I’m continually searching for a vanilla tea that is heavy on the vanilla without tasting artificial. This tea smells great, very much vanilla and caramel covered tea leaves. It also smells amazing while steeping, but I’m concerned that like every other vanilla tea I’ve had this will fall short.
I added my customary splash of milk and drop of sweetener that all my black teas I drink at breakfast have the priviledge of receiving. The tea does taste like vanilla. It is pretty nice and does not taste artificial. This is probably one of the better vanilla teas I have had, but I’ll have to see if the strength of the vanilla continues throughout the rest of the sample I have. Other vanilla blacks seem to be hit and miss throughout the bag. This rating is based on the cup of tea I’m enjoying now, but is subject to change in the coming weeks.
