I’ve been wanting to try more of The Persimmon Tree’s tea for a while now.
And were nice enough to send me samples in exchange for reviews!
I’ve tried a few of their teas now and have really enjoyed them, so I have high hopes for these samples!
As many of you know, I’ve started on a quest to find more relaxing teas to drink like chamomile. And since I’ve always only had bagged chamomile from Celestial Seasonings I decided to try a loose leaf chamomile!
Plus banana and coconut are flavors I love, so of course I had to try this one!
The dry leaf smell was sweet and slightly banana-ish, but nothing too overwhelmingly strong.
But the taste was quite different. It was sweet and light, hardly any signs of banana and coconut. There was very faint hints of banana in this tea, but nothing to be super excited about. I was hoping for more flavor than just chamomile, but it seems like chamomile is a difficult flavor to hide. :S
In comparison to other chamomiles I’ve had (which aren’t too many sadly), it’s actually pretty good. While I wish it had more banana and coconut flavors, it still has hints of those two here and there.
I did enjoy this tea the two times I had it, and once they have another really good sale like they did a few months ago, I would definitely pick this one up!
I would like to play around with this one a little more. Perhaps there is a way to bring out the flavors more!
Anyway, overall, it’s a nice and calming tea. Definitely is relaxing, and perfect to drink when I’m drugged up! Glad I got to try this! I’ll have to get more in the future! (:
Thanks to the Persimmon Tree Tea for this one! :D
Flavors: banana, Sweet
