Tea of the morning here.
They opened up a Spicely store on Market Street where I catch the bus and they have quite a large tea collection. Oddly I don’t see any teas when I go to the Spicely website. Maybe we’re a test market?
Anyway this wasn’t cheap, I paid $11.99 for 2 oz. of tea and even complained to the checkout girl that this is a lot more than I am used to paying for tea (I almost bought some other flavors too!). The tea is organic which is a bonus and non-GMO. Is any tea made with GMO’s? I haven’t a clue.
So I steeped it up this morning and was slightly disappointed. The black tea base is a little bit thin and so is the banana flavor. I got more vanilla and coconut. this was better with a touch of rock sugar. They recommend a steeping time of 2-3 minutes but I might let it go for 4 minutes next time. It certainly smells divine in the tin but I was hoping for more banana ‘cause I love banana flavored things. I’m hoping that messing around with the steeping parameters will make this better.
IMO 52 Teas always makes good banana teas. Maybe Frank will do a version of this someday? ;)

Were you able to snag some Banana Pudding when he did that one? It’s banana coconut creaminess and so so good. I’m kinda hoping for a reblend because I’m almost out :X
any flavoured tea can be made with GMO. If, for example, a farmer makes GMO Tomato, watermelon, cantaloupe, sweet potato etc, and then end up in your tea, you kinda have GMO tea. not the tea itself, but the stuff in the blend.
@Moraiwe – No I think I missed that one!
@Nxtdoor – ok thanks for the info. ;)
Hey, I’ve seen that store too! My coworker said they have tea, but I haven’t gone in to check it out. Guess I’ll have to take a look!
