones that is fantastic iced (gah!! This is why I need Steepster! To check on such things!) Thanks again, Alphakitty!ĮTA: Second infusion, 175F for 3 min, is pretty good too. Although I like it (proof: cup finished while writing this review), I’m not sure it’s a tea I’d drink too frequently, so the very generous sample I received will probably do me for a while. I’m not sure what else is in here, but everything is really working quite well together. The base tea is quite present and tasty, which is great. The flavors certainly do not lack creativity, such as cigarette ice cream, wasabi ice cream, steak ice cream, and 17 more flavors, each one more unique than the last. I can taste the lemongrass but it’s not overpowering, and there’s a coconutty sort of creaminess that lingers in the aftertaste along with the lemongrass. This is definitely an interesting blend! I’m drinking it cool because I got distracted by a few things after it was brewed, so I will still need to try it hot (or at least warm). ![]()
