Holy cow this tea is good. Complex, full-bodied, genuinely banana-tasting (instead of fake-banana-tasting). I would have been really wary of this flavor if I'd seen it on a menu, but it's so much better even than it sounds.
One sip of our Honeybush Banana Nut tea and you'll feel as though you're standing in the middle of your local bakery, about to take a bite out of a freshly baked muffin!

I will admit this would probably have been the last tea I would buy. Somehow the thought of drinking Banana tea just did not sound good. But a friend said it was really good. So I got a sample size and now I wish had gotten a larger size. So I am excited that it is part of the community today giving me an extra severing.
This tea is sweet and nutty. It is smooth and a perfect tea for any time of the day. The banana flavor is not a fake candy flavor. It was a perfect tea to pair with some fresh hot banana bread.
OMG! this tea is amazeballs! From initially reading the ingredients to just smelling the tea packet I was already excited. Then taking the first sip and instantly having a piece of banana bread in my mouth! I'm usually skeptical when people say something taste just like something baked. But this seriously does taste just like banana bread or banana nut oatmeal. such a rich and smooth flavor I'm sad I can only give this 5 stars.
Tasting along with the CommuniTEA today: For me this taste more like banana maple syrup without the sweetness. After steeping as recommended, initially I do smell something very close to my mother's homemade banana bread on the nose. However, when I take a sip I get more maple flavor than I do anything else. My packet also seems to be missing the cocoa nibs and cinnamon. This is one of those teas that leaves me smelling maple all day no matter what I do. It's not unpleasant, just not my cup of tea. :)
Tastes just like banana bread; i made a latte with it what a treat. Sweetener really brings out the flavor in this one. I sampled this Tea as part of the CommuniTEA February Box. But buying this caffiene free option for my sister.
This is incredible!!! Like a liquid dessert... may be my new decaf favorite to replace my old favorite discontinued Yogi Tea, Tahitian Vanilla Hazelnut. Nice, soft banana flavor with a hint of nuttiness, reminiscent of banana bread.
I am so glad I gave this a try! I never would have selected a banana tea, but this is a delight! It's got a mellowness to it and it banana-y without being too saccharine or 'fake' tasting. I'm considering buying a larger sized sample. I can't imagine this would be a 'daily driver' for me, but I think it would be excellent with a buttery piece of toasted banana bread some Saturday morning.
Holy cow this is good! I love the banana bread and this is as good an imitation as a tea can get. A lovely nutty banana scent and flavor with hints of cinnamon and apple. I will definitely be gifting this to my fellow banana nut loving friends.
Absolutely delicious. Banana bread fresh from the oven.
Good, strong banana nut flavor! I don't typically like honeybush, but this is one I would definitely drink again.
The smell of this tea is amazing. I didn't identify it as banana right away--it smelled like vanilla and chestnut. The taste has a faint hint of banana and warm cinnamon, but I think I had too many apples in my packet, because there is a tart apple flavor that I find very distracting from the illusion of banana bread! I might order a full size sample though, to see if I get a more balanced blend that way! I tried this without milk or sugar, but with those I bet it would be even better. I also want to try this blended with a chai.
Believe all these great reviews of Honeybush Banana Tea. A wide range of Adagio fans stand by its deliciousness. I’m one more.
Set your kettle on high, not your oven to enjoy this banana bread tasting treat. The recipe includes honeybush tea, a few cocoa nibs, a sprinkling of marigold flowers, and chunky little apple pieces that piggyback flavors cinnamon, banana, and chestnut. Set all in a mug with infuser. Do not grease infuser. Pour boiling water over all and wait for at least 5 minutes before enjoying this wonderful banana bread in a cup. The beautiful auburn liquor can be sipped plain or topped with favorite dairy, whipped if you like, and sweetener just like a real cake. Dessert first anyone?
Fantastic! Dessert in a cup for sure. It tastes just like banana bread and is absolutely delicious.
Wow! What a home run full of flavor! This delightful blend tastes exactly like banana nut bread. Sweet, comforting, and nutty, although I did not get any nuance of chocolate. (Honestly, it wasn’t needed, and I’m a girl who always adds chocolate chips to my banana bread recipe!) This one will definitely be added to my tea collection. A perfect guilt free, caffeine free treat!
Yum! Tastes just like banana bread without the calories!
It really tastes like banana bread! You get the flavor without the calories.
Love this! Tastes like warm bread. Great with milk and sweetener
Honeybush banana nut is the perfect dessert tea that can be enjoyed anytime of the day since there's no caffeine. With just a touch of honey, the warm and soothing taste of fresh baked banana bread wraps you up with a kiss of cinnamon.
It's like drinking banana bread (without the calories)!
One of my very favorites. Tastes just like banana bread!
