Sipdown! (64)
This was an old subscription tea, from sometime in 2019.
I’ve actually never had a banoffee pie, which is something I should really fix… I love bananas and toffee, so I’m sure I would adore it!
Anyway, this has a very Runt-y banana flavor to me, which isn’t the worst thing, but worth noting. I also get a subtle butter rum sort of note that melds fairly seamlessly with the slightly caramel-y rooibos base.
As good as this one sounds, it’s just okay for me. And I think it’s the combination of the candylike banana with the not-enough buttery toffee. But this tea is also older, so it’s possible it’s lot a bit of its pizzazz over time.
Thankful to not love it though, since it’s not a permanent blend and isn’t available now!
Flavors: Banana, Butterscotch, Candy, Caramel, Rooibos, Rum, Sweet, Toffee, Wood

Banoffee pie is one of our favourites!
Yep, it went off the “tea board” last year. Actually, I really liked it; but I understand it isn’t a thing for everyone.
Strange to me you think the banana tastes like Runts. I cannot stand those, the smell alone makes me feel ill. Yet I loved this tea.
derk Just after I sent you the package… I found out I had a little pouch with few last grams I wanted to send you. Maybe next time… :D
Martin, if you happen to sip it down before we swap again, that’s quite alright. Thanks for the sentiment :)
@derk – It is odd, and I love the banana flavor in some of their other teas, like Monkey Chops. Maybe it was the banana combined with something else…? (shrugs)
