Sip Down
My energy levels are low today. I worked extra late, went to bed late, and woke up early after a lousy night of rest. Oh well! At least there is tea!
I didn’t have much leaf left in the sample bag, so I decided it was time to drink it down. The dry leaf didn’t resemble banana, but there was an off-putting buttery note. I didn’t allow that to deter me from making a cup. I tossed 195F water into the mug and brewed for 3.5 minutes (I wanted a strong cuppa). The tea is quite smooth, a little buttery, and a bit of coconut laced banana chip note. Normally, I don’t find a mouthfeel to be unsettling, but this cup brews thick and leaves an odd oily texture on the teeth, cheeks, tongue, and top of the mouth. Otherwise, it’s not too shabby!
Flavors: Banana, Butter, Coconut
