Decaf Paris Vanilla from Custom - Harney and Sons

Gal In The Grey Hat drank Decaf Paris Vanilla by Custom - Harney and Sons

I picked up both of these teas when at the Millerton shop yesterday as one of the women in the tasting room suggested these two played very well with one another and were a great way to end the day. So I’m giving it a go this morning (we got home very late last night…too late for tea making.

I really love the extra Vanilla flavor that comes out of mixing these two together! I’m also glad I went with her suggestion of how much tea to use 1tsp of Decaf Paris to 1 1/2tsp of Vanilla Comoro. Actually I think it could use a little more Vanilla Comoro, but the way I currently prepped it keeps the flavor of Paris out in front too. Naturally I wanted both flavors to rock out and that’s just what this mix did.

I did later add a little sugar and some very vanilla silk milk which really knocked all the flavors up a bit for a really nice first cup of the day.

Great suggestion! That is 2 1/2 tsps. For how much water? One cup? Small pot?

Well, it’s 1tsp of the Decaf Paris and 1 1/2 of the Vanilla Comoro for a 8-16oz cup…sorry about that.

Let me know what you think…it may need more of the vanilla.

I have Vanilla Comoro and regular Paris. I will give it a try with those. I don’t have the decaf version of Paris yet,but maybe I should consider it.

I think it would work with either.

I may go heavier on the Paris for mine….will report tonight!

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)
