My daughter absolutely loved this tea. She said it reminded her very much of banana nut bread. I didn't enjoy it quite as much. I found the flavor somewhat nutty but it didn't really give me any hint of banana. I found it tastier mixed with cinnamon or chocolate flavored teas.

I'm SHOCKED, this tea really tastes like banana bread!! This will definitely become a regular.

This is one of my favorite Adagio teas that I regularly keep stocked at work. It's sweet on it's own, but goes well with honey and I imagine would do well with milk if that's your preference. Smells just like a banana muffin baking, though there isn't much banana flavor itself.

This has the fragrance of a banana muffin. Every sip is like I'm washing down a bite of banana muffin with my cup of tea. The flavor lingers and is better hot.

This is my absolute favorite tea. Honeybush is sweeter than rooibos tea and the flavors of banana and nut harmonize exquisitely. It tastes natural and is not overpowering. This ends up being my "go to" evening cup of tisane.

Lawrence Devore
this was another nice tea from Adagio teas, nice smooth texture. Brewed it at a lower temp, 1/4 tsp sugar splash of milk brought all the flavors to the forefront.

Jeannine Weise
It tastes amazing, just like banana bread in a mug. I wish the flavor was stronger with the recommended amount per cup, but I just use an extra half to one teaspoon per cup.

Janet Ross
Delicious and decadent tea which I brewed for 5 minutes in 212 degree water and added sweetener.

This is so yummy, and it really does taste like a banana pastry that you got fresh from a bakery. It smells great, too, but thankfully the smell is also reflected in the taste of the tea. It also re-steeps well the second time!

Katie Erickson
I am in love with this tea. It is my favorite tea that Adagio Tea sells. It will forever be in my collection, it tastes just like banana nut bread.
-

I was really excited about this, and it smells amazing, but I didn't quite love it. The cinnamon overpowers the other elements of the blend, so I really wish there was a banana bread flavor without the cinnamon. I bet that would be fabulous.

Michelle Fisher
Delicious - smells like banana nut bread and tastes great too. It's sweet enough without anything added.
-
Christine Jolly
This is like drinking a slice of your favorite banana nut bread. The best part is there are no calories! I highly recommend this tea, you won't regret it.

Max Gibbsone
Tastes almost exactly like a banana muffin! Not for the faint of heart because the banana taste is intense
-
Megan Horst-Burger
This tea is very good. The banana flavor is not too strong and the cinnamon adds a nice flavor
-
Sharon Dawson
I don't know how Adagio did it, but this tea tastes like liquid banana bread. I can taste banana, cinnamon, and nutty taste all in this tea. Sweet enough on it's own didn't need anything additional. I preferred it warm when the banana flavor stood out more.

This is my favorite caffeine-free tea! It tastes just like banana nut bread and without the calories.

Wow! This is really like biting into a liquified banana nut muffin. This is one of Adagio’s best teas.

My all-time favorite tea! Excellent with breakfast or dessert. Who am I kidding?! It's good all day long.
-
Kai Dranchak
Really good! It tastes just like banana bread. It has a bit of a splenda aftertaste, which I don't hate, but it's my only complaint.
-
Siobhan Dunlop
This tea is incredible! The banana and nutty flavour works really well with the honeybush and it's an ideal evening treat, like a pudding in a mug.

One of my favourite teas. From the scent of banana and nut when you open the package to how well the flavours blend together without being over powering or too strong. Reminds me of fresh baked banana bread. Mmmmmmm.
-
Jessica Normal
My go-to evening tea. The banana nut bread flavor is gentle and comforting. I typically brew this at 212° for about 8 minutes, and serve with sugar. I never leave home without this tea.
-
Greg Bancroft
The banana isn't as fake as some. The nut is chestnuty. The honeybush is sweet. It's a balanced treat.
-
Tracy Jones
I usually avoid banana flavored things, but this is actually delicious. It has a not quite real and not quite fake banana flavor, and the taste does make you think of banana bread. There is a natural sweetness from the honeybush, and the chestnut flavor as the "nut" component really adds a nutty, woody flavor that also hints of caramel. Overall, a very tasty cup of tea.

