From Bird & Blend Tea Co.

Monkey Chops is an affectionate title, only to be bestowed upon the cheeky and the zany. Fitting, as this tea is Bananas… B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Some of our crazy blends (banana!) split the panel but this one has been a resounding hit all-round! Smooth, creamy and totally bananary..it’s simply the chops!

Ingredients: Ceylon black tea, freeze-dried banana, desiccated coconut, calendula petals, sunflower petals, vanilla pieces, flavouring

Put about 3 tsps of this into milk and had it sit for hours and then I added boba to it. On the plus side, this is Amy as sweet as the last one. On the negative side, I don’t taste much banana or really any of the tea…so I need to keep experimenting.

Love this tea! I’ve tried to steep tea in milk a couple of times and it never seems to work for me… :(

Sometimes I do it on the stove and that seems to work better than cold brewing with milk

I’ve had a busy week and can finally sit down and write a tasting note! I’ve had this one for a while and decided it was time to give it a try. This is a nicely bold cup of tea with a hint of banana. I find that the banana comes out at the end of the sip. It’s not artificial tasting, but reminds me of a pulpy, perhaps overripe banana. This particular cup is more astringent than I think it typically would be. I happened to forget about it and steeped it a minute longer than I should have. I think that this cup would take milk and sugar very well, though. Likely will try it that way next time! There are other teas from Bluebird that I like more, but I am happy to have given this one a try. Thank you KittyLovesTea for a sample!
