…lime in the coconut and you blend it with green yerba mate, lemon balm, lemon verbena, lemongrass and natural flavors, and you have one delicious beverage!

I know I promised some folks a honeybush blend this week, but I’m working out a few more details on that blend–stay tuned. For this week, we have a truly unique and delicious blend of green yerba mate with lime/lemon and coconut. This is really delicious as an iced tea, the creamy notes of the coconut and the tangy citrus notes do battle for the attention of your tastebuds. I had a big icy stein of this earlier and it’s really, really delicious. You’re not going to want to miss out on this one.

If you are not familiar with Yerba Mate, you might want to read what we wrote about it here.

Our Tea of the Week for the week of June 21, 2010

Get yours while it lasts.

Incidentally, I am going to TRY offering the tea in two- and four- ounce quantities. This is a bit of an experiment for me to see how it goes. You can get one two ounce pouch for $7.99 or two pouches for $12.99. At least until we start running low on pouches, then it might go back to just two ounce pouches.

Congratulations to last week’s winner, Jessica E., who won a free pouch of tea from 52teas!

New Rules: We will collect responses through 11:59:59PM Central Time on Friday. From all of the correct responses we receive, I will select a winner at random using a random number generator and a count of all of the correct replies. The winner will be announced with the posting of next week’s Tea of the Week.

This week’s trivia challenge:
In 2005, Coca-Cola used the Harry Nilsson song “Coconut” to promote their Diet Coke with Lime, altering the signature verse to “put the lime in the coke, you nut”. Name three other acts who have covered the song “Coconut”.

Well, I accidentally ordered too much white tea, so here is the first of three white tea blends we’ve created for you. This will be our Tea of the Week, the other two just mid-week blends (I don’t want to overwhelm our subscribers with white tea blends).

This blend features our premium Bai Mu Dan white tea blended with real dried pineapple dices, freeze dried mango and papaya dices, freeze dried banana slices, our signature honking big coconut flakes and all natural flavors. As I wrote on the label, it’s like a tropical fruit stand exploded–IN YOUR MOUTH!

No contest this week. Sorry. Have to get the other teas posted and I am already behind. Check back with us next week!

Below you will find the original post I wrote for this tea more than a year ago now. Note that I mentioned even then that I thought we would be entering it into the World Tea Championships (Now known as the North American Tea Championships). Well, we did enter it, our ONLY entry into the competition, and it placed third in the Flavored Herbal Teas category!

If you have not had the chance to try this tea yet, you are cheating yourself out of a wonderful experience. It is as amazing hot as it is iced. Enjoy!

We create a lot of different blends here on 52teas. It is one of the things I absolutely love most about my job is experimenting with new flavor combinations and creating new and unique blends. I have to admit that some of our experiments are more successful than others. Some of the blends we create are good, some are great, and a few, like this week’s Tea of the Week, are just phenomenal!



Sweet African honeybush appears to be MADE for tropical flavors. Combine it with dried pineapple, unsweetened coconut flakes and a touch of rum flavor, and you’ve got a tea so soothing, relaxing and pleasing to the senses, that, like I wrote on the label, you ought to be required to sip it from a hammock on the beach.


We hope this tea blows you away as much as it did us. I’m seriously thinking this might be one to enter into the World Tea Championships next year. Enjoy!

Incidentally, if you are ever curious about the answer to the problem of calculating the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow (see our label if you have no idea what I am talking about. If you still don’t know, I feel for you) check out the very complete answer found here.
