Day 3 of 52 Teas 12 days of Christmas.
The dry tea smells like…banana flavoured penicillin…yuck. Ha ha. There are pieces of dried banana in the blend so that is exciting.
The brewed tea is actually not terrible, even for someone who is definitely not a banana fan. Initially it tastes like unripened bananas. As it cools, it does morph into what I recall, distantly, banana pudding tastes like. It is a thick, sweet, artificially tasting banana flavour. It is creamy. Every once in a while I feel like I get hints of creamy vanilla or caramel. There may be some nuttiness in there, pistachio or almond.
I am still not a banana lover but I have to admit this tea is not as bad as I thought it would be. I most likely won’t finish the little sample pack though.
Try steeping it for 3.5min. With some milk, this was much better for me! :D
OMG, I so remember the banana flavoured penicillin! I actually didn’t mind it. Mind you, it was fine if it meant successfully battling strep throat, but in tea? Yeah, weird haha.
