Copabanana

coconut! apple! banana!
that’s what this tea shouts as you sip, in that order specifically.
so tasty hot, can’t wait to try it iced with just a touch of agave!
yummmm

Got this as a sample, would definitely never order it. Absolutely did not enjoy it. Just bland. For all the fruit that is in there you would think it would taste better. It might be a good enhancement for a plain rooibos though, or something.

Hm. This is Banana Nut Bread with a twist. I didn’t really care for the Banana Nut Bread (still have some in my sample bag). I wish DT would send some different kinds of herbals with their sampler kits (though I did skip the winter one).
This is more enjoyable than the BNB (too lazy to type it out again), but I don’t think I’d go out of my way to purchase it. It’s like BNB toned down with some coconut thrown in as well as a mix of some juicier fruits. Kinda weird, but not bad.

Very strong banana flavour, a little bit of coconut. Tastes similar to pina colada if you prepare it iced with milk and agave.

YUM YUM YUM

I have to say normally i dont like banana teas but this is different, if i close my eyes right now i can 8imagine myself on a beach somehwere, nice….

i really like this tea banana coconut strawberry, apple yummmm

Received a sample of this with a DavidsTea order. It was pretty “meh.” Certainly not bad, but it didn’t really leave much of an impression on me. Not too much to say about it – it tasted kind of like banana chips (you know, the dehydrated ones), but it was mildly flavored.

I tried it the same day as the similarly composed Mudslide from Teopia/Teavana. Mudslide was the clear winner. It’s a rooibos whereas (I think?) this one is just a fruit infusion, but the flavors are amped up a bit. (But I might be biased, seeing as I love rooibos.)

I’m actually sipping on this tea at this very moment, I got this tea as a to-go cup because I wasn’t quite sure if I should buy this in bulk.
It’s not that bad really, but not something I would buy in probably fifty-a hundred grams.
It’s banana-y that’s for sure, and you can taste the fruitiness and coconut in it. I’m drinking this iced with a bit of agave and it’s nice and sweet, doesn’t taste watered down. The more I drink this, the more fonder I become with it’s flavour. It’s yummy, but not a must-have for me. Maybe when I’m feeling it, I might pick this up in twenty-five to fifty grams.

So one thing you should know, I absolutely HATE anything banana or coconut flavoured (I eat the real stuff), but I got this as a sample and I figured I would as least try it. To say the least, it is actually not too bad; I mean I wouldn’t go out and buy it, but it could be worse. When I first opened the package, you can smell an overwhelming scent of banana (similar to what reminded me of banana bread) – even through a stuffed nose. I don’t know if it’s my cold messing with my senses but it tastes like strawberry banana with a hint of coconut; I can’t taste any cocoa. All in all it’s an ok drink. I have two samples so I might try the next one iced.

This tea smells great, and I have to admit I had high hopes for it, even though I don’t love bananas. After drinking it, I can honestly say I wish it had tasted of banana at least, as mine really tasted like water. I put a larger amt in than recommended, and let it steep for a good 10 min. Expensive water was the end result. Not a winner for me. Maybe I’ll eat the rest of my bag as a trail mix.

I don’t like banana flavoured stuff. I even go out of my way to pick smoothies that don’t have any banana. I like fresh bananas and banana chips, just not banana flavour. So, I didn’t have high hopes for this one.

I opened the bag and all I smelled was banana. Yikes! But, I like all the other ingredients so I figured I might as well give it a try. I’ve never actually had a tisane before so I didn’t know how to accurately measure all this chunky stuff. Oh well, I wanted something before bed so this was it.

I’m pleasantly surprised. It has a nice fruitiness to it. I don’t have the words to describe what I’m tasting, but I like it. I put a small dab of honey; I probably could have forgone that. The more I drink it, the more I like it. I’m not sure I would necessarily buy it again, but I’m happy that I tried it.

This was the underdog for my tea-tasting party for the fall DT teas. No one expected it to be good. " Another banana herbal? The summer collection one was bad enough, thank you very much!"

