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.

"The Vanilla aroma is that of a Vanilla Bean and not some average imitation flavoring. It is very strong...before, during, and after steeping. The coloring is wonderful. Since I am not usually a vanilla freak I was a tad afraid of what this would taste like based on the scent. After tasting...I have discovered that I LOVE it. Nicely done, Adagio!!"

"so i originally purchased this to see if i could duplicate, in a thrifty way, starbucks rooibos latte - and i think it was a great success! i liked mine with a little half-n-half, but found it naturally sweet enough on it's own. delicious."

"The rooibos is smooth and rich as always in Adagio's red blends. However, the vanilla flavor is more subtle and quieter than I prefer. I enjoy strong vanillas, and this isn't strong enough for me; I prefer the black vanilla in that regard. However for those who prefer a more subtle and quieter vanilla, this may be an excellent choice. An excellent relaxing tea for night."

"This tea is wonderful!! Easily one of my Adagio favourites. Vanilla & rooibos go together beautifully. The smell is quite strong at first, which had me a bit worried (I took it to a friend's house and the entire car smelled like vanilla), but the vanilla taste of the tea is recognizable without being overpowering. I love having a cup of this in the evening or before bed."

"Yummy! I'm not the biggest fan of rooibos but this brews up very nice. A nice sweet flavor that doesn't need additional sweetner. "

"This one was good but I think I was hoping for more vanilla flavor. If the flavor was a little stronger I would have fallen in love with this 'tea'. "
