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 found this tea to be very unpleasant. It has a very potent unnatural coconut flavor that overpowers the oolong tea. I would advise buying the sample before committing to a large quantity."

"This is a wonderful warm version of drinking a pina colada on the beach! Very fragrant and the coconut taste is just enough to not cover the delicate balance of the tea. I think I have found my new favorite."

"Not liking the regular (black) coconut tea, I decided to give this one a try. This is a very pleasant, light tasting green tea. The coconut flavoring is very very light, so if you're expecting a heavy presence, you might be disappointed. Will finish sample."
