drank Smoked Maple Banana by Butiki Teas
2291 tasting notes

Aww yeah. I don’t usually like banana flavoured things, but since the other one I had tried (Hello Sweetie? IDK, brain has left me) was good, I thought I’d try this one.

WOW. It’s not super smoky. The banana is very present but not overwhelming. The maple lends a feeling of sweetness, although I’m drinking this black.

So far I’m really liking this tea. Yum yum yum. I’ll revisit in a few weeks/days and see what I think of it then!

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 1 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I’m with you in not liking banana flavored things.. yuck! I too have tried Hello Sweetie and a tea from 52teas that both surprised me. Somehow in tea it hasn’t repulsed me.. yet. This one sounds good too… I like to make whole wheat banana nut pancakes and this makes me thing of them and a good cup of coffee.

In general I prefer green bananas so having banana flavored things that aren’t too sweet or ‘ripe’ is pretty amazing. :)

I was interested in this one, but I opted not to try it because i am not a fan of smokey teas. But the maple banana was still begging interest since I like both. In the end, I decided against trying it, but maybe I should have if it is not that smokey. Oh well.

Others have wished for less smoke, so I think it’s a matter of what you like/don’t like, and what you’re sensitive to.
