Full review on http://sororiteasisters.com/ on the 11th of April but here are the snippets:
Vanilla Sky from Steep City Teas is their version of what many of you may know as Monk’s Blend.
There is a trick to this tea however, and it fairs far better when iced. I do not find this to be as true with Monk’s blend from a couple other companies I have tried, but with Steep City’s Vanilla Sky it is so much better when you let it cool to a room temp or even slightly cool. The vanilla flavor comes out so much stronger, and the grenadine is more present as well.
This is not a tea for everyone, I have seen many reviews for other companies Monk’s Blend get varied reviews – more of a love it or hate it, to middle of the road, meh type of tea. What I have found however may change some people’s opinions of this blend. Also I have seen that many people just don’t care for grenadine. Regardless if you have this tea, from Steep City or another vendor in your stash, give it a try cooled, or even iced or cold brewed in your fridge.
I will say, this is by far, not my favorite tea from Steep City Teas, they have some blends that are out of this world, but I can see why they would want this in their offerings, because it is a rather well known blend.

Vanilla Sky just seems like a lovely name for a tea.
Seconding how lovely the name is!
Thanks guys, it seems this may be the only doozy in our stock that people aren’t really enjoying. May be the last time we blend it.
Could not hurt and I am always happy to give it a second go around as well. David its not BAD its just not AS amazing as your other teas which are really out of this world!
