You want decadence? We’ve got decadence. This masala betrays conventions with a fermented Chinese shu pu-erh base, loading up on spices, adding just a hint of licorice to sweeten the aftertaste, and hitting hard with real, air-dried banana pieces. Making this as a latte gives it a stunning, incredible fruity spiced flavor. It tastes like dessert, like liquified banana bread. We know it’s hard to find, but we’ve found it works best with Macadamia Milk and a couple teaspoons of sugar.
