Decided to work on sipping down this oldish tea.
I don’t knowwwww how I feel about this.
On one hand it’s a pretty good herbal option to drink at night – here it is 11:30 and i’ve just finished it…
but on the other hand it’s gotta have Stevia in it, it’s leaving a super weird taste in my mouth.
I also feel that they would have had better luck creating a “banana bread” tea if they’d used some kind of bready, malty black tea as a base, rather than a bunch of random fruity things.
On top of that, i wish I could photograph my steeper for you because it’s straight up nastayyy…. it looks like someone threw up in it. Mushy chunks of who knows what.
Sorry to be gross, but it was very offputting.
So, to sum up…this isn’t terrible, but i sure wouldn’t buy it today. and I’m questioning how I’m going to polish off the rest of the bag asap. Cold brew?? hmmmmm.

I have not tried anything from RiverTea thus far!
just plain guayasa? never had it… what’s that do to the taste?
Guayusa tastes like rainforest to me haha, so I like it on it’s own, but it’s strong so I usually mix it up and add other teas. Tonight I had it with creamy rhubarb herbal.
I found this was more bearable with some milk. I didn’t like it at first but it grew on me. However, I definitely understand the gross steeper because I remember how mine looked when I brewed it.
Have you tried Happy Banana from RiverTea? Truly delightful.
I did enjoy mixing this one with guayusa though.
