Kiki:
“Ohhhh, it smells good. Tastes a little citrusy, like, uh, tannic maybe. It smells like caramel or something, or butterscotch. Smells sweet. It tastes good. I like it. I like the uh, it’s got natural flavors in it, huh? You know they always make it smell a certain way with ‘natural’ flavors which aren’t natural. There’s vanilla there. It’s really smooth, like the creamy. I’m about ready to pass out with all this smelling! What is it that I’m missing?”
Banana.
“Oh it’s like banana, yeah, like those little circus peanuts. That’s pretty good! It’s an 8. So it’s almost like banana pie with the vanilla and the coconut. Thank you, Cameron!”

Next morning, I’m having the remaining teaspoon. The aroma is amazing. i don’t think it smells at all like circus peanuts, more like overripe bananas mashed for bread. Gah! Overripe bananas, vanilla, butterscotch, a touch of creaminess. I just wish the aroma translated as strongly on the tongue. It’s a little underwhelming. The base Ceylon is ok, it gives a nice astringent-tannic bite along with tobacco-wood flavors. Bird & Blend has won me over with their banana teas for sure.
Flavors: Astringent, Banana, Butterscotch, Creamy, Dark Wood, Tannic, Tobacco, Vanilla

Aww, you’re welcome Kiki! This is one of my favorites from B&B. :)
I still love those circus peanuts (or this time of year, marshmallow bunnies made from the same sugary styrofoam).
Circus peanuts are my most-hated candy. But I also dislike anything remotely banana-y, and they still taste like banana to me (even artificial banana falls under my blechy aversion…)
That’s funny…I despise bananas, but I have never associated circus peanuts with that flavor at all. We are all wired differently—those peanuts go straight to my sugar circuits!
