Great tea...I primarily use it for smoothing out other blends, but it's lovely on its own too!
Bright Ceylon tea with pure vanilla. Soothing and cozy, like warm sugar cookies made with fresh vanilla beans.

Great tea...I primarily use it for smoothing out other blends, but it's lovely on its own too!
Tastes even better if you mix it with the almond oolong tea
Smelled great when I opened the pouch, but the vanilla flavor was much more subtle than I expected. I enjoyed it though, it was a good cup of tea.
Super yummy and sweet. Very aromatic and calming. Get this tea, vanilla is always good.
I really enjoyed this though it did not taste as I expected it to. The vanilla taste is a lot more subtle than expected, which I ended up really loving.
This might be a sort of limited review review because I've never had this tea on it's own--only as an addition in different cold brews. It goes really well with flavored blacks (I've added it to strawberry and summer rose), imbuing a kind of light cream soda flavor. Lovely, and highly recommended.
Very nice and cozy. Simple, but very good when paired up with other teas like pumpkin spice and even my hazelnut tasted nice. I'm thinking of trying it with currant too. It is just a very nice very blendable tea. Harmless and kinda forgettable on its own, but good in mixing!
As others have mentioned the vanilla flavor is a little weaker than I expected, but it's still a great cup of tea. The warm vanilla scent permeates each sip. It also doesn't need much sweetner, which is an added bonus.
This tea is okay by itself but I prefer to drink it mixed in with other teas to give them a bit of flavor. This is a great mixing tea but doesn't stand well on its own.
Kind of bland, really. It'd probably be good mixed with another flavour, but on its own, it's nothing special. I got it as a free sample, though, so I can't really complain.
Pairs well with the cranberry. I've also mixed it with pumpkin spice. The flavor is not overpowering, but noticeable.
A warm, toasty tea with a subtle flavor. I like it blended with chocolate and fruit flavored black teas.
Delicious by itself, but it also is great for blending with fruit flavored teas, or nutty teas like blueberry, blackberry, or hazelnut!
I love to use the vanilla to mix with other teas to make my own blends. Seems like vanilla really could be blended with a lot of different teas and it is always fun to discover a new blend to mix on my own.
It's about what you would expect. If you want black tea with a hint of vanilla, then go for it! You already know whether or not you want it.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this vanilla tea on its own is fairly good - I only bought it in order to make blends using it, and hadn't even considered drinking it alone. Not too overpoweringly sweet, and genuinely tastes like vanilla. Very good when blended with other teas, such as strawberry, or raspberry.
Not my favorite on its own but great to add something extra to other black teas such as earl grey bravo, irish breakfast, or candy cane. Be careful not to overbrew.
A very good mix-in tea. I add it to chocolate, strawberry, coconut and almond to make wonderful mixes.
This tea is great! It smells sweet and with some sugar it tastes like a sugar cookie.
Oh my god the smell alone makes this tea worth buying. I'm almost tempted to sprinkle it anywhere in my house I would need an air freshener as just a small amount smells so strongly. The flavor is not nearly as strong, just a nice hint of vanilla added to your cup. I usually add a bit of sugar to my tea anyway so it makes a very nice flavor combination.
Really, what can be wrong about vanilla tea? It and cream are my go-to teas to sweeten up a blend.
Not much actual Vanilla flavor which was disappointing so i mixed it with a few other teas which made it better.
It is, what it is! :P Vanilla by itself is a little boring - but I use this blend in combination with other flavors especially fruity herbals and the flavor really compliments and in some cases tones down the herbal making them a little more bearable for my palate anyway. .)
What a wonderful flavor!! I loved how it smelled so lovely in the bag, but when brewed with just a touch of sugar (didn't need much because the vanilla flavor is sweet), it was even better!
Though I like this tea, I prefer the cream and will probably not order it again.
Leaf has a lovely aroma, but the actual tea retains little of the vanilla aroma or flavor. If you enjoy a subtle touch of something more with your ceylon, this may be a good choice. I've found it goes well in blends as well.
Smooth and delicious, this is a wonderful tea for blending, as it adds a slight sweetness to anything you blend it with. I have yet to try it on its own but I cant wait!
I ordered a sample of this hoping for a nice pure vanilla flavor but unfortunately it was so unnatural tasting and strong that I couldn't finish the cup. This was the first vanilla tea I've tried so maybe it's just me but it was just too strange and overwhelming and would need a lot more honey or sugar than I would want to put in to drink it.
In the bag it has a very strong vanilla smell, with some sugary undertones that make it smell very sweet. Once brewed, the taste is just a nice smooth vanilla that seems like it will be great blended with other flavors.
I love vanilla tea, and this one is nice - not overly strong or icky-sweet, nicely flavored, with the vanilla flavor not overpowering the basic black tea flavoring. It's nice by itself, or mixed with cream tea if you want something a little sweeter (and actually makes a nice base for mixing with pretty much anything. I particularly recommend the peach or apricot.)
Vanilla in tea is an abomination unto the lord, wherein 'the lord' is defined as 'me.'
This was a nicely balanced tea. Strong vanilla flavor, smooth tea, not harsh.
love this tea, better hot than cold I think. I have this quite a bit after dinner in the winter - almost as good as a dessert
This is a good tea. I was slightly worried that the vanilla would be too cloying, but it actually tastes natural instead of the chemical based fake vanilla I was expecting.
Like many others have said, I primarily drink this tea blended with another. So far I've had it mixed with wild strawberry and it was delicious! Planning on using it in some of my future blends!
A happy, extremely sweet scent and a pleasantly subdued vanilla tea. It's sweet enough that I could definitely drink it black, but certainly not cloyingly so.
The Honeybush Vanilla is slightly sweeter and more smoothing, and I slightly prefer it to the Vanilla black tea.
I use this tea mainly for mixing, I was expecting it to be sweet like the cream tea, but it just didn't live up to my expectations.
Vanilla is one of my favorite of the tea flavors. Definitely love using it in blends.
Tasty tea that is sweet and creamy. It blends well with fruit teas, such as blueberry!
A good tea, but not one I would drink by itself. I'm happier mixing it with a few others to make my own blends.
Ive yet to try this on its own, but mixed with other tea its delicious!
I can't tolerate this tea by itself, needs sugar to be even be drinkable. Might be good as a blending tea.
This is a smooth and decadent drink, good for brunch. I like to mix it with the Chocolate black tea in a 50/50 ratio.
Not a bad tea with some sugar and milk but definitely not the vanilla flavor I was searching for.
In reality, vanilla-flavored tea never quite seems to match up to what's in my imagination.
It's really better as a blending tea than on it's own. If I really want to drink a vanilla-flavored tea, I'd rather have the vanilla oolong instead.
I love Vanilla. Vanilla ice crea. Vanilla yogurt. And the list goes on. As such, I'm always up to trying teas that have a vanilla taste to them.
I've bought this tea twice and plan on buying it again. It has just a subtle taste of vanilla. if I want it to have more, I just add vanilla syrup.
It was surprisingly pleasant, but just not enough to say great.
This is not really the sort of tea you want to drink by itself. I bought it for blending and plan to use for blending. Alone, the flavor isn't really something I'd want a full pot of.
