I received a sample of this from ashleyelizabeth in our swap. Thank you!

This tea seems to be very popular so I was very excited to try it. I have had some good vanilla teas. A few that come to mind are Butiki, Caramel Vanilla Assam, Gong Fu Tea Shop Cream Assam, and Assam Tea Company Vanilla Ginger. I was hoping this would at least be able to be a hold its own, but not so much. The base, a decaf base, was meh and no matter how hard I tried the vanilla just didn’t come out as strong as I would have liked it. I am glad I got to try this, but it was a no go for me.

I’m not a big fan of vanilla teas to being with, but this one reminds me a lot of a diluted cake batter flavor. It was still fun to try.

I ordered a bunch of sample packs of decaf teas from H&S and unfortunately I’m only getting two cups out of each sample, so I have only drank this twice.

This tea has a very sweet smell and taste. It’s very distinctly vanilla, but maybe too much? I say that because I find it tastes kind of chemically, but that could be the stevia that I added to it both times. I should have tried it once without it but didn’t. I liked this enough that I would order another sample just to see.

I learned a “trick” if you ever want to order samples from H&S again. There sample pouches are $2. If you call the H&S store in NY and place an order you can get 2oz of loose leaf tea for $3. I ordered a bunch of their flavored blacks this way. I am not sure who I learned this from, but it was someone here on Steepster.

Another from the Caffeine Free TTB. I’ve recently discovered that I really like Harney & Sons so to try this very often talked about tea was a treat! It was very basic in the nicest way possible, truly. All I really got was vanilla and the smooth, tasty black base and that’s all I needed to get. Nothing more, nothing less. I could see this being consistently delicious and relaxing. I think, therefore, that I have found the first tea that I want to keep stocked in my cupboard!

Bought a few sachets of this on our most recent Harney’s trip. It’s very yummy. Lots of vanilla flavor but still traditional tea flavor. Would purchase more if I didn’t have so much tea in the cabinet.

Backlog.

Got a cup of this after work last week while out with a friend. It smelled amazing in the tin and I was so excited to have a rich, vanilla tea.

This steeped up to a forgettable black tea — it was smooth and didn’t need any sweetener, but it didn’t wow me like I thought it would.

This is nice, if a little weak. It’s great for nighttime when I want a black tea but don’t want the caffeine. I wish the vanilla came through a bit more. Not bad, but not incredible.

Backlog – I ordered this from Harneys and didn’t like it initially. Tried it again a couple of weeks ago and have been really enjoying it. The vanilla taste is great, the scent is so soothing and with a bit of cream and a little rock sugar, it is a really nice evening treat. The best decaf I have found so far. I been going through at least one large mug each night.

I have the sachets and find I can use only one and still make a generous mug. I had these vanilla stir sticks ( sadly gone now ) which really boosted the flavour. This tea is re-order for me for sure, this is one I will always want to have on hand for evening sipping.

Hm. I feel like all the teas I’ve tried lately have tasted off, and this is no different. With my standard splash of milk, this tastes a bit like I put liquid coffeemate in it. It’s not quite right.
