This tea has a light banana scent when dry with this almost but not quite earthiness in the background. Once steeped it totally changes. Banana is very present and the not quite earthy scent is gone. There is a strong deep cinnamon, like cinnamon without the heat and only the deeper base flavors. It makes me think less of snickerdoodles and more of a banana foster, but I guess that would usually be more creamy. It’s a pretty smooth tea overall with good flavor. I caved and added a little sugar a few sips in thinking it would round out the banana flavor, but I don’t know that it improved the cup, it just kinda changed it. I bet this tea would do well as a latte! Maybe next time.

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
