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.

My Favorite!

Breakfast tea is delicious hot or iced. I use mesh tea spoons which allow me to brew twice. I always have this tea available. No more tea bags for me!

Delicious

This is my first cup of tea in the morning. It's so delicious, creamy and smooth. I enjoy it very much. It's relaxing but it has enough caffeine in it and energy in it to wake me up. Usually after this tea I move on to low country and I might have 2 cups of that. But this is the very first one I reach for in the morning, it's nice. It's nice. It's smokey and it's got it's just enough sweetness that I don't have to add much to it. I do add a little bit of cream and I gotta get off of it. But I do add a 1/2, a packet of Splenda and that's it. And I used to be a splendor hog so I'm doing good, but it's just so the tea itself is just so. I don't know, it's so hard. It's just smooth and silky and nice. It's like it's just perfect to wake up with.
