Orphia drank East Frisian Sunday Tea (TB54) by Upton Tea Imports

95 tasting notes

I have a love-hate relationship with vanilla teas. Sometimes I love them, far too often they taste like canned cake frosting and I hate them. Figuring I might have better luck with a tea that just had vanilla pieces in it as opposed to all sorts of added flavorings, I decided to try this.

I’m glad I only bought a sample. I wouldn’t say I hate it, but it’s not exactly great either. It’s…alright. Drinkable, but not remarkable, and not something I’d buy more of. The vanilla gives it a sweet note without being obnoxious, but the tea itself had a nasty bitterness when it cooled. Maybe I’ll change my mind with different steep times and some sugar, but for now I’m really not impressed.

Even though my profile picture’s the worgen crest, rest assured my heart belongs to the Horde.

I’m a gamer girl who drinks a lot of tea. My tastes tend heavily towards black tea, though I won’t turn down a nice green or white either.

I stay away from most herbals because far too many of them have hibiscus. I find hibiscus disgusting. Nor am I a fan of rooibos; the taste has to be pretty heavily masked for me to drink it. Usually if I’m drinking a tisane it’s something purely floral like lavender, or rose buds, or chrysanthemum.

I’ll almost always put sugar in my tea, unless it’s something that really doesn’t work well with it (I will never ever add sugar to lapsang souchong again) or something that honestly doesn’t need it or would be ruined by it, like most unflavored greens or whites.
