Coconuty and a little buttery tasting, good with cream and sugar
Great alternative to coffee without the jitters & irritability. Coconut flavor is very mild & not overpowering. One 12 oz. cup of tea will give you energy & help you focus for approx. 4 hours.
I'm seriously addicted to this tea. I tried all the other Hi-Caf teas and this is by far my absolute favorite. It's a smooth and a peaceful buzz for the morning.
This is my go-to morning tea! Wonderful flavor! I've been drinking this almost every morning for years. I like that it comes in a refill pack so I don't need to throw away a tin each time.
Love to have a cup of the Hi Caf when my energy level isn't up to par due to being tired or just lazy.
I have been drinking this tea for years. I love coconut and the flavor was delicious. Last year, I decided to buy in bulk instead of a 36 bag tin at a time. The first bag was OK, but the next two bags had zero coconut flavor. The second bag was thrown out part way through because I thought maybe it was a bad batch or somehow had gone bad. I doubt I'll finish the third bag. I see on the website now there's no more mention of coconut on the ingredients list, but instead has licorice listed. I think it might be time for me to find a new favorite for the mornings. I'm giving this three stars because it was five stars when it tasted like coconut, but now that it rarely even hints at a coconut flavor, it's one star - so average of the two.
This is absolutely the best tea!!! The flavor is amazing and the extract caffeine gets the day started! Love it and I am never without it!!
Great tea for coconut lovers. The coconut flavor really comes through!
This tea is a staple in my husband's morning routine. He's tried the other flavors and enjoyed them. However, the coconut one is his favorite. It's just enough flavor without being overwhelming
Hi-caf tea is my morning ritual. I used to do the caramel version (which is fantastic as well), but switched to coconut because it smells nice as well as tasting great.
Coconut high caf is an excellent tea. I’ve been buying tea from Republic Of Tea‘s for over 20 years never disappointed.
This is my daily morning tea. The extra caffeine helps to get me going, and I love the taste!
I’ve bought this tea for several years…my go to morning tea! Subtle coconut smell and taste.
This tea has just the right amount of coconut flavor. It’s not overpowering but you can still taste it.
perfect jolt of caffeine before a workout
I’ve been buying this tea for years. It’s so convenient to brew a cup at work to get my caffeine fix.
LOVE LOVE LOVED it. great coconut flavor. such a boost in the morning.
What a tasty tea with ample extra caffeine! The flavor makes my family smile, and the added caffeine keeps us awake. Cheers on a super great blend!
This is my favorite Hi-Caf tea. I really like the coconut smell and flavor and I love the energy lift it gives me. ??
I have bought this in the sampler pack twice this year and I have been so impressed with the flavor. I really enjoy it hot but its good cool as well.
This is one of my favorite go-to teas when I need a little extra energy that doesn't make me feel jittery. Great taste, great tea!
Love this tea (I've been ordering it for years)! The coconut flavor is great and not at all sweet (IMO). I like the extra caffeine boost compared to regular black teas. Big fan of ordering in bulk and minimizing the packaging waste.
I've been drinking this tea for almost ten years now and it never disappoints. The caffeine is necessary (!) and I like that the coconut taste is less prominent than in the other hi-caf teas RoT offers.
This is absolutely one of my all-time favorite teas - and I drink a lot of tea! Warm, cozy, with hint of coconut, and a great pick-me-up!
This tea is a must have at our house. It’s delicious and gives yd the right amount of caffeine. It’s soooo good.
Overall a good option for a tea. Okay coconut flavor but I would prefer more myself, it seems more mild. I add a little vanilla creamer to give it a tea latte type effect.
This tea does have a pronounced coconut flavor so if you're a coconut lover like me, this is for you. The fact that it's high caffeine is just icing on the cake for me, as I've been preferring tea over coffee lately. Like many of the teas I get from the Republic of Teas, I use two teabags per large mug, even with the high-caffeine ones. But this is one I definitely like.
I have always been a coffee drinker but I decided to give this a try and now I prefer it over my old coffee. I add cream and a little honey and it’s delicious!
I just tried this tea for the first time; and now I’m wondering why I waited so long! The flavor was a lovely light coconut, and wasn’t in need of any additions. Such a pleasant surprise! A wonderful way to start the day.
Delicious coconut flavor. A good pick me up int the mornings
This tea is delicious. I make it was local honey and a splash of milk. I was glad to find it. I love coconut and the flavor is on point.
I just bought this tea a week ago and I like it overall. The toasted coconut flavor is prominent but you also get a lot of the black tea flavor which needs a lot of sweetener to subdue in order to get the coconut front & center. It gave me a nice energy boost without a hard crash.
While not my personal favorite, this is my wife's go-to morning tea and has for some time. Of note, this tea is not for the faint of heart when it comes to coconut. It tastes exclusively, and potentially overwhelmingly depending on your tastes, of coconut.
If you really like coconut, this may be for you. However, I thought the coconut flavor was pretty strong. I'll stick to the other hi-caf teas
I feel that coconut is a hard flavor to get right, but this tea does it. Add in the high caffeine, and you've got me. This is a staple in my cupboard.
