Description
Do you know what's better than sitting on a beach in Tahiti, popping a straw in a fresh coconut, and wasting the day away? Well, nothing actually. But with our Coconut Pouchong, you get that same fresh coconut taste. Not the artificial tasting Piña Colada mix found at your favorite beach bar. This tea combines the taste of real, buttery, and silky coconut with a light Pouching tea base. And, while it won't quite get you to Tahiti, it's the closest thing to it.
Tasting Notes
It's the unusually long, elegant leaves of this South Pacific delicacy that give the tea its light, slightly floral, and calming taste. As for that hint of tropical sweetness? We've got the nectar of young coconuts to thank.
Sourcing
Our Pouchong is grown in the Fujian Province, just outside of the Wuyi Mountains. The farm is located on sunbaked land that is mostly mountainous and is traditionally described to be "Eight parts mountain, one part water, and one part farmland." That's how we get a tea leaf with smooth floral notes, a light body, and a sweet finish.
Coconut Pouchong uses only real extract. In order to extract the coconut naturally, we start with real coconuts and roast, shred, and steep them for over one week. We then strain the coconut pieces leaving only pure coconut extract that is both smooth and buttery.
