Breakfast - Smoky Vanilla Black Tea

$13.75
Size

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’s good

I think I liked the Passage tea so much that’s why I only gave this one 3 stars. It was good but not delicious like passage.

Lovely late morning tea

A well-balanced tea - dark but lighter than a hearty breakfast tea.

Delicious tea but vanilla is weak

This tastes a lot like the malty black tea to me (which I think is fabulous). I thought the vanilla would be more pronounced.