I tried several of the high caf flavors, and coconut is by far my favorite. I probably start my morning with this tea more often than any other tea in my cupboard.
This tea is what officially converted me from a coffee drinker to a tea drinker! The caffeine content is obviously the biggest draw for me, but the flavor is great too and seems to be much easier on my tummy than any cup of coffee. This has become my everyday staple and I highly recommend! The flavor is very subtle and perfect with a small splash of milk or honey.
I have a cup of this tea every morning. Its smooth taste and caffeine boost is something I look forward to. I buy it in bulk because it’s that good!
I tasted a light coconut flavor but not a toasted flavor. I like having the option for hi-caf. This is ok but didn't wow me. I would recommend this tea with reservations.
I go back and forth between this and the hi caf caramel. Both are delicious and get me going in the morning!
Such a balanced taste, nuanced flavor - not overly coconutty, a perfect tea for a new change!
This is ok so far. I have tried it a couple of times and it is ok. I may need to try it a few more to really decide how much I like it. I do know that so far I prefer to add another flavor with it. It still provides that caffeine kick like the other HiCaf selections. I would still recommend this to anyone who likes or needs that extra caffeine and likes coconut.
Bought the huge bag knowing Id like it....but....I want to. There's just very little flavor. Im currently mixing it with other flavors to try to use it but its not working either. Ive tried making it stronger and weaker, sugar, no sugar. I know it has the caffeine but it really needs more flavor.
This tea is definitely as advertised regarding caffeine! It has a kick! However, it is very weak in regard to its flavor.
Tasty coconut flavor gently sweetened with licorice makes this unusual flavor a favorite here, straight up black, both hot and iced. Exotic!
Love the smooth taste and it has the right amount of caffeine to get my day going.
this is my go to drink in the morning instead of coffee
The tea is not bad, but the taste is more odd and than having a coconut taste. The caffeine along with the L-Theanine IS calming, as promised.
Got the 6 bag tin out of curiosity. I didn't really notice any increased caffeine boost. There is a nice toasted coconut flavor, but I'd be just as happy with the Coconut Cocoa tea (which tastes like a Mounds candy bar without the sugar) and never miss the toasted coconut note. If you're really sensitive to caffeine, you might notice a difference...maybe?
Great tea first thing in the morning, and the coconut flavor is spot on!
My husband loves the HiCaf teas, no more coffee!
Great tea, good energy, I have been drinking this tea for years.
The hi-caff teas always feel amazing to drink. It feels like waking up naturally when compared to being forced awake by coffee or energy drinks. Coconut is hit or miss for me, and I wasn't too fond of it this time. It was more of a strong coconut aroma than it was a taste, but it just wasn't my preferred flavor.
This coconut tea has a delicious flavor. I drink this every morning. It's great with a little raw honey, & a dash coconut milk or powder. It gives me the big boost I need to start my day!
Tried it as a friend of mine enjoys coconut tea…but different brand of course. I really tried to like this tea but I couldn't get passed the thought that I was drinking suntan lotion. Yuck!
This tea is great hot or cold so I enjoy it year round!
The flavor of this tea is amazing! The coconut flavor is very much present but subtle enough that the main star is the black tea (I do like over-steeping my tea, so that also probably enhances the tea flavor).
My Absolute Favorite!! This coconut black tea is the best hands down!! I love the extra caffeine!!
I bought this for my husband to sample. He's a big coffee drinker and loves a strong taste and he loved this.
This tea sure did give me that extra boost for my morning! As an everyday Lipton drinker, this one sure had much more buzz than I was expecting but it has a great flavor of coconut!
Awesome Quality! When you drink it hot, it is noticeably toasted coconut! Depending upon the conditions thereafter, I've noticed either the green or black base of the tea being prevalent. This tea was a great road trip companion! Just the right amount of caffeine to energize without the slump during stretches of boring road. I was able drive for hours, not get bent out of shape & then arrive ready to take on the town!
This tea is the perfect amount of caffeine for a workout. It gives you energy without feeling jittery. I work out or run every morning. I drink a cup before each process. It is much better than coffee.
This is a very lightly flavored black tea when kept hot. Ice it, though, and the coconut can be very overbearing. Good level of caffeine for those who really need it. I'd lean more towards the caramel hi caf if you're planning to go for an iced preparation, but this has charm when it's hot.
As soon as I opened the box I could smell that this tea was next level! I ordered 3 cans, this Bridgerton with Vanilla and Lavender, the Downton Abney with vanilla and Grandmama sitting in the garden. And I ordered the hicaf with coconut! All 3 are exceptional!! When you open each can the flavor is strong and it smells like quality product. I've drank tea all my life, I don't drink coffee or soda. And this tea is fabulous! The hicaf, is definitely THAT, highly caffeinated, but I didn't get the hitters or feel awkward. The black teas are also pretty caffeinated, which o was grateful for!! My order got stuck on mainland with FedEx and I called Republic and they were amazingly nice, they looked into it and didn't hesitate to offer to send me my order again with 2 day shipping, which to Hawaii cost a pretty penny. Their customer service is as quality as their tea!!
