The best coconut tea blends are smooth, toasty, and buttery. They are usually started with a mild base as loose leaf oolong or green tea. The smooth floral notes of a light-to-medium bodied oolong perfectly complement the lovely flavor of toasted coconut. Some playful accents such as pieces of tropical fruit, pineapple, papaya, orange peels might be added to the blend to set that easy-breezy mood. Natural vanilla is also very appropriate for a hint of tropical sweetness.
What are the benefits of coconut tea? 
A little bit of coconut can do great things for your loose leaf tea. For starters, it can boost the antioxidant level in your cup. Green tea laced with coconut shavings, coconut milk, or coconut oil is an excellent source of antioxidants, fighting cell death, preventing cancer, and helping you achieve your weight loss goals. Coconut has also been found to increase ‘good’ cholesterol in your system and reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol. This makes it heart-friendly and minimizes your risk of acquiring hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Coconut oil, in particular, can give your tea antimicrobial properties, keeping bacterial infections at bay. And coconut milk, with its lauric acid content, does the same for viral and fungal infections.
