This tea brews a fairly dark amber color. Aroma is mostly of coconut. I don't like the aroma...it's more like that of a coconut lotion or soap than tea. I can't notice much tea in the aroma...the tea is more present in the finish/aftertaste though.

Although I find the aroma very unpleasant, I must say I like the flavor of this tea: it has just the right amount of bitterness. Also, it's pleasantly full-bodied. Still, that's not enough for me to enjoy this tea very much.

It might be better if there were more fruit in the aroma. I don't notice any fruit other than the coconut, which overpowers everything. There's a hint of vanilla, but I think this contributes to an overall character that smells more like shampoo than a beverage. Disappointing, especially after having a few better experiences with Tea Forte's offerings.
