Another new tea to try!
One of the things I’ve noticed lately is that while vanilla flavours in tea sound like a good idea, they’re really hit and miss for me. So far, the best example I’ve had of vanilla in tea was DT’s Earl Grey Cream. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this tea, but it did smell lovely when dry.
Right now, as brewed, my opinions are mixed. I waited too long after it cooled down to start drinking it, and when I did, I ate some other strongly-flavoured food that drowned out the taste in my mouth. When I finished my food and drank the tea in earnest, there was a really weird taste to it. I don’t know for sure if it was the vanilla, but the last time I tasted something similar it was from a vanilla-laced green chai which I didn’t enjoy.
I might also have understeeped this. Will re-evaluate once I drink it without any other foods affecting my palate.
