Orange Grove Vanilla

Fruit Herbal Blend by Culinary Teas

Orange Grove Vanilla is a blend of herbs and fruit that imparts a wonderfully fresh citrus character balanced by soft creamy notes of vanilla. The cup is truly like no other, and evokes a warm summer afternoon in an orange grove coupled with the mysterious aura of Madagascar.

This is a guess, once again. The tea I bought at the Calabash Tea Room was labeled Orange Grove Vanilla, and I think this is it.

I have very few tisanes, and am not a big fan of them but was hoping this one would “Wow” me. Tomorrow we pack up and leave for home, so though I wanted a cup of tea I didn’t think I should have caffeine so late. I opted for my new herbal.

When I first started drinking good loose leaf tea I didn’t know how to describe it, how to rate it, how to appreciate it fully. It took time. Maybe it is the same way with herbals. This one isn’t bad but it isn’t doing any more for me than a bag of Celestial Seasonings tea would have done. After my first sip or two, I decided it was a little plain for me so I added a sprinkle of sugar. I think with honey, and iced, I might like this more. I don’t dislike it, but again, it isn’t doing an awful lot for me.

Sandy and I are going herbal again to avoid caffeine! The first sips of this were just okay, but all it took was a bit of turbinado sugar to make it really delicious. Sandy opted for honey and felt that the sweetener really improved it. The orange aroma is soo juicy in this. The vanilla is subtle. This was very enjoyable and would probably make an awesome iced tea. I’m reminded of some of the Teavana blends they offer as store samples, but I bet this is a lot cheaper.
