Vanilla Oolong

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 Oolong Tea. Combining the delectable flavor of sweet vanilla beans and fresh Formosa oolong tea from Taiwan, I'll scream, you'll scream, we'll all scream for... Vanilla tea!

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.

"I'm not sure if I made it incorrectly, but the vanilla flavor was very overbearing. Will try brewing again and adding more sugar."

"Vanilla oolong is my favorite of all the teas but for some reason doesnt work out well using the ingenuiTea but in a larger device it is perfect."