This delicious kick of caffeine is the perfect way to start your day on the right foot! Rich tea flavor with subtle hints of coconut. A wonderful balance!
I love this tea in the morning. I don't drink coffee, this is the perfect pick me up to start the day.
This tea is a great start to my morning. It has the caffeine I need, and the coconut flavor doesn't taste artificial.
Love the coconut flavor and option to have a high caffeine tea.
This is a great way to get my morning started, especially when my my day starts with a meeting. During the day, I'll use it as a base and add some hibiscus/pineapple tea too!
my morning pick me up
Wonderful when I don't want coffee, taste great and a pick me up.
This Hi Caf Coconut tea has a wonderful taste. It has a high amount of caffeine in it to get you going in the morning or a little pep later in the day. I love this tea and I drink a cup every morning. Great for non coffee drinkers!
I love coconut and this tea did not disappoint. The cinnamon toast is my favorite HiCaf but this is great too
I was pleasantly surprised by this tea flavor. You'll love this black tea if you like to add milk and sugar to your tea. I like to drink it cold with caramel drizzled on top!
I liked this tea but it needs more coconut. It is great if you are wanting a high caffine tea but kind of plain tasting. Not bad just not coconutty that I was expecting!
I'm not able to drink coffee anymore (harsh on the stomach) so I am all tea, all the time. This tea is perfect for my first cup in the morning. Great dose of caffeine, even-bodied taste and the "toasted coconut" flavor is just enough to make it taste like something other than black breakfast tea. I usually add a little honey and a splash of vanilla soy milk. I order this in bulk and can't travel without it.
If you are a fan of coconut flavored tea, you'll love this! I like to make it into an iced chair latte with caramel drizzle on top.
I love this tea. The smooth, gentle coconut flavor is divine. When I am dragging, it is the perfect pick-me -up, just a little more than my usual afternoon cup. I used to feel guilty about this indulgence. Then, a neurologist diagnosed me with a mild condition that is usually treated with a mild stimulant. I told him that this tea was working quite well and asked why couldn't I just continue using it? A decade later, it is still working just fine. Even if no neurologist is involved, try a cup. It might just keep the doctor away!
Tea tastes great and has enough caffeine that I can stop needing energy drinks. This stuff is delightful, I make 4 servings in the morning to get me through to the afternoon
Delicious! A fabulous alternative to coffee.
I was at first leary about the hi caff tea, but now I love it as a change from morning coffee. I really like the flavor of "Toasted Coconut Black Tea." It is also a great lunchtime energizer.
I enjoy this tea on the early mornings when I need a little extra to get me going. Often, high-caffeine teas have an after-taste, but the coconut in this makes this quite pleasant and smooth.
I enjoy tea but this flavor just was not good. There are better tasting teas, save your money. I feel a little stupid for trying something and spending so much money for something I will never drink again. The lesson learned is that I will stick with less risky flavors.
Love love this tea first thing in morning
Good taste
Delicious and more caffeine than a cup of coffee...where have you been all my life?! Coconut is soothing and transporting💛
This high caf tea is great for getting me going in the morning. Not to mention , it tastes wonderful too! What a great idea for those of us who don't drink coffee. I definitely will be purchasing this again.
A great tea to get my morning started. I enjoy 6oz. with some warm coconut milk to get my day started off right!
I Loved the taste. Perhaps was too much caffeine for me! I would only recommend this if you're sure you're good with this much caffeine
I thoroughly enjoy this tea. I drink it warm in cool weather and I ice it on hot sunny days! It has a natural and earthy coconut flavor...which I find absolutely delicious!!! That in combination with the higher amount of caffeine is what makes it my favorite tea!!!
Besides the tea being fantastic, I love the minimalist and eco-friendly packaging/shipping!
I love the taste of coconut and that it is highly caffeinated. Need this in the morning.
I've tried a lot of their High caf options and this is my new favorite
Looking for a coffee alternative and this is it! Very happy with this purchase. I can't say it really tastes like coconut though. Regardless, it keeps me awake so I will absolutely purchase again.
I am a graduate student and, as such, put in many late nights. This HICAF tea is the best tea I've found for late nights and early mornings and generally helping the underslept feel like human beings again!
What a great find!!! My husband has been avoiding coffee due to its high acidic effect in the tummy, and THIS TEA came to the rescue with its delicious toasted coconut aroma and taste. A splash of oat milk, and he can pretend it's a cup of joe. He's gone from making fun of my tea obsession to joining in. Ha!
This high caff tea is the perfect lift before you lift, or run. I feel great after drinking it and at 60,and usually run 6 miles on it. I highly recommend this tea
Not only do I love this tea and the extra caffeine but I recommended it to a friend and she drinks it all the time now too!
I've been a tea and coffee drinker my whole life. This tea has changed my morning routine. It's delicious, faster, and less time consuming than making coffee. I've tried every one but the Pom-Berry flavor and this is my favorite so far. My boyfriend loves it too and he hates coconut. It has a very light coconut flavor that adds just a little something to the black tea. I don't taste the licorice in it at all, but maybe that's just me? I will be buying more of this. The only thing that would be better is a HICAF BLACKBERRY SAGE!!! Please, please, pretty please?
