Banana Pancakes

Hear, hear!

Ha there aren’t any foods I dislike due to texture, but I know that’s a common complaint. It’s amusing for me to hear this perspective!

My problem with foods is typically always texture rather than taste (like, I can eat a super crisp apple, or dried apples, but loathe apple sauce). In the case of bananas, though, I have full-on aversion. Can’t stand anything with bananas (regardless of texture) or even artificial banana flavorings.

That’s one of my all-time favorites!

It’s so good!

yep :(

(cries on Sil’s shoulder)

And now you know why I sold out all the Foggy Coconut like a tyrant the second it finally reappeared. * shifty eyes *

Is this why we all love 52Teas so much? The blends are rare and tough to grab! If there was overstock… maybe there would be less love for these blends (I will tell myself that anyway.)

I’m sorry that I don’t have the room to keep all the teas in stock but at the same time, I’m quite humbled and appreciative to know that there are teas that people love and even more so that some of my originals are now getting that kind of appreciation too. :)

I loved this one!

@Anne – The next permanent tea should be a banana one! ;)

I will announce another permanent tea with the holiday box this year – right now, it’s somewhere between a banana one or the foggy coconut.

Banana banana banana banana banana banana banana….did I mention? Banana? :)

Ooh, that’s exciting! I would vote for banana, but the Foggy Coconut is very tasty too!

You guys are all against me. :-P #TeamFoggyCoconut

@ Alita – It’s a conspiraTEA!

doing best telenovella impression of Valentina from RuPaul’s Drag Race GASP! I knew it!

Team Foggy!

i think there should be both a permanent blergamot tea AND a permanent banana tea…but start with banana haha

@Sil – I need to take it in steps, right now it’s difficult enough for me to keep up with the four teas that are in the permanent collection! I am thinking that I will do one per year or perhaps one every two years – until I get to 9. 9 is the magical number where D’s teas will stop. 9 is the number there will be and the number there will be is 9. Eight is too few and 10 is too many. 9 is the number there must be. (Help, I have been possessed by Mojo Jojo!)

@anne haha i hear you on that. We appreciate all that you do – would rather see you take it easy than burn out and quit alltogether! there are always monthly reblends :)

I still need to try this one from my 52teas order! And the Banana & Cream that you so graciously sent!

So many teas, so little time… #firstworldproblems

I “think” I send you a sample of this one too so you don’t have to open up your 52teas order bag of this. ^^ and yes, yes, yes, So many teas, so little time, and my bladder can only take so much in a day. #firstworldproblems :P

sent*

I should send it back to you, so you have more to enjoy! ❤

You’re such a sweetheart to even think that. <3

If and when they get the “large” of this in, I’ll grab me a bag. Please let me know how you like their subscription in the future!

Unfortunately, I believe this was only reblended for the 12 Teas of Christmas box, so it’s unlikely to be available again, at least for a while. Which is why it’s important that I send your sample back! ;)

52teas only has a few teas (I think she’s up to 4 now?) that are always available. All other teas are limited release. Luckily one of the permanent teas is a pancake one, so hopefully you like that one too!

I will try that one soon then :D. Thank you for the info <3

I loved this tea!

Todd, it definitely is tasty!

I really dislike banana runts or any candy where there’s that sickly sweet artificial banana flavor . . . which is why it really surprised me the first time I tried one of Frank’s banana teas, I thought it was going to taste like the artificially flavored banana candy. Since that first taste – banana has become one of my favorite flavors for tea.

And yes, this is one is one that was voted on. :)

Mmmmmmm bananas

I love that Banana is such a strong staple for 52Teas ^^ If you ever decide to add another permanent tea to the collection, banana would be such a great route to go.

I agree with Roswell – even if it was a rotating blend idea like the vanilla. Your banana teas are excellent and well-loved, and having one always around that new (and old) tea drinkers can pop into their cart is probably a good idea.

Agreed, HOWEVER, please do not sacrifice the vanilla teas from the roster, any of the vanilla teas.

