Story

The origin of coconut remains a mystery. However, many historian believe that the earliest coconuts grew in Malaysia and Indonesia. Its earliest written record appears in Sanskrit, revealing that the people of India were exposed to this fruit. Coconut images may also be found in pre-Columbian pottery unearthed in Peru. Marco Polo made a note of his encounter with the fruit when visiting India. He called it 'Pharoah's nut.' Other travelers were equally impressed. Coconuts feature prominently in the journals of Magellan and Francis Drake.

"I love coconut anything, and I was excited to see coconut tea from Adagio. It's a good tea, but I wish it had more of a coconut flavor. It was too subtle for me, but I usually go for strong teas like chai. "

"I love this tea. The coconut flavor is very distinct. I love how warm it makes me feel inside -- nice and tropical. Recommended with cream and sugar. "

"This is okay. It is a bit too sweet by itself, but sometimes nice for an indulgence."

"Really wanted to like this one, but it turned out oddly bitter. Maybe I didn't time this well enough. I'll certainly try again, maybe with more sugar and a shorter steep next time."
