French Vanilla Tea

… there’s almost no flavor… I taste milk… and it’s brown but I don’t think this tea is tea
It’s more like colored water that smells like vanilla

I’m confused. It kind of tastes like a mild chai. Smells like vanilla, but doesn’t really taste like it. I even tried it with some sugar, and then it tasted like a mild sweet chai. And by mild, I mean weak.

Hmm, I don’t know what I was expecting from this tea. But what I got was not great. I think what added to the disappointment was that I was coming off of a great pu-erh, so I was on a tea high, then this bummed it all out.

This can easily be called the worst tea I have ever tried. It tastes of a disgustingly sweet vanilla. I taste a bit of milk. However, there is no tea taste. Just from taste it would be impossible to tell it was a black tea at all. The sweetness just adds to how bad it really is.

You might like this tea if you enjoyed watching Two Girls One Cup because it feels like warmed vomit going down your throat. I don’t think anyone would(or could) drink this completely.

If I was stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean with no way to purify any seawater and all I had to drink was a gallon of this tea I would simply drink as much seawater to make my life end short so I would never be put into the situation where I actually contemplate drinking this pathetic excuse for tea.

On my first sip I spit back into the cup hoping it would just go away. On my second sip I took the down it quick and don’t think about it approach. On my third sip my gag reflex kicked in and I decided I might as well pour it down the sink.

So in recap, DON’T drink it.

It smells amazing when you brew it, but there isn’t much flavor, and that’s disappointing. :(
