Banana Muffin Rooibos

Description

This herbal tea captures the freshly baked essence of a homemade batch of banana muffins. Real banana chunks give the tea its rich fruity flavor, creating creamy layers and honey-like sweetness that is reminiscent of a perfectly ripe banana. Each sip swirls with notes of toasted banana and caramelized depths. The rooibos imparts a lovely bakey quality and a light nuttiness, which is complimented by undertones of warm caramel and hints of dark chocolate from the cocoa beans. The licorice adds a subtle sweetness while the apple pieces lighten and brighten the fruitiness of the tea. The flavors are perfectly harmonized and delicately balanced to mimic the taste of a freshly baked muffin.

Take a sip and satisfy your cravings - all the flavor of warm, baked goods without the excess calories. This versatile tea blend can be modified for all kinds of tastes. If you are a fan of chocolate chips in your banana bread, we recommend sprinkling in some cocoa powder to turn this into a truly decadent treat. Alternatively, you can add a spoonful of honey or simple syrup to delight your sweet tooth. If you prefer not to add extra sugar, a dash of milk can make the tea creamier and sweeter. You can also experiment with spices like cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg to create something truly unique each time you brew a cup.

This herbal tea is perfect any time of day. You can brew a cup as a welcome wake-up, each sip a comforting and light accompaniment to your breakfast. Or you can treat this tea as a decadent dessert alternative that can help satisfy your evening sweet-tooth. Drink this after lunch to help boost you through the afternoon while avoiding anything caffeine heavy. Brew a cup today and let us know your favorite time of day to drink Banana Muffin Rooibos.
