Decaf Vanilla

Description

Decaf Ceylon tea with natural vanilla. Decaffeinated using a natural CO-2 process, that allows leaves to retain their delicate shape and flavor.

Story

Vanilla story begins with the Totonaco Indians of Mexico, who were the first to unearth its secret. They fell to the Aztecs, who were in turn soon conquered by the Spaniard, under the leadership of Harnando Cortez. Cortez brought his precious plunder, including a few beans of vanilla, back to Spain. He also brought back cocoa. The two were mixed together, and the Spanish nobles spend the next hundred years indulging in the pleasant drink. It was only in the 17th Century that the taste of vanilla became valued on its very own.

"This tea was okay. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. I tried it with milk the first time and it kind of tasted like tea with coffee creamer in it. I am gonna try it plain next time I have it and see if there is any improvement. "

"Smells amazing and leaves a slight (yummy) aftertaste of marshmallows, but I'm having trouble finding a balance between weak and bitter."

"I'm not a fan of decaf teas, but I feel the need to find some decaf options for really late nights at the end of a long day. This is one of the only decaf black teas that I found that I enjoy the taste of, it doesn't have that watered down taste that a lot of decafs have."

"I drink the decaf vanilla at night, mixed with cream tea, milk & sugar. I can't tell a difference in taste from the regular vanilla. Vanilla smells good, no artificial taste like some vanillas."

"A good staple to mix with things. It works well enough on its own too."
