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.

Vanilla is not plain

It is smooth with a perfect touch of roasted spice flavor. It is exotic and pleasant

Beautiful tea, perfect for autumn.

This is a perfect green tea. Its light, and the vanilla and cardamom do not overpower the tea. This is one I will buy the tin and and come back to all season.

Not for me

I wanted to love this, but I just didn't dig it. I think it's more of a me issue than the tea itself because friends of mine loved it.