I was pleasantly surprised by the coconut flavor. This is an excellent iced tea and, yeah, it's certainly caffeinated.
I love the hi-caf teas because they wake me up in the morning without over-doing it. I often feel a little jittery or get an upset stomach with coffee, and this really hits the spot. The coconut flavor is very subtle, which I think it perfect.
I have drank this tea daily for eight years - cannot live without it... it travels with me, it's on auto refill and I've even gotten my boyfriend hooked.
This is, hands-down, my favorite tea. I love how much the coconut comes through without over powering the taste of tea itself. I do wish this flavor came in a decaf or even regular caf version.
I've tried coconut black, caramel black, and cinnamon toast HiCAF teas and coconut is my favorite. I start almost every work day with it, and have come back to repurchase. The difference in caffeine is noticeable over a standard black tea, which I usually switch to (vanilla almond is my favorite) in the afternoon.
This is REALLY good, the flavor is quite nice! I add sweet cream coffee creamer & a big shot of oat milk for a creamy, coconutty, WAKEY WAKEY! mug of goodness. I've purchased this one a couple times & will continue to!
I love the HICAF Toasted Coconut Black Tea. I am not a coffee drinker but I do need a little caffeine boost from time to time. This is just enough. The taste is great too.
This is my everyday, go-to tea - I love it. It helps me caffeinate in the a.m. on weekends and remote days without the jumpy adrenaline feeling my beloved coffee often gives me. I love coconut and drink this black with two sugars - I imagine if you add milk, it would bring out the coconut even more. It's a natural coconut taste, not a gross suntan coconut, haha. I buy this in bulk a few times a year and will be so upset if it ever goes away!
Out of all the Hi-Caf teas, I think this one tastes the best and can be sweetened to your liking. I drink this every morning with bit of sugar and almond milk and it wakes me up like nothing else can. The coconut is subtle! I do not taste the extra caffeine in this like I do with the other Hi-Caf flavors.
With just a hint of coconut taste makes this black tea super tasty! Caffeine doesn't affect me, so I cannot comment on the effectiveness of it.
Great coconut flavor for a morning tea pick me up!
Great tea to get you going. If you do not like coconut or licorice flavors, this is not the tea for you, both are very pronounced. You can taste the added caffeine but it isn't a deal breaker for me unless I steep it six minutes or longer.
This tea is too good for its own good!! Wonderful caramelly Coconut flavor and man does it pack a punch in the caffeine department. I actually have to be careful with this tea and expect to have a very late day otherwise ill have a bit of trouble sleeping. Highly recommend for those who need the caffeine kick but arent a huge fan of coffee
Smooth, mild coconut flavor…gives a good caffeine boost…it's my favorite HiCaf tea!
I love this tea so much!! Start every day with it. Wonderful flavor and just a bit of extra caffeine makes it perfect!!
I LOVE the taste of this! Perfectly coconut-y…but I do wish there were a version with lower caffeine. To keep from overdoing caffeine, I sadly can't drink it every day. But it sure is a treat when I CAN drink it!
Lovely toasty coconut flavor, no weird aftertaste, and exactly the same almost-too-much caffeine jolt I get from miserably drinking a cup of cold brew on the rare occasions I really need that much caffeine. Not going in my regular rotation, but it's just right for what it's meant to be.
The good: It actually is really caffeinated; I've had teas that have claimed that only to... well. Have the same effect as normal tea. It's a nice, light flavor, which is good considering that I use these hi caf teas as part of my migraine treatment routine; anything stronger and/or more artificial tasting would trigger the nausea I get with them. There's no stevia! The bad: Sometimes the caffeine is a little too much - not to the point that too much coffee or soda would be, but I can definitely only have one cup of this in the morning compared to the two or three cups I can have with the pomberry hi caf version. No, I don't know why it's different, but it is what it is, haha. The meh: It doesn't lie; the flavor IS coconut, but the other reviewers that said it's closer to coconut water than coconut flesh (or coconut flavoring) are correct. Adding sweetener doesn't really add much to the flavor, so it just tastes kind of washed out. It's still drinkable, though!
I consistently reach for this tea to start my early morning hospital shifts to get me going for the day with the extra caffeine. It is a nice black tea with a bit of coconut- comforting and reliable.
This tea is perfect switching from coffee. I bought in a sampler this will be a must for me moving forward. Great tea!!
This is my favorite tea. It has more caffeine than a regular cup of tea but doesn't make me feel jittery like coffee does. The flavor is pretty subtle, which I think is perfect!
My husband doesn't drink coffee, so the Hi Caf teas are his life line to existence. Coconut and Pomberry are his favorites.
This black tea has the perfect boost of energy and a lovely, silky texture thanks to the addition of coconut. I thoroughly enjoy it with a touch of honey and splash of milk.
