Banana Peach Green

Another sample from LiberTEAS! Yum!

This one smells oddly familiar to me; I wonder if it’s another 52teas blend that I’m thinking of? I can’t place it though. It’s a good sort of familiar though! It does smell banana-y/peachy.

I steeped this one for a conservative 2 minutes, and it perhaps could have used a bit more to add a bit of strength, but the plus side is that I’m rewarded with zero astringency! And the flavours are still there. I can taste a bit of seaweedy green tea, and then a delicious peachy flavour comes out, with creamy banana lurking in the background. I feel like the peach flavour isn’t quite as tasty as I would have liked – it tastes almost like a slightly underripe peach where the flavour isn’t fully developed, instead of a juicy, ripe, dripping peach. Still tasty though. A bit of sugar would perhaps make the flavours come out more, but I am still determined to avoid that!

I had written off most flavoured green teas because I wasn’t enjoying them, but this one is good. I think it’s partially because for whatever reason, I’m not always a big fan of citrus mixed with green tea, and DavidsTea put out what seemed like quite a number of those recently, none of which I particularly cared for.

I’m looking forward to additional infusions of this one… there’s a big chunk of presumably peach in my infuser, and I’m hoping that a bit of sitting wet will help the flavour to come out in the second cup. I’m contemplating cold-brewing the rest of my sample of this one, as I think it would do well…

A green tea with banana and peaches, what will they think of next. This is a sencha that even I can like. Im not a fan of plain sencha but I love this one. I can really taste the banana and the peach is underlying in the background.

I ordered this tea at the same time I ordered the Lemon Drop Cooler because Frank suggested it (since I do love the chocolate banana tea so much). This tea is awesome!

It really does taste like a smoothie in tea form. And as good as it is as a hot tea, it’s even better iced!

I think I’m going to go over to 52 Teas now so that I can buy the last package of this before someone gets any wise ideas.

I’ve actually backlogged this on the same day!

Oh, Frank!! I’m so excited that this tea is included in the sampler!! I love bananas and peaches, and have been eyeing this one really hard!

I’m loving this one!! It’s full-on banana madness, with a side party of peach, and there’s still green tea, and it’s delicious. I bet it’d be awesome iced in the summer; I’m really enjoying it hot!

Second steep: 5 min, much more peach, and the same banana rungs taste. Yum!!!

My super-extra-humongeous order from the Memorial day sale arrived Saturday! I got this tea, 5 other tins and one pouch. Reviews to come shortly. I’m impressed at how fast these came. I was expecting to wait longer because of the turnout for the sale, so thank you Frank and 52teas staff!!! I’m so excited to have my new teas! I was nearly out of Chai with chocolate it was so consistently needed by my tummy:)

The leaves of this tea look beautiful! Dried banana circles and large pieces of peach with long dark green leaves. This tea has a great banana taste, I had to hunt a little for the peach flavor, but it was present. Even the green tea came through. This has a bit of a juice flavor to it, it is quite delicious. Just a note that I did try it iced first:) I think it would be great hot as well!

I taste the banana and I taste the peach. It was alright for me. A little syrupy in taste but I gave more points for accuracy and the suspicion that it probably makes a killer iced tea.

I was THRILLED when I opened this up for the tea of the day! I have been eyeing this tea on the website and am so glad I got to “sample” it! I love it! Nice sweet green tea… can taste the banana and peach but again neither flavor overpowering.

Bananas and peaches?
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered this particular flavor combination in a tea, although I’m sure Jamba Juice has a smoothie or two with both fruits in it. Thanks to the sample that Liberteas sent, I’ll be trying this tea out, iced.

It smells wonderful, nice and fruity.

Yum! The banana really pops in this tea. The peach isn’t as strong, but I know it’s there because of the sweetness that lingers on the tongue. It’s another great summer blend from 52teas.

This deceptively simple blend is surprisingly yummy!

Mildy fruity and faintly candy-esque. And the chinese green sencha really does taste buttery! Very smooth and almost creamy in the aftertaste.

I sense banana taffy and peach jolly ranchers—but it’s not cloying at all—just a sweetness that serves to enhance the “softness” of the green tea.

Pretty enjoyable. I like it. :)

Finished this one up today (I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed it before!) and I know I’m going to miss this one. The banana and peach work perfectly together and they don’t taste at all artificial. And then the smooth green tea base just brings it all together!

I am building experience with green teas! Due to a chaotic morning, I was not in top tasting form and didn’t even drink half my cup. This is fruity, but I couldn’t really taste the banana. Not bad, but I’ll have to give it another shot sometime when I’m more relaxed. :)

This makes an awesome iced tea, especially with a little bit of lehua honey. Shared a bunch with some friends today and got rave reviews. The banana and peach flavors really come through. This is one of the teas that I plan to always have on hand.

I think this is fantastic. Green is good, but the banana really shines through. Peach is subtle, but given the choice, I’d opt for more banana anyway. I just ordered more, and this bag was just opened. Great hot or iced, but I think the fruits come out more as the tea cools. Excellent with honey or without.

This is a great tea, hot or iced, sweet or unsweet. Right now I am drinking it hot, unsweet and it is doing the trick, this Saturday morning. Glad they reblended it at 52teas.com and I was able to snatch up a couple of pouches. One of my favorite green teas ever!
