Snow Bunny. What a pleasant name!

I was expecting a Banana Nut Bread Taste, and it was what it taste like!
The flavor are like 2/3 banana 1/3 nut, which I do like.
But… I was expecting some black tea taste through it.

Unfortunately the black tea doesn’t have a big place in mouth.
However, you can’t say that this tea taste horrible.
It taste really good :)

I’ve had this a few times but I guess I haven’t logged it yet. Anyways, here’s to a cup of snow bunny in the morning!
I got this tea in the winter collection and I think its my favourite, aside from alpine punch.
I can taste the nuts and the banana and it gives a pleasant taste of banana bread or something similar. The downfall of this tea is the black tea – I really wish the flavour of the black tea would come out more, but it falls short next to the nutty taste.
I think the aroma of this tea is half of it too.
Anyways, this was a lovely tea to enjoy during the winter season, and made a perfect treat paired with my homemade banana muffins, but aside from that I don’t think I will be purchasing this tea.

I’m really undecided on this tea so far. I can’t say that the smell from my Winter sampler pouch is very appetizing to me… I get a bit of a rancid nut smell to it?

I grew up drinking black teas (again British parents), and always drank my tea with some milk in it – well as this one was steeping i could very definitely smell the bitter smell of the black tea (to me anyways) so I immediately decided I’d have to try this one with a splash of milk (and went for a small squirt of agave syrup as well).

So I sit down to my first sip… I can taste the hint of banana in it and maybe a bit of the nut (not smelling the rancid nut anymore TG!). But my overall impression so far? Its really not one I see myself wanting to sit down and relax with. I’ll finish my cup ‘o tea and after that? Well, I will be brewing a pot in the next little bit for the kids to try – but I don’t see myself rushing out to buy more of this anytime soon.

For a nutty tea, this one was acctually pretty good! I haven’t had it in a while but I hope to soon (I’ve just been so busy trying all of the new ones :p). I really like bananas and I find them nicely in this tea. The pairing of the banana and the walnut is really calming. This is a really nice tea to have on a cold day in the winter…I hope they bring it back.

I clearly do not like walnuts in my tea (lesson learned)

More banana, David? Really? Can’t we have some new fruits for a change? I promise there’s a world of raspberry and blueberry and so many other amazing flavours out there! And this one wasn’t even a great banana. Sorry David, wasn’t sold on this one. The notes didn’t blend well for me at all, and it left me with a cup of rotten nuts. Which left me saying “Nuts”!

You taste like walnut-banana bread… Delicious.

Ehhhh… I wanted to like this tea. Everything about the reviews on steepster had me convinced this was going to be like liquid banana nut bread, and I love me some banana nut bread. It just wasn’t there for me. There was hardly any banana to it. It was like a cup of straight up walnut tea with a touch of a floral note. I also noticed that there are hardly any banana pieces in my bag! The first cup I tried was too bitter but there was a discernible banana taste to it. This has since vanished. I want to give this tea a chance, but I’m just not feeling it. I’ve been reducing the steeping time to try and get rid of the bitter nuttiness but to no avail. Even at 4 minutes this tea is almost unbearable for me. I can only drink this tea lukewarm and with added honey, but this still doesn’t warrant a re-buy. I will probably just use it in lattes in the hopes that I can salvage the remaining 35g or so.
Sadly, not a fan of this tea.

Nice tea. The flavour isn’t too strong, but it’s warm and smooth.

I simply adore this tea. Find it goes really well with soy milk.

I’d say the banana in this is what really makes it memorable, tasting about as close to banana bread as one could get without the carbs! I would recommend using more rather than less tea when steeping this, as it is not a strong flavour and the second steep around, it loses a lot of its flavour. That being said, it is a fantastic tea overall :)

Not bad.. can’t say I crave it though.

Not quite sure how I feel about this guy. Definitely does not taste like banana bread to me though. Super sweet overwhelming aroma, taste pretty much how it smells. I haven’t tried it with milk yet.

I received this as a sample with my order. The smell of the dry mix was mostly banana to me with some walnut. Steeped, it reminded me very much of banana nut bread. It had a good base of black tea and I can drink this almost any time. I don’t know if I would purchase this one, but am glad I got to experience it.

Walnuts in tea? What a terrible idea. “Let’s steep a super bitter nut and see what happens!” you can imagine them saying. Guess what! It makes bitter tea! No amount of banana pieces or coconut shavings can save this tea from tasting like a walnut.

Tastes like play-doh(…not that i would know what that tastes like or anything.) Definitely not for me. Too nutty.

the most nutty tea I’ve ever drank.
I really have not tasted any banana bread like other tasters have it’s overwhelmingly straight walnut to me.
The bitterness of the nut doesn’t come through too strongly.
Nice and warming but seems more of a mid-day tea then a morning energy boost tea.
Also quite soothing.
Wonder if I would enjoy it sweetened but am simply not in love with it enough to try and many other teas beckon.

If you love nuts and find Forever Nuts too light and wish it was strong and caffeinated without being sweet this tea is made for you.

I was a bit disappointed by my first few cups of this tea. It was not banana bread. But then I realized what my problem was: not enough bits of banana and nuts were going into my cup. Problem solved. Not really following the bunny connection though…

I got this one as a sample with an online order that I placed. I must admit, to me, this tea isn’t that memorable. I wanted to really love it, but I didn’t really get the love feeling from this one.
For me, all the flavours kinda just mixed together and there really wasn’t anything that stood out. The walnut flavour was probably the strongest that I got out of it, but even then, I dunno.
I’m wondering if maybe I’ve oversteeped it?

This was a free sample. It was kind of meh. Nice smell in the package but didn’t hold up as well as tea.

I just baught this Tea today,
I was really excited to try it out
also because it had something to do with bunnies it was a must try
sounds silly but it`s true.
Like most people say it really does have that punchy smell of nuts.
Although I find after awhile my mouth becomes rather dry, maybe my steeping time was to long… but over all I love the smell and the light taste. X3
