VANILLA ORCHID: High altitude Biodynamic Darjeeling with Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Bean
Company description not available.
Fresh out of the individually wrapped package this has a very enchanting scent to it. Both Vanilla and Orchid-esque. Very fairy-tale like. After steeped…much of the scent disappears and you can smell a little black tea with barely-there vanilla. It brews dark. It’s a solid black tea with a very little bit of vanilla and a very little bit of floral notes. Not bad at all.
A nice Darjeeling base with just a touch of vanilla. The tea in the sachet expanded quite a bit, unlike several others. Slightly floral and very mild in astringency. The vanilla is soft and sweet. A yummy cup on a freezing morning. My hands are too cold to type more. My office needs to throw another lump of coal on the fire. Damn, it’s like A Christmas Carol in here!
I had breakfast with my friend this morning and picked this tea bag (which I had actually given to her) in hopes of possibly having a different experience. I honestly didn’t notice any of the vanilla or any kind of floral element to the tea. The only flavor that stood out was that of the Darjeeling, which isn’t necessarily bad, but this is supposed to be a Vanilla Orchid tea blend, not plain Darjeeling. Too bad that even this second experience was uneventful. No more Zhena for me!
