Bananas Foster from 52teas
90

I got this tea in a swap from Madeline Alyce – thank you!

This might be more of a dessert tea than a breakfast tea, but I was pretty keen to try it out anyway. I did add soymilk to mine as well. I am really tired and didn’t sleep much last night for some reason, I might need to go back to bed…

I do like this one a lot but maybe I’m just a fan of banana flavored things. I think I used about 1 tsb of tea in a 16 oz pot and then steeped it for a little over 4 minutes. To me, the flavors are good. I’m picking up on banana, and a bit of rum. The soymilk gives it that creamy, almost dessert like quality and the black tea base is fairly smooth and mild. I see this is sold out already, but if Frank ever re-blended it I think I would pick some up! It also smells incredible.

I did try 1/2 a cup with sugar and 1/2 cup without. It is good both ways but the sugar makes it way more dessert like.

Thanks for the sample, Madeline!

I have a weird thought that dipping a peanut butter sandwich (or cookie) would be really good with this.

Yes to the cookie! I’m not sure about peanut butter.

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
