This rich red blend starts with Rooibos, an herbal bush tea with a delicate and slightly nutty, earthy flavor. Over this gentle base, we’ve added the tropical flavors of hearty coconut and smooth, creamy banana slices. Orange peel adds a pop of zest to this sweet blend. Perfect for young ones and those sensitive to caffeine, this blend is fantastic hot or iced.

Rooibos is love. It’s so good. Its earthy yet sweet cookie notes always give me a warm hug. I’ve never had banana macaroons or the cake version of it but it sounds delicious. As I sit here above it smelling it as it steeps my anticipation grows. The aroma is full of banana, sweet banana, and sweetened milk. Oat milk. Slight almond. Steeping at five minutes reveals lots of banana notes. Mostly dried and candy bananas, like runts. The rooibos comes in after with earthy slightly milky notes. This is quite a bit weaker than I thought it would be though. Strong enough to be enjoyable but I feel the creamy notes could be a touch stronger.
Speaking of almonds I’m allergic but I used to love how they taste and smell. When I was getting my hair done for my brother’s wedding they for some reason decided to give me a free manicure. I haven’t had my nails done in 11 years because I don’t like the feeling of the nail polish on top of my nails. I know, I’m weird. Anyway, at the end the lady sprayed something all over my hands and walked away. As I was sitting there I smelled it and I looked up at the lady and said, “This smells like almonds, is it almond-scented?” “Yes” I didn’t wait to see if I was going to react so I went straight to the bathroom to rinse it off. My hands were a bit red but I didn’t notice anything otherwise.
I had to get a tasting note for this one in, especially as it is part of the allergen sale. I LOVE this one. It’s the ultimate of dessert teas. It’s very sweet, coconut, banana and mango. Very fresh coconut even a year later. Very banana and coconut on a lovely rich rooibos base. It tastes like a banana/coconut cream pie. The name is accurate! I have enjoyed this one a few times, so my sample is almost gone. I would love to get more.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for full mug // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 12 minute steep
edited to add: The very long second steep was even more full and rich. The ultimate dessert tea.
A sipdown! (M: 1, Y: 24). Apparently my pace went slow and honestly, recently I had almost no mood to drink teas. I have survived a few mornings at work without a tea, afternoons I wanted something easydrinking as I tend to come home really tired…
But yesterday, when I sipped this down was an exception. My 3 and half years old niece came with my brother to visit us, so I prepared myself a tea I needed to finish quickly (ehem, 4 months after its BB date), is flavourful and uncomplicated.
It was rather a coconut flavoured rooibos, which was qoing already a bit stale and funky; but I finished it without any problems and I am glad to report this sipdown. Thanks Michelle
Did you have a tea party with the little niece? (“Tea With Uncle Martin” just sounds like a lovely title for a children’s book!)
Hmmm I wonder where my bag of this is and should I finish it before it goes bad!
Sadly not gmathis; she was busy playing with other toys than she have, so she is always romping around.
Michelle: I think it’s the time to finish it.
With milk, this has a pretty nice, mild banana flavor. The rooibos itself is super strong and not the most pleasant of rooibos, so unfortunately it steals a lot of the attention. The coconut leaves a fresh, tasty coconut flavor that goes well with the banana. If the rooibos could be toned down, this would be a pretty great blend. And as usual, I wish the banana could be amped up even more!
