Banana Chocolate Crepe from TeaGschwendner

Scott B drank Banana Chocolate Crepe by TeaGschwendner

Had this 18 months or more ago. Banana and chocolate-what could go wrong? Not too much, except that I got tired of this before I finished. You can taste everything here-the tea, the banana, and the chocolate. It was good. Better with sugar, but usually drank it without. The ingredients tasted properly balanced. I used this as a breakfast tea before I started going with assams and breakfast blends. It was kinda hard for me to drink it at any other time of day. I suppose it could be tried for dessert, but it just didn’t have that feel to me.

Anyhow, as I said, I enjoyed it, but I just got tired of it. I’d have it again some day, but I am not buying 100 grams of it. Have never forgiven TG for eliminating their 50 gram bags.

I agree, that is one reason I am hesitant to order more things form them, they need smaller bags!

They need to vacuum seal their bags too-they are the only place I’ve ever ordered from that doesn’t.

Bio

Started drinking tea for health benefits maybe 5 years ago-exclusively bagged tea. Usually went for various Celestial Seasonings type of stuff. I bought a tea infuser at a gourmet shop once and then I realized there was almost no loose tea available. Eventually tiring of bags, I started ordering loose tea online and I have never gone back. Initially, I was exploring all the wild and exotic flavor combinations, but now I mostly drink straight teas. I still enjoy blended teas-but prefer those without “flavoring”. Hope to learn here and find some new teas I might not otherwise find. Am a vegan, so “milk” generally means “soymilk” to me. If it’s almond, rice, or coconut, I will mention that fact.

I am new here, and new to reviewing tea. Many of my initial reviews will be from memory and may not be very detailed at all. I hope to write more informative reviews on current and future teas.

I won’t let external factors affect my rating of the tea-such as slow shipping, too expensive, etc. I’ll mention any customer service problems in my reviews. I also won’t let my mistakes in not following the seller’s recommended parameters affect a rating. I can’t believe people who say “I forgot about it and oversteeped it” and then give it a rating. If I brew outside the parameters, I will wait until I brew it right before I give it a rating.

TEMPORARY RATING SYSTEM- Don’t hold me to these numbers and descriptions-like George Bluth, I like to tweak.

90+ It’s awesome, right?? I’ll probably try to keep it on hand.

80-89 – I really like this and will buy it again at some point, but there are so many teas to try!

70-79 – This is a pretty good tea and I may buy it again based on my mood, what tea store I am buying from, and what kind of deal I can get.

60-69 – This is okay. I finished the bag. I would drink it again if offered, but would not buy it again.

40-59 – IF I finished the bag, I recall this tea thinking “Why in the hell did I finish the bag?”

1-39 – Did not finish the bag. Maybe not even the cup. Tea was given away or discarded.