Hello fellow citizens, Republic of Tea has been a constant for me for countless mornings. It simply the best tasting and at such amazing price. I get the bulk purchase @ 250 bags it's certainly a value. The coconut toasted black hi-caf keeps me on focus all day, and the taste is divine. Start with a canister and you'll see what I'm talking about. GuaranTEAd
You know those days where you can't seem to get it in gear? Or you wake up hungover? Or wake up sick with a head cold or bad allergies? And the last thing you want to do is have a cuppa coffee instead of tea when you've finally stopped drinking coffee religiously in the AMs? (These days I like to restrict the coffee consumption for after special desserts like at a restaurant) If you are like me and have those kind of mornings occasionally, then having a can of this one on hand is a VERY good idea. Plus, add some buckwheat honey and coconut creamer and it's a treat as well as a cure for the fog. Yum!
I bought this tea for the days I need an extra boost of energy. It is so tasty that it is tempting to drink "just because". Really yummy.
I strongly prefer tea over coffee, but sometimes you just need that little burst of caffeine. The Hi Caf teas are perfect for this! I especially like the Toasted Coconut black. MMMMMMmmmm. Delicious by itself, with cream, or even iced. I have cold-brewed this too, which worked perfectly well! Best part is that I felt great after drinking it as well!
I've bought this tea over and over again! My whole office (40+ people) enjoys a cup when we need that extra push to get through a difficult/super busy day. We now buy it in bulk for the office. This is one of my all-time favorites!
I am obsessed with this tea. As a busy single mom, I have a lot on my plate and most mornings, I just need a little extra boost of caffeine. This is my fave way to start the day. The toasted coconut flavor is mild but delicious. I always have a supply on hand!
My daughter is an elementary teacher and the Hi Caf Coconut tea excites her tastebuds as well as gives her an early morning boost!
The coconut taste is not awful but I have tasted better high caffeinated tea. It's nothing a little milk and honey cannot take care of. It provides a nice start in the morning and is a good bargain when compared to other high octane tea makers. I also like that the bags are biodegradable and they go into the compost after consumption.
Great tea with coconut flavor
Great energy and good taste!
This is what kick starts my day at 3 am and keeps me going! You can really feel when it kicks in. Love the flavor, love my go go juice!
This tea has one of the most wonderful flavours and the effects are truly great to have and help one get up every day.
This does give me a nice boost in the AM. The coconut flavor is subtle. I can't drink coffee because it upsets my stomach. This is a great alternative and does not hurt my stomach. I'm addicted!
I usually love all things coconut. I have a couple teas with coconut in them in my stash. I got the Hi-Caf Pomegranate Blackberry in my Sipsby subscription box and loved it. When I cam to this site to order a tin I saw that the Hi-Caf also came in coconut. I was super excited because I recently went off coffee and miss my coconut coffee. This coconut is awful. It has this weird super perfume-y aftertaste for some reason. I decided to give it a second chance and tried a shorter brew time. It is still like drinking potpourri. I came back and reordered the Hi-Caf pomegranate blackberry and the Caramel cupcake like I had planned. I don't know what I'm going to do with 48 tea bags of potpourri. I would like to suggest that you have a sample pack of the Hi-Caf tea flavors so people can find which one they like best without ordering a whole tin of each.
I went to a tea show at the Ferry Building once. The Citizens were there handing out free samples of iced Toasted Coconut Tea. Remember those days before Covid? My friend and I gulped down 4 samples each of them and I was hooked. Eight out of ten people who have stomach problems from coffee (like myself) thank me for my advice and free samples of this and or the Cinnamon Toast hi- caff. They're kinda sweet, easy on the tummy and they don't make you a nervous wreck like coffee can.
Excellent flavor
Best overall tea! Love the flavor and caffeine content
Love this tea! Gives you alertness without being jittery!
My husband drinks a cup or two of this tea every morning. Not only does he enjoy the flavor, but he enjoys the amount of caffeine. I personally can't drink it because it's too much caffeine.
This tea is fantastic. Great BUZZ. I am ex-coffee drinker, and green tea extract works much better for me. Regular tea does not have the zip of coffee. But this HiCAF tea hits the mark. 50 tea packets with 140mg caffeine each for $14. What an amazing deal.
I love the flavor of coconut in tea. It is mellow but distinct and this tea is no different. It is an excellent source of caffeine for a pick me up without the upset stomach caused by coffee (at times). I would highly recommend this tea!!!!
If you like coconut, then this is for you. Definitely can taste the coconut flavor, smells great and I like the kick. I will get it again.
I love the smooth coconut taste with a caffeine kick.
The flavor is heavenly, rich black tea, vanilla, and coconut notes. I used to keep this tea in the office for long days. Now I love it most when I have the occasional migraine. It is just the right amount of caffeine and such a treat to drink.
Love the taste and smell, but more than anything I love the caffeine level! Two cups every morning and I can get through my day :)
This is my all time favorite tea. So smooth with just a hint of coconut. Just the right amount of caffeine to jump start my morning.
The Toasted Coconut tea has a great coconut taste. I bought it for the extra shot of caffeine ..... it isn't too much but just right to get me going in the morning!! One of my favorites!
