Discovery tea box – Tea #2
I do love a vanilla tea and can’t resist try any that I come across. If I ever find a true vanilla tea with actual vanilla beans/pieces, that will probably be my favorite. BUT the description for this one SAYS there is vanilla beans. I should have dissected the teabag before throwing it out. Looking up the tea, it also says I’ve had this one before (eight years ago — I’ve been on Steepster that long?!). However, this one oddly tastes like bananas, rather than vanilla. So I’d probably lower the rating now, but I don’t like lowering ratings… only raising them.
Edited: For funsies, I looked up the day of my first Steepster tasting note: 11/18/2009. Whoa.
Flavors: banana

I tried a vanilla tea once that tasted like bananas to me… and that is my most hated food of all, so I was not amused. Not sure how teas can mess up vanilla flavoring so badly…
Comin’ up on 9 years! Steepster Royalty up in here.
I’ve been drinking this tea with rose syrup and milk and it makes an awesome drink. It is a bit plain by itself. I can’t say I’ve tasted banana before but some vanilla teas have had fruity notes in them in my experience.
Mastress Alita – I’ve rarely found a decent vanilla tea!
Why thank you, Derk. I guess I just love Steepster too much to leave.
Thanks for the suggestions, Arby!
