Breakfast

Smoky Vanilla Black Tea

Rated 4.5 out of 5
Based on 219 reviews

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.

Delightful Vanilla flavor

When I take a little break from Earl Grey tea, I will do an english breakfast. I do like the taste of vanilla, and this version didn't feel overpowering at all. I really enjoy the taste, and with steamed milk it's a delightful addition to breakfast.

Pretty OK

If you like Vanilla, this is the tea for you. I totally agree that this is made to be made with milk. As someone who doesn't drink milk or like a strong vanilla flavor, I didn't enjoy it.

The only way to wake up

I love English Breakfast tea and this is a great take on it. The vanilla flavor comes through so well and the contrast with the tea is beautiful. It blooms on the tongue

A Bit TOO Vanilla-y

So, upon opening the bag, the aroma is pretty sweet and strong. It offers a dark liquor, and when you take your first sip, that vanilla hits you like a punch in the face, which, if you like vanilla, then it should be right up your alley. I didn't get any of the smokiness, in my cup, so this just isn't my cup of tea. My friend with whom I was sharing a pot, was of the same mindset, that it is just too much vanilla. However, please don't let this review deter you from trying this tea. YOU might find it pleasing to your own personal palette. This is my personal opinion towards the Breakfast Tea, and you can take it, or leave it. I was recommended this tea, by a fellow tea lover, who absolutely loves this tea, and always has some in her house. But personally, I will be happy when my sample bag is empty.
