Description: We've gone bananas for our inaugural blend! Real dried bananas and natural flavors.
Going a little bananas this week. Too many things to do, and not enough time to do them in, so I felt it was appropriate to offer our Monkey Fart Honeybush from MySweetHoneybush.com for this week’s Tea of the Week.
Caffeine-free African honeybush blended with real freeze-dried bananas and natural banana flavors. Go bananas with me!
With sincere apologies to my business partner, Stacia, who HATES monkeys (Really, how can you hate monkeys?)
