![]() 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. 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. I would recommend the experience overall as it was definitely interesting and we met some great people but I would say to limit your expectations, and if you are a vegetarian limit them even more.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). I would have completely understood if they had warned me they could not cater for vegetarians as I knew it would be difficult, however they didn't and I paid the same as the rest of the group for a substantially reduced experience. The other let down was the food choice, being a vegetarian I did warn the company well in advance of my dietary requirements however the hosts seemed very surprised and panicked when I reiterated it on the day and at many food locations. The hosts we had were not the usual ones when looking at the names of hosts in reviews and I believe they had been given the job last minute as most of the night seemed like guesswork and confusion between the two. I took my family as a surprise on our first day in Bangkok, I'm glad we had the experience but our lovely and friendly but seemingly inexperienced hosts did let it down.