Amber Glinski
The smell of this tea is everything youd want it to be. Banana bread fresh out of the oven. However I barely tasted the banana once brewed. Spice and nut notes are strong throughout the consumption of this tea. It is slightly sweet but better with bothered flavors with honey. I find it to be a comforting tea, ideal for evening.

Brynn Dardanes
I really love this tea. I will create a keto latte by adding a Tablespoon of ghee and two tablespoons of Half and half with a few drops of stevia. It is decadent!

Nice dessert tea. It really does taste like banana bread in a cup without the mess and time of baking. No one can refuse this.
-
Caroline Nitirahardjo
The banana scent is strong. However when steeped, a lot of the banana flavour goes away. To help, I'd steep it extra long and add a bit of sugar or honey. It's great after that!
-
Donna LeMoine
Yes, a tea that taste like a slice of banana bread. Great job creating a wonderful morning tea.
-
Courtney Boell
Despite accidentally dumping nearly a third of my sample packet on the ground, this is delicious! It's sweet with a touch of banana and a nutty finish. I'm not a big banana person at all, but I really like this blend! Steeped for 5min at 212F
-
Lilly Tryon
There's no better smell than homemade banana bread baking, and maybe no better comfort food than a slice of that warm, buttery bread right out of the oven. Adagio has managed to capture that aroma and flavor in this tea.
Steeped 212°F x 5 minutes. Second steep is weaker in flavor.

Rachel Emmel
I love banana brea! So I was excited to try this tea out. This tea smells divine! Nutty and banana-y lol.
Thankfully the banana flavor is not candy-lie, like laffytaffy. The flavor is a good likeness to banana bread - not a perfect one to one, but it's similar enough to connect the dots.
Besides the chestnut, the honeybush also brings its natural woody sweetness to the party. It actually helps hammer in the 'bread' or 'baked goods' aspect of the flavor for me.
Sugar helps enhance the flavors, but since honeybush is naturally sweet one has to be careful not to oversweeten it. Milk or cream are also a welcome addition.
Steeped 212F, 5min

OMG, so good! Waiting for it to brew was torture! It smelled amazing-just like banana bread out of the oven, and it tastes just like it as well! Love this and its perfect when you're craving something sweet. I will always have a bit of this in the house as long as its available.

I've been sort of on the fence about honeybush since I don't like red rooibos at ALL, but this tea is amazingly delicious. I was so surprised how much I loved it, It really does taste like a banana nut muffin - with NO weird aftertaste or smell. No complaints - five full stars! I would totally buy this again!

Red Wolfe
Liquid banana bread. That's the only way I can think to describe this tea. If you like banana bread, you'll really like this.
-
Beth Hays
One of my absolutely favorite teas!! It really does taste like banana nut bread!!
-
Tea Tigress
The tea leaves had a cloying scent of chestnut syrup and banana. On the tongue this tea is very sweet; with maple bourbon vanilla, chestnut, and banana syrup - which would be good if there wasn't an odd chemical aftertaste on the backend. Can't say I will be purchasing again.

This is one of my favorite teas. I love banana teas and this a top of the list tea

Smells and tastes exactly as described. Depth and breadth to flavor, does not get bitter if oversteeped. One of my favorite blends!
-
Rebekah Strickland
Banana nut bread in a cup. This is an excellent dessert style tea that stands alone or goes very well with baked items.