At first smell was over powering and I wasn't sure about drinking that much sweetness but after 1st sip I'm a fan. Suger free, really, tastes like a million calories!! yum
Far Out! A freshly-baked banana nut bread aroma smacked me right in the face upon opening my communiTEA packet this morning. This tea is one of my favorite Adagio desert blends. I’ve had it in my tea pantry for quite some time. My taste buds were salivating!
In the past, I have found that using one and a half teaspoons of tea for a four minute steep at 212°F was perfect for making a 12-ounce cup of this tea.
When hot, moderate baked apple and banana flavors were noted.
When warm, the combination of cocoa nibs, sweet flavors from the added sugar and Honeybush provided an overall buttery-smooth mouthfeel. Mild spicy flavors were noted from the cinnamon. The chestnut and banana flavorings held the whole process together by providing a true bread vibe, and making this blend “the real deal!”
Yep, what we had here was a buttered slice of banana nut bread in a cup! A very pleasant experience indeed! A second steep proved to be milder in flavors, but still very tasty. (¼ tsp sugar)
fun flavors and enjoyable. love the opportunity to taskte
I steeped my CommuniTEA portion for 5 and a half minutes with simmering water. It was a bit weak but the banana flavor is definitely there as well as whatever makes it muffin-like. Sugar seems to have blended those 2 flavors together, which actually wasn't as good when hot. When cooled, it was a delightful dessert. I resteeped for 8 minutes with less water. When hot, all I could taste was banana. as it cooled, it just seemed like warm water. I already bought a bag of this one to have around.
If you like banana bread, you'll adore this tea. It's basically liquid banana bread.
This tea is wonderful. The flavors are definitely reminiscent of banana bread. The cinnamon also comes through. A honeybush tea that I stand behind! I definitely like honeybush tea more than rooibos but both are much better as part of a complex flavor than plain.
This is a dessert tea. Very comforting to drink and perfect on a winter’s day. The tea tasted a bit like banana pancakes with maple syrup too if you use your imagination.
Served hot, with a splash of vanilla syrup, it tastes just like hot banana bread! Yum!
Pretty good tea that is made best with a teaspoon of honey or sugar. Good for warming a chilly morning.
The smell is heavenly and it tastes like banana bread. Need this one on auto delivery!
Tastes like banana bread! Perfect for any time of day.
Love this! It’s a nice little dessert tea. It does smell more than it tastes. wish I ordered more.
This is a great honeybush tea. It tastes exactly like banana bread. I don’t typically sweeten my teas but this one seems to call for it. It makes an amazing caffeine-free treat for a cold afternoon.
Unique flavor but awesome. Great for anytime, don't need a cookie or muff---- have it already in the cup.
It tastes very nice, surprisingly so, but I can t quite get past what an odd flavor this is for a liquid to have. Very much a dessert tea, especially with its lack of caffeine, and I m not sure why the apples were necessary, since they don t really add flavor. Make sure you have a VERY fine strainer so the bits don t escape into your cup.
This truly tastes like you are drinking a slice of banana bread! I love it!!
I'm not traditionally a big fan of overly flavored teas. But this one tastes exactly how it sounds! And it is a delicious treat at the end of a day with no caffeine and no calories. :-)
The banana nut tea is very good. It has notes of banana and apple and finishes with cinnamon nuttyness, it tastes like a cup full of baked goods. I felt the longer it steeped the better it tastes, didn't feel like it really got bitter.
The first time I brewed this, I am pretty sure that I accidentally didn t brew enough of it...so the flavor didnt really come through well. The next time I brewed this I ensured that I was making it stronger and the flavor really came out. It smells just like its description and it really does taste like banana bread. I sweetened it with honey.
This one was a good choice if you're craving something sweet or want dessert without the guilt.
Loved this flavor, tastes and smells like fresh baked banana bread. Will definitely order again.
Very much like fresh Banana Nut Bread and so good!
This is now my favorite tea by far. It smells amazing. There's more of an apple flavor than banana but the banana is there.
This is our favorite! It’s so flavorful and needs nothing added.
Absolutely excellent dessert in a mug! I don’t eat bananas anymore so this is a decadent substitute!
Truly dessert in a cup! I enjoy this as an evening sip, and I don't bother with any sweeteners because it tastes decadent enough on its own. The banana flavor is a tad artificial tasting but it doesn't take away from the quality.
This tea is fantastic! I added some dried banana chips while it was steeping and it brought out the banana flavour! Smells like heaven, tastes like heaven.
Repurchased for a friend. I have never tried it, but she loves it.
Good stuff! I made a huge pot of it and knocked off the whole sample bag in a weekend with a friend.
Warm sweet and comforting. Like a hug in a cup! Makes a lovely late afternoon or dessert tea.
