Black and White Vanilla

Black Tea by Peter Asher Coffee and Tea

Some people may call vanilla boring, that banal bean for those people too afraid to step out with a real flavor. Well, one cup of this bold and unique vanilla black tea will be enough to show this confused group just how much flavor they’ve been missing.

Peter Asher’s traditional black tea serves as a solid base, a perfect palate to showcase just how complex vanilla can be. This is the tea for the drinker who wants something unexpected. This is the tea for the leaf enthusiast who will not be satisfied with the same old boring bag that the woman next to them is drinking. This is the tea for the drinker with an edge. They may look like a basic black tea person on the outside but if you take a second look you’ll realize they need a little something more, a little something extra that can only be provided by taking a classic and complex vanilla bean and using those crisp flavors to give their mug an little extra oomph.

wow. Just…WOW!

This is a Niiice Cuppa! And YES…that’s NICE with 3’s iii’s!

Here’s why…

First…the dry loose leaf aroma is AMAZING…it smells like vanilla frosting! It does diminish quite a bit once infused but it it a lovely mellower aroma of vanilla and black tea.

I really like the black tea base in this flavored tea because it still shines thru the flavoring…it’s not out done by the flavoring…and I LOVE that! It’s a nice strong black tea with a neat yet natural (real tasting) vanilla flavor on the assist!

The vanilla is creamy and sweet. It’s a natural-tasting vanilla – more like a bean than faux flavoring – I appreciate that very much! It’s fairly juicy, too, which is different for most vanilla flavored teas I have tried, and I’m totally digging that characteristic, too!

This is a really nice flavored black! A nicely-done vanilla flavor! Two thumbs up!

SIPDOWN on this one…it will be missed!

I still LOVE this stuff. Yesterday for some reason I was smelling VANILLA all day and there was no rhyme or reason for it. SO this morning I made my first cup of the day THIS. See previous notes :)

So…I was chatting with Azzrian via email earlier and asked if she wanted a bit of this…I figured since it was fresh in my head and in my hand I would have a cuppa while divvy what was left of my stash to pass along to my Sororitea Sisters LiberTeas and Azzrian! :)

While going thru a Tea Archive Pile of mine I came across this gem and HAD to have a cup…or 3…or more…YUM! See previous notes :)

Forgot to log on Friday…it was nifty…see previous notes

I just really needed a flavored black…YUM…see previous notes…
