Another sample from Cameron, thank you! :)

I used all the powder (~2 tsp) and heated the kettle to 185° F to pour just enough water to whisk the powder. Then I steamed a wee bit of soy milk and poured that on top. I took a sip and it seemed a bit bitter or something akin to bitter, so before drinking any more, I added 1/4 tsp of coconut sugar to the top.

This is pretty tasty, and does have lovely banana flavour. I wonder if this would be better cold? The addition of the sugar adds to the banana-ness here, but maybe the hojicha makes it more toasty than I was imagining. Nevertheless, this was fairly tasty, but not something I need for my own cupboard.

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 2 tsp 14 OZ / 414 ML

I never drink hot lattes, and I love this one cold with oat milk.

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
