I hope everyone’s week started off with a bang! As you can tell from yesterday's post, I am really enjoying my time here at home!
Today is my last full day in Saskatchewan as I will be leaving back to London tomorrow morning at 10:00 am, so I’ll be soaking up as much time as I can with my Mom and Dad before I leave! 
Today I am going to review the final tea that I have left to review of DAVIDsTEA’s fall collection, Banana Nut Bread.
As I mentioned on Sunday, this is my favourite out of all of the five fall teas!
Here is what David has to say about this herbal blend:
Like all amazing recipes, this one took years to perfect – and it was totally worth the wait. This tea miraculously captures the flavour of freshly-baked banana bread. The taste of real banana slices blends perfectly with almonds and the sweetness of dates and currants. It’s fragrant, with all the warmth of a loaf hot from the oven. As deliciously comforting as mama’s special recipe, but without the calories.
The ingredients of this tea are:
- Dates
- Currants
- Almonds
- Banana pieces and slices
- Artificial flavouring
As you can see, this tea actually contains no tea at all! So, it’s really not a tea, per say, but it is still absolutely delicious! 
I’ve had this tea iced, hot, and as a latte and each method provides you with such joy that you keep going back for more! Needless to say… I have a huge container of this tea in my cupboard at home 
This tea is as close to banana bread as you’re going to get without actually eating banana bread, so if you have a craving you know where to go!
I’ve had banana-flavoured teas before, but this one is unique because it has dates and currants in it which adds so much depth and character to the type of sweetness this tea offers! Yes, it tastes like bananas, but most of the sweetness definitely comes from the dates and currants. It’s not too sweet, though. It’s exactly how a banana nut bread tea should be! Banana-y, nutty, and slightly sweet
You can definitely pick out the nutty notes of this tea thanks to the almonds, but it is not an overpowering nutty taste whatsoever.
When I make this tea, I let it steep for the entire time I drink it. It never gets bitter, just sweeter.
This tea definitely does not need any added sweeteners at all, but if you want to add milk – go for it! Banana Nut Bread Latte's are heavenly!
I hope you enjoyed this tea review! I am finally done reviewing DAVIDsTEA's fall collection, so now what? Are there any teas you would like me to review next? Even though I love DAVIDsTEA, I will most definitely review other teas!
Have you enjoyed my recent tea reviews?
Which fall tea from DAVIDsTEA sounds most appealing to you?
Play catch up! Here are the previous four tea reviews I wrote for DAVIDsTEA's fall collection:

My favorite!!! This tea is what dreams are made of! I’ve already told Santa not to worry about presents; I’ll be happy if he fills my stocking with Banana Nut Bread tea!
I let mine steep the entire time I drink it too.
It truly gets better and better with every sip. I agree that no sweetener is needed, although when I’m feeling particularly indulgent, I add a touch of stevia or agave, which heightens the flavors even more!
I hope you enjoyed your last day at home! Your family is so beautiful, sis. <3 xoxo
Hi Meg
Would you ever consider doing a post about them? Have a lovely week.
Thanks for your review, I don’t live in Canada so we don’t have a Davids tea! But your descriptions sound so tasty maybe I could try making my own version?! My Aunt makes mint&lemon tea with fresh herbs/lemons from her garden. It’s really amazing! I’m envious of the close relationship you share with your parents! You are lucky
Banana nut bread… YUM! I bet that would be a great flavor to make a latte!
You find seriously the best sounding teas ever!! Birthday cake still takes the cake!!
yum that tea sounds delicious! I was searching for a Davids tea while I was in Toronot but didnt have any luck. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I had a wonderful weekend in Canada, you live in a great place!
I love David’s tea as well, I pretty much have a mug on the go all day with the cooler weather here! I love your dress(top?) in that photo with your parents, where did you get it? So cute!
I need to try this! Next time I’m in NYC (for work in early 2013!) I’m going to hunt down DAVIDsTEA! Maybe I’ll just order some off of their website in the meantime? You should be a brand ambassador for them-I wonder how many people have tried it because of your blog?! Beautiful family picture too! Loving the fall color coordination you guys have going on there
It’s also my fave from the fall collection! It tastes like a Ferrero Rocher! Also, I am cheating on DavidsTea as I type this – I’m drinking GypsyTea’s coconut chai. It’s really good! Have you tried it?
If only I wasn’t allergic to nuts. Your review is perfect. I couldn’t help but stare at the outfits your family had on! I love the fall colours and prints that you and your mom chose. Very stylish
I’m kind of jealous!
I just stocked up on David’s tea today and thought of you!
I think a give away is in order after all this talk of David’s Tea!!! We Americans want a taste
I am such an herbal tea freak, those all sound amazing! I think I’m the most curious about the banana bread and the marshmallow.
This sounds delicious!!
After reading your reviews, I finally broke down and placed my first order. I got several varieties including the banana nut bread, toasted marshmallow, and red velvet cake (Thanks Meg’s Mom!!!). We don’t have David’s here so now I have to wait for mail to arrive!.That’s the only downside.
I keep venturing over to the David’s Tea website and then looking over at my wallet… your reviews are killing me. Ha!
These teas sound so good!
By the way, I love the shirt you’re wearing in the photo above!
I’m going to need to buy me some of this, it sounds amazing and with all your IG pictures and blog discussions of the products… well it’s enticing
So happy to hear your having a wonderful time with the family. The picture up on top of you all is beautiful!!!
