Camomile, Honey and Vanilla

I’m not a huge fan of camomile tea, although I have been known to have a cup or two occasionally. This has a strong honey smell and taste, but I really have to concentrate to discern the vanilla. It’s a nice, soothing blend, if you like honey.

I generally dislike fancy-flavoured tea but this one caught my eye because I’m almost instantly sold on anything related to bees. Well, I’m mostly glad I took the plunge — this smells pleasantly of honey and vanilla, and because it doesn’t contain any caffeine, it’s nice for you to relax with, even late at night. I foresee this coming in very handy when I am struck with yet another bout of insomnia.

As per serving suggestions, I sweetened it with a teaspoon of Manuka honey and the result was something that tasted like … honey chrysanthemum tea … with a lingering vanilla aftertaste. I’m kinda neutral on this. I can drink it every now and then, but it probably wouldn’t be my beverage of choice if I could have proper tea instead.

This feels like such a redundant review.

This has been a full time residant of my tea cupboard for a few months now and is in my favourite teas of all time. Im not usually a fan of anything to floral or perfumed but I love camomile tea and drink it year round at anytime of day. This is by far my favourite, the flavors of vanilla and honey translate really well and help to bring out the sweet mellow flavors of the camomile. This tea is simple delicious and I will be repurchasing time and time again.

I never used to be a tea drinker, and I started on green tea. Then one day I opened my mailbox to find a 6-bag sample pack of Twinings teas – this was one of them. I loved it so much that I went straight out to the supermarket to buy 2 more bags.

I often have trouble getting to sleep at night, and find this tea calms me down a lot – I noticed I feel a lot less stressed and anxious when I drink it.

I leave the bag in so I can reuse it for 2-3 more mugs of tea.

I can’t say I really like this tea. I will admit I’m not the biggest fan of flavored tea, so take this note with a grain of salt I suppose.
