This is my very first SpecialTea Brew tea! LOVE the logo!!! Anyhow…this is my “Hell Week” so my reviews may be short, random, odd, or otherwise. BUT…100 percent true to my tastes and likes and dislike as always!

Having said that…

This is a nice Vanilla Bean! Out of package the aroma is very strong! Very nicely scented! As you infuse it loses a little scent but it’s still there and still vanilla. The taste is a very vanilla tasting black tea. Probably one of the more vanilla-E tasting teas I have had! If you like Vanilla or Vanilla Bean you will like this. If you are not sure about Vanilla you might like this due to it’s creaminess!

SIPDOWN #1 for today!
Upping the rating! I enjoyed this one more than I remember. The vanilla is intense but true and it’s a vanilla BEAN flavor and not ‘just’ vanilla flavor. Yes…I do believe there is a difference!!! Delight!

This is the first of SpecialTea Brew’s teas that I’m trying and I really like it.

The vanilla flavor is very prominent and it is smooth and sweet (yummy). The black tea has a pleasant taste and is fairly robust – it doesn’t hide behind the flavor. It would make a really nice alternative to the typical breakfast blend or a good tea to enjoy in the afternoon.

I like this one a lot.

Backlogging – had this the other afternoon. Thanks for sharing, SpecialTEA Brew! This is a delicious, satisfying cup of vanilla tea. I tend to prefer vanilla over chocolate anyway. The interesting feature of this vanilla tea is the flavor: it actually tastes like vanilla beans versus just the artificial vanilla flavor that is in many other teas. I’ll need to test it out iced but hot is a satisfying cuppa!

I’m upping the rating on this one. This retains its flavor well over time, and, after sampling other vanilla teas, I have to say this is my favorite (so far).

Bold and hearty. Just what I need to wake me up this foggy Turkey Day Eve in Maryland.

EDIT: This went very well with my In Flames music choice this morning. :)
