So far I think this is my favorite tea. It has a unique smooth and sweet flavor enhanced by adding a bit of milk. Fantastic as a desert or indulgent sweet treat.

I had this tea with some oat milk. The aroma is banana with a hint of - salted caramel? The taste is quite forward on banana with something toning it down. This part I don't really like. I added half a teaspoon of honey, which turned it into a butterscotch tea with a hint of banana! What a transformation. I'm really not sure what I think about this tea, maybe I'll give an update later.

This is a sweet butterscotch banana tea. The flavors are well balanced and with a little bit of cream added, it's a great dessert tea.

Pretty good, butterscotch tea with a hint of banana. A very unique flavor that is a little busy with all the other ingredients, but the banana and butterscotch pop nicely.

The smell of this blend is amazing! The butterscotch on top of the banana nut is drool worthy. However, I didn't get strong flavor from the brew. Honeybush Banana Nut has a strong banana aftertaste that I really enjoy, but just didn't get from Jolly Roger. Still a fun tea for Talk Like A Pirate Day!

A fun dessert tea. I like both the honeybush banana nut tea and butterscotch tea individually, and it seems I like them together too.

This is a pretty good tea to drink late in the day, as it has only trace caffeine. The butterscotch tea mixed with banana nut honeybush makes for an interesting dessert tea. I steeped at 190 degrees for 5 minutes.

I'm not usually one to reach for anything banana-flavored or -related but this is a really good tea nonetheless. It's really cozy without seeming overwhelmingly flavored, which would be easy to do with this combination of flavors.

This is a fun one - very much like Adagio’s Honeybush Banana Nut, but with a black tea base and a delicious butterscotch element. Yum!!

Nice by itself, better with some vanilla soy milk for a creamy, smooth naturally sweet tea.

The dry ingredients have a sweet apple/banana aroma. The bright amber tea is delightful, and tastes like a spicy carrot/banana cake. Especially after adding sweetener and heavy whipping cream. After a cup of this you may begin talking like a pirate - arrrgh! Maties, this here is a right darn good cuppa. No wonder Roger be so Jolly if'n he be drinkin' this instead of grog! This here saucy wench needs to be gittin' more of this - yo ho ho!

Not my favorite, but that's probably because I don't like the flavor of honeybush. I know people really love this tea. It is very pretty in the bag, lots of colorful different bits of things. The butterscotch gives it a nice flavor. I prefer Adagio's straight Butterscotch to this blend.

I'm not a fan of banana flavors, but still enjoyed this one a lot. The honeybush makes it naturally sweet, like a perfectly ripe banana.

Very delicious! The cloves give it a bit of a holiday season feel, and is great brewed hot on cold days. I like my teas very strong and overbrewed it a bit though - halfway through got quite bitter, but adding a splash of vanilla creamer I had evened it out perfectly. I drank the first half with 2 packets of splenda.

Makes a great hot toddy! I added caramel whiskey to a hot cup and was set for the night. 10/10 will definitely buy again.

This one is a nice mix of the banana nut(which I love), chocolate, and butterscotch. The flavors all play well together.

This tea has a great butterscotch flavor. Since I find sugarbush tea naturally sweet, I only added a tiny bit of sugar. I don't think I really tasted any banana, but I still enjoyed the tea

Wow! So now I know what all the fuss is about! This is sweet and delicious, who knew I would like banana in tea? So many delicious flavors. This one is really a treat!

Delicious tea with added stevia. Banana, caramel, spice notes. Like an excellent baked dessert bread.

This tea is great! The flavors are layered nicely. Sweet and warm tasting, even when cold-brewed.

Honestly really nice spiced tea. The banana is a strong yummy taste and all together the tea reminds me of spiced banana bread, yum!
