Made this in my curve travel mug, which I am currently loving but will review later, because I don’t want the ‘honeymoon stage’ to colour my perception.
I’m sad that river tea went out of business so soon after starting up, as I really did enjoy many of their blends. This one in particular got rave reviews, and so I pretty much filled my steeping basket with the trail mix and let it steep endlessly. I’m drinking it a few hours later, and it’s really like people are describing: liquified banana bread. I suspect that waiting for two years to drink it has not been kind to this tea, but I know it could be a lot worse. It’s begging for a bit of milk though, but even just like this, you can taste a ton of banana followed by the way your mouth feels after you’ve eaten dates, without the actual taste of date if that makes sense. Maybe a honeyed sensation more than anything else. It’s lovely to sip on and it’s helping to warm me up in my frigid office. And tasting better as it cools!

Banana tea so good!! I was so sad to see River tea out of business. Was gonna place an order that week lol
I know! it’s too bad. The best ones often go :(
I totally missed the news that River Tea went out of business, and then suddenly a bunch of very sad tasting notes started appearing. I’m sad too, as I’d hoped to have a chance to order from them. Oh well. This does sound gorgeous.
sami, I’m glad you at least didn’t try it only to fall in love and have it leave you haha. I really thought this company would do well, though.
It was really sudden!
It was.