Tom Bailey
This is about as good as dessert tea gets. Absolutely tastes like a banana nut muffin.
-
Katherine Moore
I sipped on this tea while eating a slice of banana bread and it was the perfect combination. Highly recommend.
-
Karen Helsel
By far my favorite year-round rooibos. The flavor of the banana nut bread comes through strongly, and I add a little sugar to keep the sweetness going. This is one I never let myself run out of!
-
Rebecca Haley
This one was great. I was skeptical at first, but once I opened the packet- fresh baked banana bread! Must repurchase.
-
Jessica Deutsch
This tea has an excellent scent as well as an excellent taste! You will feel as if someone is baking banana bread in your kitchen, and the flavor is very true to the name.
-
Kim J.
A great tea from adagio! I like that you can taste both the banana and the honeybush. A great tea to keep on hand for drinking in the evening!
-
Michael Jacobson
Very very banana-esque. I'm not sure what I think of it to be honest. It's not bad, but the nut flavoring is meh. The banana flavoring is quite good though.
-
Golden Cat
My absolute favorite. Sweet, banana-y, and perfect with a little milk and sugar or creamer. Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top for an epic treat.
-
Galatea D
This certainly smells like banana nut loaves in a bakery. The flavor of the banana and nut is weak. I ended up doubling the steep time and put a touch of stevia in it.
-
Alexis Wolf
This is a great banana nut tea! It is a comforting, warm flavor, although I would love if it was just a touch stronger or maybe had a bit of caramel flavor to fill it out and then it would be PERFECT
-
Caleb Hudson
Nutty and naturally sweet, this tea really does mimic the taste of a banana nut muffin.
-
Asia Cureton
This tea is suuuper good! To make it a bit stronger I use more than a teaspoon per cup, and then steep it for 30+ minutes.
-
Kathleen Krantz
This tea is solo good, you can skip dessert! It's dessert in a cup without all the calories of the bakery version! Love, love love this tea!🤩

Mocha Cocoa
It's not bad but not good. Not my taste. I might enjoy it better if it does not have cinnamon.
-
Amanda
This smells exactly like a fresh basked banana but muffin. The flavor is light, but definitely has notes of sweet banana bread. So good, will always have a bag on hand.

I was amazed by how much this tastes like banana bread. Not only does it, but it's absolutely delicious. It's no wonder why this is one of the highest rated teas on Adagio's website. If you like banana bread or banana muffins, you will LOVE this tea!

Samantha Ball
This tea is a lot of fun and something I'd be comfortable sharing with children because of the lack of caffeine.

-
Chase Munson
Very good! The aroma and flavor profile really do match the taste of a nice warm piece of banana nut bread. I find myself drinking this one on cold days. Definitely going to be one of my go to herbal teas.
-
Alyson Sheppard
This is probably my favorite tea! It has a wonderful smell - just like banana nut bread. The taste is more subdued, but still sweet and nutty. I was worried that it might be overly banana-y, but it isn't at all. There's just a hint of banana bread flavor - not artificial banana.
-
Yu-Hsin Liu
Absolutely amazing! This tea tastes almost exactly how my boyfriends banana nut muffins taste! The honeybush adds a delightful sweetness to enhance the banana and the nuttiness is not overpowering in anyway and works well with the banana, I did find that I had to steep it extra long to get that satisfying flavor though so now the shortest steep time I use for this tea is 30 minutes!
-
Casey Covel
Smells, tastes, and even has the visual composition of the banana nut muffins my mom makes. It's a comforting, homey, nostalgic tea that serves as an ideal evening companion alongside a book, a blanket, or a favorite video game. Brew up a cup and inhale the fresh scent of "welcome home after a hard day of work!" Can't recommend this one enough!

Crystal Nicol
I ordered 16 oz of this tea, based on the reviews alone. Unfortunately, I wasn t blown away by the taste. It is a very mild banana nut flavor with a heavy Honeybush flavor. I am a fan of Honeybush, so this works for me but if you are purchasing it in hopes of a tea tasting strongly of Banana nut, you ll be disappointed. I brewed this plain and also brewed it and added almond milk and honey. The milk and honey did bring out more of that banana nut flavor.
