drank Banana Nut Bread by DAVIDsTEA
513 tasting notes

Taken to work today in my curve mug. I used two tsp of leaf for about 12 oz of water, and people aren’t kidding when they say this is a heavy tea. I will absolutely be getting more, but it’s just something to keep in mind.

I let it steep for ten minutes, and am terrified to learn of the state of my gravity steeper when i get home. I knew I was in for it when I tipped the steeper over the garbage can to find that the banana sludge just wouldn’t budge. Not having time to sort it out, I tossed it in the sink, filled it with hot water, and left for work.

But this tea is spot on. There is lots of sweet, baked banana up front with the slight dryness of walnuts, and it miraculously does not need additions. That said, i bet it would be a killer latte, or just taste even more baked goody with some milk. I’ll be getting more of this next time i’m at Dt! I’ve been having a hard time with tea in general lately, so it’s really exciting to find a blend I really like.

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
