Yuck. The black tea used in this totally ruins it. It’s abrasive and somewhat bitter, and the vanilla is only present in the aftertaste. I didn’t even get the pretty vanilla smell that everyone else has commented on.

Another one dislikes the Vanilla Bean! :( I feel like vanilla is SO hard to nail in tea. Sorry the black wasn’t even up to your liking, either!

Haha, it’s crazy how similar the reviews are for this. SpecialTeas has a Madagascar vanilla blend that’s pretty good, but it’s too sweet for me. I wish I could find something that was like that, but more mellow.

Auggy sent to me Colonille by SerendipiTEA that was really mellow and lovely. I have a review of it, as do Auggy and takgoti. It’s a gentle, subtle type of vanilla, not overly sweet, and mixed with an almost raw cocoa taste that comes from the Vietnamese black base. It’s super-good!

I think it’s pretty much unanimous among Steepsterites on this one.

I’m (almost) always up for a trade, so comment on a tasting note if you’re interested. I try to keep my cupboard up to date.

I’m a 23 year-old grant writer who loves having a good strong tea by my side as I write. I love The Mountain Goats, cooking, the Steelers, writing, beer, and singing in my office band.
