$4.25
Size

Tastes Like: black truffle, damp peat, grilled banana, percolator coffee
Feels Like: a majestic mountain lodge

This multi-faceted black tea combines layers of smoke, sweet grilled banana, and sharply fragrant black truffle. The aroma alone overtakes your senses, while the taste draws you deeper into its kaleidoscopic trance. Milk enhances the caramel banana sweetness. Add a touch of booze for a wild and wonderful hot toddy. Recommended for lovers of campfires, scotch and mezcal.

Incredibly delicious

It was so many flavors that all hit one after another and ending with a coconut finish.

I’m glad I got this!

This is delicious cold or hot - with milk or without. Banana and toffee undertones without making the teas flavor. Very well balanced.

Go Bananas!

One of my favorite black teas. Not an overpowering banana flavor. Just enough to add some tropical flair. The truffle notes come on at the end of each sip. Makes a great iced tea as well. I add it (chilled) to ginger ale and rum (regular, spiced, coconut or banana rum) for a tasty after work drink.
