drank Banana Nut Bread by DAVIDsTEA
761 tasting notes

Mmmmm, made this as a latte the other night. I have to go back and grab a huge amount of this tea now, as that was an amazing experience! I have to make more of those! NOM NOM NOM NOM! If you haven’t had this as a latte, DO IT! (same for Gold Rush)

I used more tea for the latte, and I let it steep a long time. It did come out very milky in colour, but that is because the tea itself doesn’t brew up that dark to start. Making this a latte is kind of like the banana bread having icing on it. YUM!

I’m so happy that there are a few teas this season that I like, even though technically this is a repeat. Tip: do not use gravity steeper for this tea. Use a bag, though my perfect mug infuser seemed to clean up ok.

With the weight of this tea, that is an expensive latte. But sounds ahmazing!

It is but I am toying with getting the BF deal but getting a matcha tumbler and matcha, plus probably tea to go, and then getting the $10 thing. Or I might just not do the deal and just pay what is needed for 50g of this. See how long that lasts.

Oh right, I forgot about the DT sale. I ended up buying from Joseph Wesley, and I only allow myself on purchase for BF :/

I generally like a lot of tea. I do find I have a preference for flavored over unflavoured, but I do love a good straight tea as well.

Likes are too hard, since there are a lot. Dislikes are easier, so here they are…

Hibiscus. Blech. I can tolerate a little, depending on the brew, like Berry Good from Davids and Ruby Pie from Butiki…but in general, it’s too tart and too strong for me.

Licorice. Anything that remotely resembles licorice is out too, so that includes fennel and anise. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Florals. I’m cool with petals in the tea to make them look pretty (except rose), and I’m cool with teas like oolongs having a floral note, but strong florals can give me migraines. Rose and jasmine are the biggest offenders. This is one where it can vary on the blend, as I can handle Teavivre’s Peach Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea because there is very little jasmine actually detectable in it.

Rooibos is hit or miss. I can do some, but not others. I handle green better than red, and honeybush better than rooibos.

My ratings don’t have a particular scale or method, and may on occasion contradict themselves, but I’m honestly not fussed about that. Sometimes I don’t even rate at all.

Um, I have an extensive wishlist. It is both a list of things I want to get again, and things I want to try. If you are sending me something, and you want to know which is which, I’ll tell you via PM.

Yes, I do trades…usually on request though. See something you want to try in my cupboard? Just shoot me a message and I’ll see what I can do!

Uh, guess that’s it.