Bias – I love banana, and I enjoy it in teas.

First impressions – Visually, it’s one of my favorites. The smell of this one is really nice, and minimally “artificial banana”. Once steeped, it retains its smell, but it becomes more subtle and natural.

Flavor – I really enjoy it. It replaced The Glow as my evening herbal. Once it started getting really cold in the evenings, I transitioned this tea by blending it 50/50 with Exotica, and it’s awesome.

Loveability – It’s the only fall tea that I bought in large quantity. I won’t be heart-broken when I run out, but I’m definately happy I have this in my cupboard for the winter.

I recieved a sample of this with my last order, and decided to give it a try tonight. I used the whole packet for my cup, because the pieces were big and I didn’t want to leave anything out. I also read that many people found it too weak, so I figured it couldn’t hurt.

Dry, the tea smells nice, definitely banana-y, and has lots of recognizable fruity bits. Steeped, the smell of banana is the most pronounced. My boyfriend says that it smells like Moon Mist ice cream. Hmm…. Well, it tastes good, but not as different as I was hoping. I find it reminds me a lot of Banana Daquiri, and it isn’t quite as strong as I’d like (I left the tea in while I drank it).

Overall, I’ll finish the cup but it isn’t something I would buy more of.

bananas in tea? not my favourite. as fruit flavoured water, well, it just is.

I really love the banana taste. yay banana teas! if you like banana teas then omg buy this now! (i sound like i was sponsored but im not)

Smells like real banana and I love it! I got this as a sample from David’s Tea and mixed it with some sencha (As I do with all the herbal teas I get).

It is quite potent, even when mixed with sencha. You can really taste the banana. It tastes like a natural banana, not artifical. I’m a fan!

Wow. I’m not usually one for herbals but this was surprisingly…

Cutting right to the chase, this smells amazing. Myself and mum tried this tea as a sample when we went for Bollywood Chai, and while it was delicious, we both agreed it was missing something. Stroke of genius later – as a latte this tea tastes, no joke, like banana cream pie. Now I’ve tried the Banana Dream Pie tea as well, it tasted artifical and kinda.. bland. This one is like someone shoved a slice of banana cream pie in a blender, liquified it, and put it in a cup. Perfect perfect perfect.

Now…to see if I can successfully get a second steep out of this cup…

All I tasted in this was orange and banana. And the orange notes were VERY strong. The smell was delicious though! But I don’t think I’m gonna get anymore of this. Thankfully, I only picked up a sample to try out.

A little sample pack of this on my counter has been mercilessly taunting me all weekend. I am not very partial to anything banana related, except for maybe banana bread (and I have to be in a very specific mood for that) I’m not even sure WHY I’m going to even try this instead of just saving it for a swap… maybe I’m hoping this tea will prove me and my taste buds wrong. Hmmph. Let’s see.

Out of the pouch, WOW. So much potent banana smell, mixed with some other intangible tropical aromas. I’m feeling veeeeeeery hesitant about this….

First sip- um, bleeeegh. Again, overwhelmingly, straight up banana. It literally tastes like I just ate the actual fruit. There are some other milder notes of other tropical flavors in here, but they all take the backseat. If a day ever arrives where I suddenly want to drink banana in liquid form, I’ll know which tea to turn to. In the meantime, this one is definitely NOT for me.

Went down to David’s to check out the new spring line. Had to rein myself in before just going ahead and buying all the new shiny things! Got a cup of Copabanana since it is the only non-caffeinated one of the new bunch. I was a little wary because I’m not much of a banana flavour person, but this blend is absolutely delicious. The DT person told me to leave the bag in and she was right, the flavour has just been improving. I also have to say I took my first sip after 10 or so minutes and it was fantastic, so maybe don’t be too eager!

Just stopped at David’s tea today, Copabanana was the free-to-taste tea. I loved it! It has a strong taste of coconut and dried bananas. Delicious!
