365 Days of Tea Challenge – Day 20
Okay, serious business! I’ve heard amazing things about this tea, so now it’s time to try it myself. I am both a banana lover and a pancake lover, so this tea was made for me!
You guys, this is just stupidly good… I mean, come on.
To me, it tastes closer to banana bread, as there’s definitely a distinct nuttiness that suggests walnuts or pecans. It has a lovely bready or cakey flavor! The banana is super duper natural-tasting, and it’s definitely a sweet, ripe banana. Personally, I prefer greener bananas for eating, but for banana bread it’s spot-on!
Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely some maple syrup slathered over this particular banana bread. Or maybe it’s banana bread turned French toast! Yep, I’m going with banana bread French toast.
Regardless, it’s delicious. Smooth, sweet, maple-y, cakey, decadent banana bread goodness.
Now I’m just mad that this isn’t a permanent blend and I only have a 15g taster. I’m mad, Anne! :P

And now you know why I sold out all the Foggy Coconut like a tyrant the second it finally reappeared. * shifty eyes *
Is this why we all love 52Teas so much? The blends are rare and tough to grab! If there was overstock… maybe there would be less love for these blends (I will tell myself that anyway.)
I’m sorry that I don’t have the room to keep all the teas in stock but at the same time, I’m quite humbled and appreciative to know that there are teas that people love and even more so that some of my originals are now getting that kind of appreciation too. :)
I loved this one!
@Anne – The next permanent tea should be a banana one! ;)
I will announce another permanent tea with the holiday box this year – right now, it’s somewhere between a banana one or the foggy coconut.
Banana banana banana banana banana banana banana….did I mention? Banana? :)
Ooh, that’s exciting! I would vote for banana, but the Foggy Coconut is very tasty too!
You guys are all against me. :-P #TeamFoggyCoconut
@ Alita – It’s a conspiraTEA!
doing best telenovella impression of Valentina from RuPaul’s Drag Race GASP! I knew it!
Team Foggy!
i think there should be both a permanent blergamot tea AND a permanent banana tea…but start with banana haha
@Sil – I need to take it in steps, right now it’s difficult enough for me to keep up with the four teas that are in the permanent collection! I am thinking that I will do one per year or perhaps one every two years – until I get to 9. 9 is the magical number where D’s teas will stop. 9 is the number there will be and the number there will be is 9. Eight is too few and 10 is too many. 9 is the number there must be. (Help, I have been possessed by Mojo Jojo!)
@anne haha i hear you on that. We appreciate all that you do – would rather see you take it easy than burn out and quit alltogether! there are always monthly reblends :)
yep :(
