I’ve seen good reviews of this one for years, and I’m finally trying it! Nice banana flavor on top of a sometimes harsh black tea. Some sips are quite delicious with an awesome creamy banana flavor. Others are much too light on banana for me. The second steep didn’t have much banana, but it was tasty enough to be worth it. I brewed at a lower temperature the next time I had it, and that made the banana disappear. I think steeping at 200 for a shorter than usual time yields the best flavor, but I also think the banana should be a lot stronger. I’ll probably have another cup or two and pass along the rest. I want a lot more banana, but it’s almost there.

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
