MinaG drank Pure Vanilla (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

Edit: Once it’s cooled down a little, a lot more vanilla comes through. It’s a nice tea. And I appreciate its simplicity.

Rooibos. Enough said. There is some vanilla, but the rooibos is overwhelmingly strong and as I’ve said time and again, I can’t stand that rooibos funk. I made this as a latte and I steeped for 7 minutes. I am hoping that I’ll get more vanilla with a shorter steep. Until then, I give this an “Ok” rating. It’s not awful and it’s not great. It’s fine.

This is my second try at this tea. I am not changing the rating. I may have screwed it up again though. I put 1.5tbsp of tea to 500ml of almond milk and steeped for 5 min. STILL way to rooibos-y. But now I fear I may have gone a bit overboard on the tea this time. I’ll have to try it with 1 tbsp for 4 min next time and see what happens.

Your take on this tea is pretty much the same as mine. It’s pretty mediocre. Drinkable, but there are many better options.
