"Just wow. I cold brew two perfect spoons of tea in 200ml of boiling water, let it go cold and pour it over ice adding oat milk. It tastes of banana milkshake. I can’t believe I hadn’t tried this tea before. I definitely recommend anyone try it ⭐"
"What a fantastic blend. It's really hard to describe as a flavour, aside from absolutely enthralling. The banana scent is strong in packet, but not at all once brewed, so if you're wary of it do not feel any concern; it's just the perfect hint in the background. I don't even consider it a detectable flavour in the drink. When drinking this tea, I taste an exquisite black tea with some lightening thanks to the rest of the blend and good body roundness. I definitely wouldn't add milk--the nuance of flavour is perfect on its own, and in some ways similar to qualities of a black with a little lemon, except without the acidity. Milk loses you the lovely acridity and balance. All in all, I found it so good that I had to brew a second cup immediately after my first taste, and proceeded to put a full-sized bag in my cart for my immediate next order. I hope this one stays on the wall permanently! Most teas I enjoy to try and drink through the packet, but with a cupboard as fit to burst as I have between all the new varieties to try I don't restock them. Being added to my permanent stock is a huge deal for a tea blend for me--the only other one that's ranked this position for me prior to Monkey Chops is Nearly Nirvana!"
"This mixture worked incredibly well, it really tastes like banana, which is extraordinarily difficult to find in tea, what a marvel!"
"Really enjoyed the taste of this tea and found it really refreshing. I’m new to cold brew tea, and my problem is all the tea leaves! I don’t have a compost heap or garden, and have found that I prefer the convenience of a tea bag…."
"I was looking for a caffienated cold brew tea and saw this suggested so I thought I would give it a go! I'm so glad I did, it is absolutely delicious, smells amazing and I will definitely be repurchasing!"
"If you like bananas this is the tea for you! Such lovely flavours. Really happy!"
"While on vacation in England, we were drawn to the Bird & Blend store in Islington. So happy with my purchase of the Monkey Chops tea! The flavor is as divine as its scent. I highly recommend!"
"The banana flavour came through very nicely with a floral aroma around it. Really enhanced by a splash of caramel syrup"
"One of my favourites. The smell and taste are amazing and exactly as you’d expect. A real winner!"
"Don't know why I didn't try this before! Tastes of proper banana - delicious without being sickly sweet."
