JoonSusanna drank French Vanilla Assam by 52teas

1.5 tsp in 10 oz water.
I just love how you get the vanilla flavor FIRST, and black tea as an afterthought.
It’s so smooth and the mouthfeel is perfect- this is a thick tea even without additives. It is definitely a morning starter drink, which is great, because that’s how I’m drinking it!

I love this one too. It is so different than most vanilla teas. Also wanted to let you know your order will be shipping today. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I just saw the picture you sent me and did a little squee…I can’t wait!

This is my very favorite tea from Frank.

It is quite good, especially the way I had it today with the longer steeping time. How long do you normally steep it for?

I am generally very cautious when I steep Assam teas, because I find them to be too bitter when I oversteep. I usually go for 2 1/2 minutes to 3 minutes with this tea (and most Assams!)
