Description
Voted the best tea (iced or hot!) three years running by the Primate Post, our Banana tea combines the flavor and aroma of fresh bananas with bright black tea from Ceylon. Once you experience the quality, you're sure to see that we're not just monkeying around.
Story
The earliest mention of bananas is found in ancient Buddhist texts, dating from 600 years before common era. Alexander the Great was the first European to have discovered its taste upon conquering the Indian valley in 327BC. The Chinese were the first to cultivate bananas; plantation records were found from two-thousand years ago. In 650AD, bananas arrive in Palestine, from where Arabic merchants spread it throughout Africa. Finally, in 1502 aboard a Portuguese ship bananas make the leap to America.
