I was trying to decide on what tea to have today. Since I am still battling a cold, I thought it best to stay hydrated which meant no caffeinated teas. Plus, due to my lack of taste, I didn’t want to try something new. Furthermore, I wanted something I could make as a latte just so I could get my milk servings in. Then mewakeling posted about this tea and it wasn’t the most glowing review but it reminded me that I have some of this tea I have wanted to use up and I have wanted to try it as a latte. I only realized after draining the tea out of the steeper that I should have steeped this longer. Nonetheless, it is not horrible. I added about 1/3 cup of frothed milk. The tea is sweet (probably due to the dates) and the banana is also quite prominent. I am not getting bread but the nuts are also present in the cup. It isn’t my favourite but mixed with the milk it is creamy and not bad at all. I think I will be drinking what is left of this in latte form.

Latte would probably make this a lot better! I wish it worked better for me, I love all the components individually, they just don’t work together for me!
Yeah. I had such high hopes for this tea but the execution was just not great. I find this oily without the milk so it is definitely better as a latte for that reason alone.
I hate when a tea sounds like it should be phenomenal and there is just nothing you can do to make it more than passable. It is just such a let down! And I hear you on the oily, it is a greasy tea on its own.

I am glad you had a bit more success with it than I did!

I don’t know how much more you have to get through but I know for me, the only day I am getting the last few cups down is when it is prepped as a latte. Plus right now my taste is off so I don’t mind drinking what I have of this. Better than wasting teas I actually enjoy.
