Island Coconut Tea - flavored black loose tea

Uses

Serving Suggestion

This coconut tea is simply perfect as warm comfort on a rainy day.  For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of coconut milk, pineapple juice, or a slice of lime.

This tea pairs well  with snacks like tropical fruit, such as pineapple or mango.  It also goes well with many rice dishes and freshly-grilled shrimp.

Physical Uses

Coconut is good for skin-care.  The oils inside it are very light and easily-absorbed into the skin.  It also has anti-inflammatory purposes good to reduce swelling. If you have enflamed or rough skin, try soaking a washcloth in this tea (not very hot though, just slightly warm!) and letting it rest it on your hurting parts for about 15 minutes.

Aromatherapy Uses

The scent of coconut is good for relaxation and stress-relief.   Professionals also say it brings a feeling of lightness and relief in general, sometimes likening it to a sense of burdens being removed.  To take advantage of this, simply brew a strong cup of this tea and inhale the scent while sipping it slowly.

Metaphysical Uses

Coconut symbolizes protection and security (just look at the hard shell!).  To use it for protection, drink this tea and close your eyes, envisioning a hard coconut shell around your home to keep you safe.  Breathe the coconut-scented steam and let it be so. 

(Don’t forget the white insides, though. You need healing white Light inside, not just the dark shell.)
