vanilla oolong
Fresh sugar cookies, anyone? Wait, let's not get ahead of ourselves. So, we start with much-celebrated, naturally sweet oolong from Taiwan. The more oxidized types, such as this one, are layered with warm, bakey and often fruity notes like peaches or plums. The warm dark sugar quality of vanilla bean adds a perfect flavor and texture element to this already complex tea. So, cookies? Well, that's just one of several soft, sugary goodies that came to mind when tasting this cup. Brown sugar and honey notes, great depth of flavor, smooth mouthfeel, lingering fragrance - sounds like dessert to us!Steep at 212° for 3-5 minutes.

ingredients & lore
blended with oolong tea and natural vanilla flavor
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.
