Banana Nut Bread

Definitely an interesting tea! There wasn’t a ton in the bag because of the large pieces, which was a bummer- so not sure I will buy all the time, but it was a nice treat! It was also a little sweet so I definitely wouldn’t put anything in it!

I don’t love this, but i don’t hate it. The banana isn’t quite what i want it to be, but it does carry that banana nut bread impression. what i REALLY hate, is the sludgey mess it made of my infuser. gross.

I enjoyed this almost as much as the cardamom French toast. Quite sweet and makes a good dessert tea.

Haven’t had this one forever.

Today was a day of medical tests and sitting around waiting from ridiculous o’clock onwards. I still feel like I have sand and grit in my eyes from lack of sleep (and probably fluorescent lighting making things worse). The moral of the story is that hospitals are to be avoided, if at all possible.

I treated myself to that rare espresso latte after lunch, so when I got home, it was all about low or no-caffeine. This was the choice. In my memory, this tea is ever so much better than what landed in my cup today. I didn’t add anything to it, perhaps that’s the problem.

I won’t change my rating though, because I am holding firm to being an optimist and I suspect this tea can still be glorious with the right moment and the right touch. And yay, so lovely that the sun is still shining so brilliantly so late in the day.

I was pretty skeptical of this. I’m not a big fan of nutty teas.

I only purchased 20g of it, and unfortunately it’s a ‘bulky’ tea, so 20g is barely enough for two large mugs of tea.

As it was steeping I was hit with the banana scent and mmmm!!! It smelled so good! I was very excited to drink it! It is definitely pre-sweetened, but not overly. I enjoyed the flavour and it definitely did have a bit of that “baked goods” flavour I wanted.

Downfall – It re-steeps horribly. Expect to have it once, and toss it out. And don’t forget because it’s weighty, you won’t get much to begin with. So if you are thrifty like me, the value just isn’t there. (OH I heart my Vanilla Orchid Oolong, that I can resteep like 5 times!!)

Nutty and lovely. Will certainly use a disposable bag moving forward – makes a mess.

This tea is one of my favourites. It’s sweet and rich, and is a perfect seasonal treat, so stock up! The one downside is that it is very heavy, so per cup is slightly expensive. The salesperson who sold it to me indicated that there was no tea leaves in it, so one could eat it over cereal or oatmeal as one would have granola. I haven’t yet tried it, but if someone has I would love to know how it turned out. Happy steeping!

Got this one hot in store today just to try it out.

It may be the “Tea of The Month” for November, but it’s not actually a ‘new’ tea, though. My mom didn’t believe me when I said that this was an old DT blend that they had “revived” but the three year old tasting notes for it here in Steepster confirm what I was already pretty sure I remembered. Anyone know if the general ingredients were changed at all from what they originally were?

Anyway; I actually liked this a lot more than I expected to which is kind of awful because I already have so many more herbal teas from DT than I want to and on top of that it’s a really heavy tea too. Which means it’d be expensive to stock (which is why I got it hot rather than buying a sample amount). It’s very naturally sweet though; and has a thickness to the mouthfeel which was pleasant. I liked the banana flavour and subtle nut notes and the dates were also a really nice touch! Most importantly, I didn’t really taste the raisin at all! Which is fantastic. The flavour is very accurately Banana Nut bread!

And I just love that there’s now a permanent banana tea on the tea wall. That’s a major flavour that’s just been lacking. I mean sure, there was Banana Split (and once upon a time Banana Oolong) but they’re no longer there. I’m definitely tempted to buy this again; I want to try it both cold brewed and as a latte.

This tea is bulky; not too many cups consumed and I have already used the ounce I purchased. Flavors are spot-on with banana bread, and it is pretty tasty. Full review coming later this morning to createwritedrink.com. Worth trying, if you like banana bread.

Not a tea for me… But it has a nice banana flavour and there is definitely a nut taste to it, but I’m not much for banana stuff unless it’s just straight up a banana or banana bread.
Either way, it was a good tea but I probably won’t buy any as I don’t really think I’d be the type to grab for this one.
