Tastes Like: vanilla custard, shortbread cookie, burnt toast
Feels Like: morning in a grand hotel

Our version of English Breakfast has exquisite Assam and Ceylon black teas with smoky lapsang souchong and vanilla bean. The aroma of warm vanilla custard fills your nose from the first sip of this velvety tea. Next, there's a pleasantly tannic bite with a gentle smokiness of ever-so-slightly burnt toast. Finally, the vanilla flavor returns as an intense note of freshly scraped vanilla bean. This delicate smoky vanilla flavor lingers. It’s made to be enjoyed with milk, but if you appreciate smoke, we suggest drinking it black. This tea will make you get out of bed.
A tea for lovers of malty sweet teas.

    One of my faves

    Okay, this is one of my favorites. It is definitely one of my daily go to’s. What I like doing with this tea though it is great by itself is mixing the leaves with some of my other favorites! Yum and totally relaxing!

    Nice but wish vanilla was stronger

    This is a nice smooth black tea that has a subtle smokiness that is not too overpowering. Unfortunately the vanilla flavor is not quite as strong as I'd like, so keep that in mind if you're looking for an in-your-face vanilla tea.

    The vanilla adds just enough warmth while the smokiness gives it depth without tasting heavy or bitter. It’s incredibly smooth and easy to drink, especially first thing in the morning. A great everyday black tea with a twist.

    Smoky Vanilla Review

    This tea is bold, smooth and flavorful all at the same time. And the second steep is equally as good!
