I love banana teas and smokey banana teas at that, so I was super excited to try this! It steeped up pretty strong and I see that the recommended temp is a little lower than what I used. I’ll have to try a lower temp or 3m next time. It took a few sips to get used to the flavor and have the initial bite fade. Once it does, the sip is filled with sweetened smoke. The banana comes in on the finish and the flavor is complex and rich. Adding cream tempers the smoke and lets the banana come out a little sooner. There is a depth in the finish now, but the banana is still on the lighter side of what I’d hoped for in flavor intensity. I’d like to get to know this tea a little better in future steepings!
