Description

According to the International Ice Cream Association, Vanilla is by far the most popular flavor, getting a full 23% of all ice cream consumption. Inspired by this love of vanilla, Adagio has created Vanilla Green Tea. Combining the delectable flavor of sweet vanilla beans and delicate Chinese green tea, I'll scream, you'll scream, we'll all scream for... Vanilla Green!

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 Harnando 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.

"Imagine vanilla ice cream fused with a green tea. This is what I think that would be like and it is very good."

"I am completely in love with this. Just the perfect balance of sweet and earthy, and with a sort of cleanliness that I usually associate with green teas. May very well be my favorite so far."

"This is a very mild green tea with a vanilla kicker. The vanilla does not overpower the tea itself. I found it a bit weak if using instructions (add more leaves) and don't oversteep. "

"My favorite green tea on the site by far. I personally like to mix it with a bit of cocomint tea and add a dash of honey. My morning tea."
