Tea of the Week for April 29, 2024!
When I first decided to go with this tea, I had to search the archives to make sure that we’ve never actually crafted a Banana Cream Pie Black Tea before – because – it seems like we should have, right? But after searching all the information that I have available to me – which has been severely limited to me due to the great computer crash of 2017 – I could not find a Banana Cream Pie Black Tea. There have… Read more

Soy milk complements the banana flavor well. This is so similar to other 52teas banana blends that I assumed I’d had it before until I checked Steepster for a note to be sure. It’s best cold, and I may have enjoyed the resteep even more than the first. It tastes nice, but the banana could be even stronger, and nothing about it says pie distinctly to me.
Currently sipping this tea. When I first decided to craft this tea, I was surprised that it was not a tea that we had currently blended before. We had created the Banana Coconut Cream Pie Houjicha & then later the version with white tea & houjicha – but never just a Banana Cream Pie tea. How could that be, given my love for banana teas?
Anyway, it was high time I remedy that! I slightly overleafed this particular pot of tea and I must admit that it’s even better when a little overleafed (sorry!) It’s really good when prepared according to package parameters, however, when it’s overleafed, the black tea base tastes a bit more robust while not sacrificing the flavor of banana cream pie.
I taste banana, I taste the creamy custard and a hint of pastry. I even get a note of the whipped cream topping. So nice. An ideal breakfast tea when overleafed like this. While conducting taste testing sessions with this tea, there were a couple of times when I had forgotten that I had a cup of tea somewhere (lol) and I’d return to it gone cold. It was really good cold too! I also tried it cold-brewed and it makes a really nice cold brew.
This one is almost gone although I will be adding a couple more pouches to the website later this afternoon – so if you go to the website looking for it, please be patient with me!
However, it’s important to still mention it because anything that I can’t (for whatever reason) add to the poll, I will add to my reblend list for the next year, and when it comes time for me to decide what to reblend at any given time (I generally do 1 reblend every month, some months I do a whole month of reblends, others, I don’t do any reblends but usually at least 1 per month) I turn to my reblend list. :)
okay. I will remember this. :D
