Not great :(
"I found this tea went too heavy with the ginger and the banana got overpowered by it. This will not be a re-buy and I’m a bit disappointed, B&B you stars you mainly make great tea :("

Reviews
My holy grail chai!
"Love love love this chai! Bought the chai selection box to try a few different options and this one has fast become my favourite. I don't actually get much banana bread flavour but that's no bad thing as the spice blend is just spot on. It's more like a warming, perfectly spiced bake with some creaminess and vanilla from the rooibos. A dash of honey really enhances the sweetness but it's good without too! Will be repurchasing."
Delicious
"Yeah, really loved the taste of this chai, especially with oat milk. I think the redbush tea is my favourite of all the teas. I’ve tried it with normal milk, it was nice but oat milk is preferable. I throw in a couple of spoons of this tea into a pan of warming milk and let it sit for a bit before straining off. Doesn’t need anything else as the oatmilk is creamy without being sickly. Just curl up with a good book and enjoy."
WHERE IS THE BANANA
"Was expecting what it unironically says on the tin: banana, dense, spiced, buttery, cakey. Instead, I got floral and almost sour cinnamon, no banana at all. I've tried bird and blend before and have always been disappointed. Their teas feel very watery and like leaf juice rather than an emulshment of flavour. Maybe I'm spoiled because I have homemade chai every day but seriously, how can you not hit the brief at all!!!"
So good as a dash in coffee
"I brewed a strong cup and added some to my coffee with some milk. Really gave it a spiced cinnamon coffee type flavour. Tempted to add to baked oats and cakes as well. Agree with the comments that it's more mixed spice than banana but either way, great taste. :)"
Delicate banana bread
"I LOVE a rooibos tea and banana bread so when i saw the banana bread chai i had to INSTANTLY buy it! Delicate banana bread taste && not overpowering at all. Cant recommend enough"
My Favourite so far!
"I love this tea. For me it's comforting and it's got a bit of a spice but with sweetness and just a cosy warmth. Definitely one I am considering for subscription as I think I could cry if I ran out! Reccommend it 100% If you want to feel cosy and at home, and just comforted and loved this is your tea! Plus it has a slight kick for those that don't like over sweet. I think it's perfectly balanced in that way. Just love it!"
Yum!
"I wasn't sure that I was going to like this but brewed with milk, a spoonful of honey and pinch of cinnamon it was delicious. It will definitely be one to add to my regular purchases."
Absolutely love this, spicy, sweet, warming
"This is gorgeous! I use cloves, star anise, cardamom and a cinnamon stick directly into barista pumpkin or oat milk on the stove. I get extra warmth from the added cloves, this is just what is needed going into autumn!"
Lovely blend without caffeine
"Nice blend without caffeine. I still prefer the caramelised banana pancake one but it its absence this one is a nice substitute."
Q&A
- Hey, I love the look of your teas but there is no nutritional information available - I have gallbladder problems and have to have a fat free diet therefore this information would be really helpful to me to know whether I can order, is it anywhere else on the website?
- Hi Rebecca, thanks so much for getting in touch. This is not information that we have to hand as we do not test currently test our blends for this. Any blends that have naturally occurring fats will only have trace amounts though. Ian @ B&B
- Hi I would like to know how to brew this tea? I’ve tried making it like I do baby spice but it kept going through the strainer (I think the tea is too small in size) and was too watery in the end.
- Rooibos is a super-fine tea! :) This means that you'll need a fine strainer to avoid any tea leaves escaping! Happy sipping, Neve @ B&B
- Would this be of a similar taste to 'Monkey Chops'? It's my favourite, but I'm having to cut down on caffeine and I don't want to miss out on it.
- Thanks so much for your question! Both contain banana but Banana Bread Chai is a Rooibos blend that also contains spices (Ginger, Cinnamon and Cardamom) So It has a lovely warmth to it! Unlike Chocolate Digestives it is lovely without milk and great cold brewed in oat milk :) I hope this helps and happy sipping! Ruth @B&B
