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

The story of vanilla 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 Spaniards, under the leadership of Hernando Cortez. Cortez brought his precious plunder, including a few beans of vanilla, back to Spain. Vanilla beans are the fruit of an orchid which blooms for only one day each year. Because of this, and also because the flowers must be hand-pollinated, vanilla is the second most expensive spice on earth, after saffron.

"I love vanilla tea! This would have gotten a great except I felt like it was a bit weak flavored. I guess I will have to use a bit more. I would order this again for sure!"

"I love vanilla flavored teas - and this decaf does not disappoint. Much to my surprise, it tastes much like the caffeinated alternative. Very yummy!"

"Always good, though I find myself mixing it with other teas to give them a bit of vanilla flavor without going overboard on caffeine."
