Coconut

Coconut comes from the large fruit of the coconut palm, which grows along tropical coastlines from Southeast Asia to the Caribbean. Dried coconut flakes or chips add a creamy, nutty sweetness and a soft tropical aroma that rounds out the cup. Coconut is a favorite in black tea, green tea, rooibos and pu-erh blends, often teamed with pineapple, vanilla, almond or chocolate. Coconut blends are lovely iced in summer, and they taste rich and dessert-like with a little milk.