Make me your pancakes using the maple houjicha and I’m down! :-P

drool I’ll have to save a bit of that for your next visit!

I just ordered this and a few of their teas. First time order there. :D

Oh, nice Kawaii! I highly recommend their shop, since they do a different small-batch blend every week, whenever you drop by there is always new stuff to try out, the ingredients are always quite fresh, and the blends really fun.

Mastress Alita, :D and do you recommend their subscription?

I also ordered from them for the first time today. I have tried some of their teas before, and they are magical.

Todd :D cool, I look forward to some of your reviews when you get your package.

@Kawaii433: I don’t do a subscription, because they have lots of banana blends, and that is my Demon Food, so it wouldn’t really work for me. I’m sure it is an excellent option for a lot of folks, though! I order from their site every so often where I can pick and choose blends and typically really enjoy what I’ve tried. Foggy Coconut, a coconut-flavored Earl Grey, has been one of my favorite teas ever.

Mastress Alita kk :) and lol @Demon food ^^. I have a few demon foods myself hehe.

I think you are in the minority on here thinking that a banana tea sounds disgusting lol. I’m glad that this one surprised you though and ended up being enjoyable.

Oh, banana is my Demon Food, I won’t touch anything banana, tea or otherwise. Everything thinks I’m crazy because I can drink hibiscus and licorice root no problem, but banana? Noooooooooooooooooooooo… I wouldn’t even be able to smell it without it setting off my gag reflex. A banana peel in a breakroom trash is enough to do it for me. :-(

I have a coworker exactly like that. I felt horribly guilty ever bringing a banana to work, and when I sat near her, I made very sure to eat it far away.

I only ever worried about burning popcorn in the break room or microwaving fish, lol!

Hahaha, someone burnt popcorn here last week and we were smelling it all day. The break room is very close to where I catalog books, too…

I do have a “mushy foods” texture issue, but my aversion to banana is even stronger than that (even though it does have that texture I can’t handle). The aversion is so strong I can’t even watch someone else eat one or I get queasy. A wiff of the scent sets me off. If one slice is if a fruit smoothie with 18 other fruits, I’d pick out the taste and gag. I won’t eat any loaf of bread in the breakroom without sending someone else in to poison test for me: “Is it banana, zuccini, or pumpkin?” And if they can’t tell me 100% for certain, I won’t touch it (even though I love zuccini and pumpkin bread). I have just as big of a problem with artificial/candy banana flavor as the real thing. I have no idea why I have this problem or where/when it started… but I tend to think everyone simply has that one food for them. It’s just “that food” for me.

Oh yes, tomato is exactly that food for me. I can’t smell it, look at it, nope. It was always like that. Though I can tolerate unchunky sauce (which probably barely has tomato in it anyway.)

Oh and ketchup, I love ketchup but again, it’s more like the smell/texture thing.

@Mastress Alita, there is a radio host I used to listen to that has the same aversion to banana. He is also the producer of the show he hosts and makes others eat bananas in the hall if they had one.

@VariaTEA and @Kittenna: I’m surprised to hear I’m not the only one out there, I’ve always felt rather unusual!

@tea-sipper: That makes me think of Link from the popular YouTube series Good Mythical Morning! He eats some of the worst foodstuffs across the globe for that show, yet his real nemesis his tomato! (Like, he’ll be more bothered that there is tomato on his testical-meat burger and pick those off than the fact this his burger is quite literally made out of animal genitals, bwahahaha)

I wish we could just “like” posts here!

@TreeGal – I know what you mean!

@Mastress Alita – I’m equally surprised to hear of another person with this sort of strong banana aversion!

My former step dad was pretty close to the same with bananas – I think it originally stemmed from a texture thing for him, and over time just became an extreme aversion to nearly anything banana. Except, he’s usually fine with stuff that’s more like a “banana candy” flavour instead of natural banana.

(stranger hugs)

No, absolutely no coconut.

@derk, thank you :)
