Vanilla Tea

Black Tea by Market Spice

A blend of Chinese Hunan black tea and Vanilla flavoring. Always a favorite.

This is not the vanilla tea you’re looking for.

I’m probably rating this a little harshly, as I’m comparing it to my favorite vanilla tea (Colonille from SerendipiTea). The base tea is less smooth, more of a bite to it. Not exactly astringent, but a little bit of a darker tea flavor. Unfortunately, the vanilla doesn’t come through as powerful or as pleasantly. So, I’m not really terribly fond of this as a vanilla tea. I mean, it’s not terrible. It will probably be decent iced. But, it really has zero chance of supplanting Colonille in my cupboard.

Win some, lose some.
