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.

    It was just OK - Smoke might not be for me

    I got this to see if it could replace another Black Vanilla tea I get from France, and unfortunately, it wasn't for me. It was just too smoky, couldn't really capture the vanilla, and was also slightly more tannic than the tea I was trying to replace. I don't really enjoy the aroma, either, so it just won't be something I find myself drinking even if it won't replace the French tea.

    Great flavor and you can get a couple “steeps” per serving. New to tea but enjoying the teas and little starter equipment set.
