Arguably the king of frozen treats, the Strawberry Banana Split is nothing if not a classic flavor combinational. This caffeine-free, sugar-free, interpretation captures the decadence without the guilt! All that's missing is the cherry on top.

I like the fruitiness, but there just isn't much there past the fruit flavor.

I was really excited about this blend, I love strawberry banana flavor combination. The fragrance out of my sample pouch was fruity with a lean towards strawberry, no banana noted. Definitely smells like it will be sweet. After steeping, I can't pinpoint a particular fruit but the aroma became muddled and confusing. The taste was similar, muddled and confusing with a slight lean towards strawberry. Maybe this is better iced, but I'm not pursuaded to try it again when there are many other delicious fruity options.

Taste is smooth and of banana; strawberry is mild at best. A pleasant experience overall, I think it would be delightful cold

This is actually a really good tea. I received it in my July CommuniTEA box. It smells really lovely. I didn't think I would like the flavor because of the banana, but decided to give it a try anyway knowing I'd just pawn it off on my husband if it was strongly banana.
The banana is subtle enough that I can easily ignore it. The overall effect is almost muffin-like.

imo it's better taken iced than hot. Hot, the strawberry is the dominant flavor, but cold allows the creme and banana flavors to come out a bit more.

This is such a lovely dessert tea. Just sweet enough....not too much, not too little. Aroma is wonderful. Taste is bright, cheery and comforting. Great hot and cold!

This tastes best iced. I like to hot brew it using 212 F water x 5 min then pour over ice. It has a strong strawberry banana when made that way.

This was a very nice green rooibos tea, which tasted more of strawberry than banana. I steeped it at 212 degrees for 5 minutes and added some agave.

This strawberry banana split is delicious. I love all of the rooibos teas that I have tried from Adagio.

I didn't find this tea to be particularly strawberry like or banana like, let alone a desert tea. The rooibos was the strangest flavor. An alright tea but not what I would have expected from the description.

I'm so glad this tea was added as a permanent tea at Adagio! Banana-flavored fruity teas are highly underrated, and I'm not sure why since bananas are a fruit that work very well in teas in my opinion, although they are lighter in flavor than most fruits. That's the case here in this tea. The strawberry flavor is way more pronounced, but you do get hits of subtle banana, especially when sweetened and iced. I found it to be the perfect balance. I'm normally not a fan of fruity rooibos teas, as I find the woodsy taste of the rooibos to clash with fruity flavors...but here it works. It all blends very well!

A very fun blend of ingredients, and it tastes just as it's titled. Add some sugar for an even sweeter treat.

This tea is best served cold, and cold brewing brings the banana flavor out quite strongly. My husband said the tea reminded him of the candy banana runts. The strawberry flavor is great too!
