Cinna-Vanilla

Black Tea by English Tea Store

A tea that’s truly terrific during the winter months, our Cinna-Vanilla flavored black tea is magnificent when combined with a bit of sugar. The sweetness of the cinnamon pairs wonderfully with delicate vanilla, and delivers a bright and coppery infusion. This tea is best served hot.

For the best brew, we recommend our Cinna-Vanilla black tea steep in water that has been brought to a rolling boil for 2-5 minutes.

Now I regret having all these packets of samples from English Tea Store…this is not tasty. I even steeped it for 2 1/2 minutes hoping to avoid any problems but it’s bitter and hardly tastes as good as it smells.

In fact the weird briskness/bitterness of this tea makes it oddly taste like fruits and stale bread.

Sadly I am not going to sit around with milk and sugar for this, which may help, as I need to go do some things. Hopefully that makes it drinkable, because it sure isn’t on its own.

I’m back home so I just tried it cold. Still tastes like stale bread, but at least it also tastes like cinnamon now. This may also be relegated to oatmeal.