I have a new interest in herbal medicinal. I have taken some courses elsewhere so I am trying to expand my knowledge on this subject
Bought it because I like the HiCaf cinnamon toast but found the coconut too sweet. Just my taste.
The tea is weak on flavor, but it gives a nice jolt with it's caffeine content. It is good for a drink before a workout.
I am not a huge coconut person but wanted to give this a try after reading about all the caffeine! The coconut offers a hunt of flavor to this black tea. It is not over powering.
I really utilize this tea as a student. It's really good tasting, with really strong coconut notes! The caffiene is also really good, it definitely wakes me up. It does give me the jitters on an empty stomach, though, so be warned.
I love this tea. I am a graduate student and part-time restaurant manager. I started drinking this when coffee wasn't doing the trick. I have to drink before 2PM though. Otherwise, I'll be up all night. I also really enjoy the taste. I add some lemon and honey.
Love the taste so I don't add milk because it mutes the toasted coconut flavor. Perfect way to start your day, and it doesn't make you hyper.
Just made myself my first cup. I don't know if it works as they say, but I LOVE the flavor. If it will keep me going at work then that's a bonus.
I have never been a coffee drinker. Always black tea (with milk and sweetener). I discovered this tea thanks to a friend while we were both in grad school. This tea is my life. I have the auto-ship because I start every day with a cup of it, and at work I have at least two of them. It's not at all over powering of coconut (I expected more, but I like what it is). I agree with an earlier review that calls it a "creamy" flavor. It is a truly delightful cup of tea, and the extra caffeine boost is needed and appreciated!
I like this hi caffeine tea. I am not a coffee drinker but this tea really is a pick me up. I work 12 hour night shifts and I am required to be alert at all times. This works well!
I do like the flavor of this tea. There's not a strong flavor of coconut. I would say that it has more of a mellow, creamy flavor. I prefer it to the other HiCaf flavors. I drink this on cold mornings before I hit the gym, and gives me a nice boost of energy to get me going. I don't get jittery at all from it and will admit that I use two tea bags at a time. I have bought this tea repeatedly and will continue to do so!
There are days this Hi-Caf is truly needed. I do add a wild blueberry tea bag to the cup and away I go! The flavor of the two together is great.
Consistent Republic quality of tea. I expected more cocoanut flavor. Good, though.
I cannot drink coffee because of acid reflux and chronic stomach problems. This tea gives me the caffeine I need in the morning and does not irritate my stomach. The flavor is mild and smooth coconut.
This is hands down my favorite tea. The high caffeine helps me to get my day started. The taste is amazing and very soothing. Thank you again for your great customer service and quick delivery.
I have been looking for a coffee replacement for quite awhile. I love this tea. I sometimes use two bags to make it stronger. I use coconut sugar with a little cream. I drank coffee for 30 years but it was aggravating my stomach. This tea is wonderful and subtle, not a heavy coconut taste.
I love coconut and was really hoping for a nice, strong toasted coconut flavor but didn't get it. The tea itself is good with no bitterness, but just can't hardly drink it because I can slightly taste some coconut but it just leaves me disappointed there isn't more of that coconut flavor.
Been drinking this tea for about two years. Flavor is amazing with black tea and coconut blending perfectly. Helps get the day started with a boost of energy
I bought it for the coconut flavor. I was concerned about it being Hi-caf, but it works just fine for me. Nice flavor
I have drunk the hicaf toasted coconut tea for a year now, and it has completely replaced coffee for me.
Excellent cup of tea! Perfect with a splash of cream and a little dab of coconut sugar.
I love this tea, it's almost completely replaced coffee for my co-workers and myself. We drink it almost daily, no cream or sugar needed! Great taste and terrific result in energy.
I love this tea! It's got a great coconut taste and when paired with coconut milk creamer, it's such a treat!
This tea tastes great with some raw honey & coconut milk. It does taste toasted but I love the combination. Out of all HiCAF Teas this one contains the highest amount of caffeine. 140mg is just right for me! Great alertness & energy with no jitters. If you love coconut I highly recommend trying this one! I recently found Republic of Tea & I have to say I absolutely love all the teas I have tried. If you like green tea I suggest getting the HiCAF Gingermint as well!
I'm sorry I haven't switched to tea sooner! The HiCAF Toasted Coconut Black Tea is delicious! It has a wonderful toasted coconut flavor and is delicious hot and cold.
Loved the taste of this from morning to night. No jitters but kept me alert and active. I carry a few bags when I have a long car ride for an added boost. Will try other flavors but love my coconut.
Hello... Who doesn't love the taste of toasted coconut ? Especially when it's in a tea and not a processed candy bar! This blissful tea accompanied me on a drive straight thru from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach with only three stops. Never jittery and no massive crash like you would get from coffee. This tea is the best when pulling an all nighter, a long drive, or a day that calls for a bright mind.
I tried this flavor for the first time in a sample bag in the break room at my work. I have never seen this before and I love coconut so I decided to try it. I have been hooked ever since and have been on the hunt to find them in local convenient stores. I never have any luck finding the coconut flavor anywhere let alone Hi Caf tea anywhere except for the caramel flavor at QFC. I settled for the caramel flavor and is still a go-to caffeinated beverage of mine. I was an avid coffee drinker and now all I drink is this!
