Due to the extra large size of the bean and high vanillin content, we found 3/4 to 1 Vanilla bean appropriate for a sensational vanilla tea experience. A full expression of the vanilla’s unique character with a background of Ceylon mountain leaf and light tannins.
Note: Leave the vanilla bean in the tea after steeping. The nose is absolutely glorious, there is no substitute for fresh high grade vanilla (raw & organic) and your senses awaken for the treat.
When adding sugar, you find a multiplier of the vanilla profile’s flavor giving sweeter highlights to key vanilla notes that we all enjoy with a background of unique Ceylon depth. It really speaks to the overall quality of the vanilla bean and tea leaf combination.
