Combray: Vanilla Cardamom Green Tea

$13.75
Size

Tastes Like: pound cake, vanilla, grass, warm hay, hazelnut
Feels Like: unforgettable cakes in the countryside

The intoxicating scent of this tea conjures velvety cake on an afternoon in the countryside. Soft, sugar-laden butter glides across the tongue to meet tiny aromatic vanilla seeds apparent in the bottom of the cup. Intense vanilla is balanced by the earthy depth of cardamom and green tea. This tea is a modern take on Proust's tea-soaked Madeleine.

Rich and comforting

A great flavor combination when I want something rich but not too sweet.

Delightful for a green tea!

I am not a fan of green tea, but this is so delightful! Light vanilla and cardamon make it tasty. I did get in bags for convenience, and the bags are really full of leaves, easily makes two brews.

Very smooth and no bitterness

Most Green tea I've tried needed some kind of sweetener to off set the bitterness. This tea is very smooth and I don't anything added once it's brewed.

Yummy!

This is my new favorite green tea. It’s soothing, delicious and comforting. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the same old store-bought green tea.