Amazing taste-- the coconut flavor is smooth. It's also great to get the same caffeine effects from this tea without having to prepare coffee and add sweetener to it, which is the reason I purchased. I have not tried milk in it yet, but I can imagine it's AWESOME! Very happy with this product!
Once I discovered Hi-Caf tea, there was no other option! I gave up coffee because I needed sweetener and milk to like it. No need to add anything in this tea! I love the coconut one and several others, I alternate frequently. I even bring a tin wherever I travel.??
This tastes very good.
Delightful mild coconut flavor. I drink mine with a splash of milk. The high caffeine content is a benefit to my morning as I do not drink coffee
I am not a big coconut fan but this blend of coconut and black tea is the best tasting tea I ever tried. I love the 140 mg of caffeine. Its like an energy drink only taste good. I drink 2 to 3 tea bags a day. My favorite tea.
I don't like the taste of coffee but I needed a boost to get going-especially in the winter when its pitch black outside when I get up for work. I ordered a 3 pack sampler-this was by far my favorite of the three. It had a strong but not overwhelming taste and the caffeine boost definitely worked!
I knew as soon as I opened the can and didn't hardly smell any coconut that the tea was weak on flavor or perhaps old. It's not expired, but you'd never know by the taste. The tea itself is mellow with no bitterness, but I've had better coconut flavor. I've tried the Ginger Mint and Peppermint Bark and was blown away by the smell/ taste and I expected the same from this tea, but it just didn't deliver for me. I guess the feature lays in the Hi Caffeine alone? If you're looking for a boost, then this tea is for you. But if you're craving that coconut flavor, I'd suggest trying another like tea elsewhere.
I've never been a coffee drinker but have always needed caffeine in the morning and I had always gotten it from a Coke first thing. I quit drinking soda and found this an amazing and much better alternative! I LOVE it first thing in the morning warm with cream but have also found it equally delightful with cream over ice. I never understood a coffee drinkers obsession but I've now found my version in this tea!
I really liked the flavor of this tea and drink it every day in the afternoons to replace the caffeine I was getting from Pepsi. Being on a diet that allows me to drink tea made this a great choice for me. There is just a hint of coconut and it does taste great cold too.
I have to wake up at 3 am to work with an office in Germany so coffee is just too acidic for me that early. This tea does the trick to keep me moving and helps warm and wake me up. Sometimes I'll add a drop of coconut milk or coconut oil depending on what I have at the moment. Love it!
This is okay as hot tea, but amazingly refreshing as iced tea with a kick of coconut. Feels like I should be drinking it on a beach somewhere.
Don't like this at all. Tastes terrible.
I try to have a cup of this every afternoon. It just helps me to finish the day well. The taste is so smooth and rich, one of my favorites.
Great flavor and great replacement for morning coffee! Thank you for another great product!!!
I really love iced tea especially in the summer! This is a wonderful alternative to hot coffee in the mornings. Also, it would be perfect after outdoor summer activities, feeling tired and drained. Drink some of this and you're good to go!
I am a sucker for any coconut flavored tea. Usually, coconut is often paired with decaf/herbal teas and I was surprised to find a black tea! Just finished a cup and it hits the spot! I was busy doing other things while drinking and it was still enjoyable after it had cooled. Wasn't bitter or anything. Would recommend.
never enjoyed tea until giving it more than a few shots. this tea has an interesting taste but i love the energy boost it gives. almost feels like i'm completely relaxed/awake. it's hard to describe without giving it a shot. i'd go with the pom hicaf first. the best part about the hicaf teas is the crashless boost it gives you. i'm not sure how healthy it is to be consuming so much caffeine either way, though.
Avoiding trying this one for a long time because I thought it would grossly sweet. I was so wrong - it is delicious! Favorful with the savory taste of toasted coconut. Lovely with a drop of honey. Even my husband liked it. I'm not sure I love the triple caffeine - that might be a barrier to me deciding to buy it. I usually try to avoid too much caffeine, and I'm wary of the fact that this has more caffeine than a typical cup of coffee. Would you consider offering a lower-caff version?
This tea is really tasty and smooth. The coconut flavor is a nice compliment to the tea. But why Hi-Caf? Does it have to be Hi-Caf? I would much prefer a decaf if the tea has to be a special kind. Caffeine doesn't like my kidneys.
This flavor is awful. Tried two different cups of it and still yuck. I even had a fellow tea drinking friend try it and he didn't like it either.
I love to start my day with this tea or the Caramel HiCaf tea. Great taste that helps you get your day going!
I've always been a tea drinker, but I've just discovered The Republic. Looking at the website, the toasted coconut caught my eye because I love, love coconut. Around 3 each afternoon, I brew a cuppa to have with a light snack. Oh, my! I'm waiting on my third order of HICAF toasted coconut! Smooth, energizing, delicious! My new addiction! I suggest you give it a try.
