Sleepytime Vanilla

I opened a new box of Sleepytime Vanilla and dang is it perfumey! Is rose the culprit? I can’t tell because to my senses, this tisane is so well blended I can’t pick out any individual aromas or tastes except for the creamy french vanilla note that lingers…

It makes me smile and envision little fluffy clouds:

Headphones, curled up under a down comforter in the dark, following the first real rain of the season. I loved seeing the low rain clouds enshrouding the mountains in the distance. It’s all so very comforting <3

So this tea tastes of a generally pleasant nothingness. I keep forgetting I’ve had it, so I keep forgetting to log it.
It just sort of gets drunk, unnoticed.

The tea is uninspiring in either direction.

I’m currently mixing this tea with another Celestial Seasoning’s flavor just to get through both boxes as I’m not a fan of either. The combination of the two makes the tea drinkable.

Celestial Seasonings is a brand I find I’m either hit or miss with. There is rarely any in-between emotions I have in regards to their selection which is sad as they have a rather large selection that is readily easy to find.

There are other nighttime blends that I find hit the mark for around the same price point that I prefer to stick with.

One of my favorite bagged teas, best brewed two bags to a mug or one per teacup and with a little cream at the end. Easy peasy, soft vanilla, chamomile and sweet mint flavors go nicely with a cozy blanket on a sleepy evening. I only wish it were stronger on the vanilla! It’s no expertly done full leaf but a simple, humble little tisane is good from time to time.

this review is going to also be my review for the celestial seasonings regular sleepytime tea because im drinking this toe to toe with each other. 2 cups vanilla, then 2 cups regular. both of these teas are just so comforting. probably the vanilla a little more so, also smoother with the vanilla, but i am enjoying the directness of the regular over the vanilla right now. pretty sure i will have to give these both the same rating as it will come down to which i am in the mood for at the time.

The smell is divine, something between cookie dough and vanilla ice-cream.
It was pleasant enough, but the mint was just too strong and strange. Without the mint I would drink this nightly.

New to the aisle at our grocery store; couldn’t resist. I’m glad I didn’t. The vanilla—which is pretty strong—offsets the traditional Sleepy-time minty-lemon mix. Result: relaxing with a cup that tastes like wedding butter mints.

In winter, I brew it hot with a lid or plate on top; in summer I brew it 3 bags to 2 cups for 15 minutes and pour it over ice.

I’m not much of an herbal tea drinker, but I like vanilla, and I bought a couple boxes of this a while ago. I can’t taste much vanilla…quite a bit of spearmint flavor…it’s not bad, I’m just not that into spearmint. The flavors do blend fairly well together with the chamomile.

Sipdown! I drank this hot and iced and I liked it both ways. It’s a nice tea to mix with others when you do it in a pitcher iced.
