Additional notes: Can finally post a note after a day of 404 errors. This is the saddest sipdown. It was one of my favorite traveling teabox finds of all time because personally I would never go out of my way to buy a tomato tea ( I hate tomatoes like Mastress Alita hates bananas but apparently not quite to that level, because I tried this), but I’m totally fine with finding odd blends in a teabox that I might not usually reach for. I got these few teaspoons to last quite a while! This was fantastic every time I steeped it up. Maybe it’s the smaller last dregs of the pouch that made a difference but this was so wonderfully flavorful and pizza pizza pizza. I didn’t want this tea to last past this summer, so into the steeping basket it went. I’m glad it was enjoyable to the last drop. A perfect blend I would love to see again!

My banana aversion is at unreasonable levels (I retch if someone else eats one in front of me, so tasting anything banana — even that “fake” banana used in candy, is right out). I’m not like that with any other food though, and there are plenty others I don’t like…
I think a dislike of tomato is more common (or at least I know more people who dislike it). The only thing I can’t handle with tomatos is tomato sauce because I have a “mushy texture” problem (so it isn’t the taste, but the texture of the sauce sets off my gag reflex… that is the case with me and lots of foods). I know I had one tea once that was a mix of dried tomato, cucumber, and fruits, and it was wonderful! (Still miss that tea) so I bet I’d like this! I actually cook my ramen in various teas (cause the flavor packets that come with have MSG, one of my migraine triggers) and this sounds like it would make a delightful ramen broth…
Weird blend, but I would try that for sure!
