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.
Ingredients
assam black tea, ceylon black tea, vanilla pieces, formosa lapsang souchong black tea, natural vanilla flavoring

As Seen On
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.
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.

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
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.

I would look forward to getting up in the morning knowing that it was going to start off with a hot cup of tea 🍵..
