Spumoni ice cream is hard to find in my neck of the woods, let alone good spumoni. I am delighted to finally get to experience a tea that is supposed to taste like the dessert!
It was smart to pair it with a green base. The dry leaf is creamy pistachio to the max. The flavour, however, is playing tricks on me. Initially, I thought I tasted banana, and then I thought that was a possibility because all of the little baggies from my sample pack were placed in a larger paper bag, and thought perhaps that this was sitting a little too close to the Banana Split sample. But as this cools, this is definitely pistachio, followed by chocolate. Perhaps the cocoa nibs are playing a role in screwing with my mind on the whole banana thing because the cocoa flavour reminds me of DAVIDsTEA’s Banana Split rooibos, which has cocoa nibs in it, I believe. Even the tea smells a little like banana ice cream, but luckily, yep, as I take a sip, there it is. Pistachio ice cream, folks.