Starting in December I gave up coffee and started drinking tea in the morning as the taste of it seemed to be like eating cigarettes, I saw online that the Hi-Caf tea's had more caffeine than a cup of coffee and thought I would give it a try, I have since found this is the most amazing thing to have in the morning. You do not get a crash as you would with coffee and tastes very good with almond milk creamer, the taste of the tea is both of black tea with coconut, and is a perfect combo.
I bought this tea in hopes I could get my husband to give up his morning energy drink. I finally converted him to a tea drinker with this tea. It has a light coconut taste and is perfect with a little milk and sweetener. He's already asking me to buy more!
This tea is most definitely one of my top favorites . Some are saying they don't taste the coconut. What? That is all I taste! Love it
I selected this as part of a sampler pack in order to fill the remaining space. One cup turned me into a huge fan! I replaced my morning coffee with this and had energy and mental clarity to spare for the entire day. I have not yet placed a hi-caf order but plan to in the near future.
No one needs to hear the gory details, but coffee in the morning just ruins me for the rest of the day. My daughter recommended this tea as a replacement, and it is divine - toasty and smooth, with just enough kick to it - no jitters here! I'll be buying this one in bulk.
Tastes like Honey Smacks with a hint of coconut. It would be five if it had more of the coconut flavour...
I'm a caffeine hound, although I have always HATED the taste of coffee. Not sure why, but I liken it to poison when it hits my tongue. But I've always thought it was really too bad I didn't drink coffee seeing as how I thrive on that caffeine buzz. Mountain Dew (or better yet, Sun Drop...check the label, more caffeine than Mt Dew)used to be my go-to morning pick me up until I discovered this tea. It's the best thing since sliced bread. Coconut Pu-erh is my staple, I suppose it's just natural I prefer this hi-caf flavor to the others. Thank you, Republic of Tea, for answering my prayers!
Some mornings are more leisurely, but when I absolutely need to wake up fast and focus, this is the tea I reach for. The toasted coconut flavor and aroma makes my mind go " ahhhhh," while the black tea provides substantial body - not like drinking bland, acidic hot water. No jitters or shakes - just a great cup of tea that makes you say quietly "Bring It."
I got this in the mail yesterday and brewed my first cup this morning, in a press tumbler I also got from RoT. I'm not sure which I liked more, the tea or the tumbler, but with each sip, I wanted another; I was really bummed when my cup was empty, because they only have coffee in the break room at work--no hot water--so no tea refill. However, there was enough caffeine in the tea that I did not miss my morning coffee, and I got a ton done in the first 3 hours of the day. I am switching from coffee to HiCaf tea in the mornings--no more coffee breath! The first sip tasted like hot black tea, but the finish was very much toasted coconut, and I really just couldn't get enough. I can't wait 'til morning so I can make another cup! I am betting it will be just as good, if not better, iced, when the weather warms up. 6 Teapots!
Got a sample of this tea and it was delicious. I'm trying to cut down my caffeine consumption or I would be ordering some.
Oh my! Not only is this a super yummy tea, it is fantastic as an afternoon pick me up! I added a teeny bit of stevia and a splash of coconut cream and it was perfect!
Hi, i just ordered and tried this tea. Very nice tasting, and I love the extra caffeine in it. Now how about making a high caffeine Earl Grey tea!
I hardly ever write reviews unless something is bad or good. In this case it's AMAZING! I've been trying to find something to replace my coffee since I want a healthier option. WOW! this tea with a splash of rice milk is heaven in a cup. Plus, I save money! Thank you Republic of Tea! no one makes tea like you! Finally found my holy grail. Also, the saturation of the tea is comparable to coffee :) yay!
My husband & I were looking to switch from coffee & pop to tea. However, my morning caffeine is very important to me. We switched to this over a week ago. Not only do I get my caffeine fix, my husband doesn't get the jitters he used to get from coffee.
wonderful tasting tea,Easily the best tea for a pick me up,I've lost the soda habit completely.
I have hashimotos disease and im anemic so with that said i have no energy so i was using the 5 hr energy drink but gave me terrible gastric so i was desperate to find some thing healthy that will be powerful to help me be alert through the day thats when i found this wonderful tea hicaf its amazing i take 1 bag as soon as i wake up in the morning ,moments later im feeling great alert happy without the side effects from energy drinks ,i dont really taste much of the coconut flavor neither did my husband but the tea is very good i truly like it and recomend anyone to try this specially if you have cronich fatigue this is a healthy way of dealing with that while you get better and when your healthy this company has many wonderful other teas ,i love blueberry and turmeric .
very tasty. Needed more caffeine and tried higher caffeine content coffees but they were too strong. Wish it had a little more of the coconut flavor, but would buy again.
I drink this every morning! Absolutely love it, and it's replacing my regular soda habit for a morning boost! Much healthier, too!
If you are having any doubts about buying this, go for it! The flavor is amazing... but what's more, the buzz you get is phenom. I am typically a coffee in the morning girl, but this is slowly replacing my 10 cups of 'jo :) Love love LOVE this stuff.
Strong, but it works overall a slow gradual pace which I enjoy. It's quite tasty with some honey and/or crème; I would buy again.
