From Dessert by Deb

Are there any breakfasts and brunches quite as extravagant and lavishing as the ones enjoyed during the holidays?! The simple answer is no. Because when you have warm, fresh waffles laced with the spiced flavours of ginger and cloves married with the sweetness of bananas and brown sugar, you’ve got banana gingerbread waffles at your holiday brunch table and you can’t wait to tuck in!

Ingredients: Black Tea*, Natural Banana Flavour, Bananas*, Ginger*, Brown Sugar*, Cloves* Cinnamon*, Calendula Petals* ( * = certified organic)

Handcrafted in Toronto, Canada.

Steeping instructions: 2 tea spoons at 212F for 4-6 mins

Another office cuppa from Monday.

Definitely giving me gingerbread waffles, though heavier on the ginger than anything else. Also maybe not quite as molasses-y tasting as I want a gingerbread tea to be. Does have a bit of that dense, dark brown sweetness to the undertones though. I was missing banana almost entirely in my mug though, which was a little frustrating. I know enough to know that the banana pieces themselves contribute nothing to the taste, so I just wish that Deb had been a little heavier handed on the banana flavouring. Especially in a tea with this much ginger you’ve really gotta balance that out with a strong inclusion of flavouring to not have those notes just drowned out.

Sipdown! (4 | 101)

Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge (August) – “A banana tea”

So since I have the whole month to do the sipdown challenge this time, I’d like to try and get actual sipdowns for each prompt, instead of just writing a note. I’ve gone through my spreadsheet and selected the teas, so wish me luck! The only one I’m not sure about is the raspberry prompt, as the only ones I have are full 50g packages, and I already have a couple of those for other categories. So we’ll see!

Anyway, enough rambling, on to the tea!

This is not gingerbread to me. It has sweetness to it, but the ginger is quite earthy, which doesn’t bring cookies to mind. But I think Harney’s Gingerbread Festival may have ruined all other gingerbread teas for me, because that one is fucking delicious lol. Highly recommend.

I don’t get enough banana here either, it’s a bit hidden under the earthiness and ginger. It comes out a bit more at the end of the sip, but it’s still very mild.

So a miss on all counts for me, not gingerbread and not enough banana either. Just a somewhat sweet earthy ginger root and clove tea with a hint of banana. Oh well, yay sipdown! :)

Well now I’ve had to go and add H&S Gingerbread Festival to my wishlist XD.

OMG so good, I’ll have to send you some!

Only downside is it only comes in a tin of 30 sachets, or at least it did last year. Fingers crossed they’ll release a loose leaf version this holiday season…

Courtney

Ooh that would be nice to have the looseleaf version. I’ll keep an eye for sure!

This is sort of gingerbread but also way too sweet to clearly be gingerbread. I want more ginger. I want more banana. It’s clearly a Deb tea but when a lot of the teas are so similar, they lose their appeal slightly.

I think you mean “their apPEEL”!

…I’ll show myself out. :P

Drank this at the same time as Almond Cinnamon Brioche, and honestly am not sure which was which. Clearly the unique ingredients weren’t the stars that they should have been; I also wasn’t a huge fan of either. I’ll give it another try later.
