From DAVIDsTEA

Is there a more perfect dessert than a banana split? From the drizzle of chocolate sauce to the signature sliced banana, it’s three scoops of nostalgic greatness. So, what genius invented this malt shop classic? It wasn’t a restaurateur or even a chef – it was dreamed up in 1904 by David Evans Strickler, a 23-year old apprentice pharmacist in Pennsylvania. And with chocolate, banana and sweet meringue, this rich and creamy treat brings the taste of his soda fountain treat right to your tea cup. Now you can have sundae…every day.

Ingredients: Green rooibos, cocoa nibs, rock sugar, banana chips, calendula, meringue powder, natural and artificial flavouring.

Price: $7.50

2021 Sipdown 105/365!
(DavidsTea 194)

Brewed a pitcher pack of this tea up and iced it a while back – it’s definitely a departure from standard fruity iced teas, but also kind of good. Very desserty – creamy chocolatey banana. Although I liked the flavour, I found it difficult to get through, probably because I didn’t feel like it quenched my thirst the same as fruity, somewhat tart iced teas do. I think it might do better as an iced latte, where thirst-quenching is less the goal than is just the consumption of a decadent beverage. I have one pitcher pack of this remaining; may try it that way next year, if I remember.

This is a yummy tea, hot or as a latte. Very creamy, with chocolatey and banana flavours to it. It’s a good sweet dessert tea – if that’s your thing.

Sample from TeainSpoons. Thank you!

Chocolate teas are tricky to get right. Banana teas are also tricky to get right. So, I wasn’t going into this with very high expectations. To my surprise, this is quite good. It has a light, chocolate-banana flavor. There is a bit of a creaminess to it as well, so I understand why they picked the name they did. The rooibos isn’t very noticeable at all, which is a positive thing for me, since I tend not to enjoy rooibos. I would be tempted to make this as a latte, but I imagine it would require a lot of leaf.

This tastes very much like a banana dipped in chocolate. Considering the fact that I don’t like the taste of bananas, I was surprised by the flavours which complimented each other- mainly the banana and chocolate.

There must be something wrong with me because this tea has great reviews. I had high expectations because I love bananas but I did not like this drink. Too sweet and I couldn’t really taste the bananas.

Definitely a favourite! It is very much a dessert tea, so perfect for kids or tea lovers with a sweet tooth. It was one of my first purchases, and I instantly loved it. I love the hints of calendula, which aren’t completely masked my the sweet, chocolaty, banana goodness that is the rest of the tea. Although delicious, this tea isn’t particularly fancy or refined, so maybe don’t use it to try to impress your mother-in-law :). As well, though the tea is delicious, the after-taste isn’t overly pleasant.

Good easy sipping…creamy with chocolate, the banana is strong and it is great hot and cold. Too bad it’s limited edition :( but I’m hoping banana nut bread will be just as good

There are entirely more ingredients in this blend than I prefer. But it’s darn tasty. Creamy chocolate and banana, mmm. Sipdown!

Hello gorgeous!

Opened this one tonight and – my stars – I can taste banana. Mmmmm. Sweet, creamy banana! And, at the end of the sip, just when you least expect it – CHOCOLATE.

I need more of this…
