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 Tea. Combining the delectable flavor of sweet vanilla beans and Rooibos herbal tea, I'll scream, you'll scream, we'll all scream for... Vanilla tea! Naturally caffeine-free, so enjoy it anytime of the day!

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.

"Nomnomnom! Seriously, I haven't yet had a roobios flavor from adagio that didn't taste awesome. Again, I'm recommending this for people who like sweet teas, and especially people who like to cream it up. "

"As with the honeybush hazelnut tea, the downside--what brings it from "great" to simply "good"--is that I have to use a little more than double the usual amount to get a good flavor in the cup. It just doesn't stand up well to my splash of soymilk & stevia, but it doesn't taste very good on its own, either. The rating here is really for the value rather than the taste. The taste is delicious once you calibrate correctly--I have it several times per week."

"The rooibos vanilla is my favorite "mellow out" tea. I love having a cup of it to unwind after a long day. The vanilla in this one is not overpowering. I like adding a little honey and half and half."

"I thought the vanilla might be stronger in this than it was, and the rooibos seems a little bitter by comparison. The rooibos stands out more than the vanilla does, but it is a decent after dinner dessert-type tea."

"Maybe I just don't like rooibos as much as I thought, but this tea tasted pretty plain to me. It is soothing though when you're sick."

"This tea is mild and delicious. The vanilla makes it taste great alone or mixed with other flavors, especially the fruit flavors. It is especially good with honeybush orange. "
