Thanks TeaNTees for the sample!
I wanted this to knock my socks off. Two of my favorite food groups are kiwi and cheesecake (yes, they’re food groups to me :P). I thought that combining them would be the most epic thing ever and now I want to make an actual kiwi cheesecake because that would be awesome.
Anyway, the tea.. Not what I expected. The dry leaf smelled great and I brewed it according to the package instructions.. Take a sip.. and.. this tastes like.. banana bread? Literally, if you were to blend up banana bread into a liquid, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. sigh
Is the tea good, in general? Yes.
Is it what I expected/wanted? No. :(

Now I’m going to have to pull out the cup’s worth of this I have left and see if I get the weird random banana bread flavor too! :-/
I know it wouldn’t be flavor cross contamination because I don’t even have any banana flavored oolongs in my oolong cupboard. How strange.
I’m sipping this now and noticing it tastes more like banana! I wanted to read tasting notes to see if it was just me… maybe the oolong base tastes like banana?
