★★★☆☆

Not a bad tea by any means, but I found the vanilla flavor to be lacking something, perhaps a more creamy aspect

This is a good vanilla tea, although I wish that the vanilla came through a little bit stronger. Good for blending too.

Of the 'plain' teas sold here, this one's better. It lived up to its sweet name.

212 degrees for 4 minutes. A very nice mellow vanilla flavor blends with ceylon tea to make a pleasant drinking experience. This tea mixes great with other flavors like peach and chocolate.

This is a very solid cup of tea. The vanilla is not overpowering but it isn t too subtle. A bit of stevia or sugar enhances the flavor. It is also good mixed with assam melody if you want a slightly richer brew. @adagioteas

Excellent tea for after dinner or any time you are craving a little something sweet. Smooth, rich vanilla favor. No bitterness what so ever. Add a little cream and sugar and it's a desert all by itself.

A good black tea, but steeped at 212 it becomes very bitter. The vanilla flavor is very mild at 212 and at 195.

I'm more likely to drink this in a blend than on it's own. Just like in baking, a little vanilla added to almost anything seems to bring out the best in many flavors.

Love this tea for mixing. I prefer it's decaf counterpart if I'm drinking it alone, I feel that one has less bitterness, but this one is great for making my own concoctions at home.

It's vanilla, nothing really to say about it but it's good and high quality.

Many, many years ago, I fell in love with vanilla black tea. I lived in Germany back then and the vanilla tea I could buy at the open market each weekend, was pure bliss. Until late last year, when I found this vanilla tea from Adagio, I would have family members bring me vanilla tea every time one of them traveled back to Germany to visit family. I'll admit this one still isn't quite as good as the one from abroad, but it's very, very close. I'm so happy I've found it and it'll be on my favorites list for a long time.

A very good black tea with a lovely vanilla flavor. Perfect for drinking with cookies

★★★★☆

It's alright! Not the highest quality vanilla flavor, but not bad at all. The flavor is light.

★★★★☆

This is a pretty strong tea for me, but I would recommend it for those who really enjoy stronger black teas

This is my favorite everyday drinking tea. A nice smooth vanilla flavor, not too heavy.

Update - still my go to tea, love it for every day use, often a replacement for coffee. very fulfilling, in fact i think i'll go make some right now :)

This has been my morning go-to and I love it. It's a lovely black tea with just the right hint of vanilla. I've also brewed this as a cold tea and added fresh mint. Recommended!

Doesn't have a vanilla flavor, more just a black tea

★★★★★

This smells absolutely delicious, this smells like waking up in a wintery morning and it's snowing. Perfect

This is another great flavor from adagio. Will be in future purchases as well.

Big favorite in our house. Smooth vanilla flavor soothes the soul.

I really like vanilla flavored black teas, and this is no exception. Excellent natural vanilla flavor combined with a great black tea. I like this tea any time of the day anywhere from a cup to a large pot.

★★★★☆

This was generally pretty good. It's also a nice base for making your own chai by adding spices you like. Especially that way, it makes for a nice bubble tea (if you have the tapioca pearls for that). :)

You can really smell the vanilla flavor in this tea, most warm and comforting.

Perfect. A black tea with just enough vanilla that doesn't overpower.

This tea is a classic! It is perfect any time of the year.

Super tasty in a blend,however on its own I found it a bit much

3 min steep · 212°F · 8 helpful votes

The vanilla in this was subtle, but still came out nicely, adding a non-sugar sweetness to the (not too) bitter black tea. I like things extra sweet, so I added a little bit of honey, and it was delicious!

Soft and creamy black tea when you are looking for some simple black tea flavor. I love vanilla in my tea and this was one at the top of my list.

Not a huge fan, good vanilla flavor but strong odor that affects flavor.

★★★★★

Mixes really well with other flavors or with cream

★★★☆☆

The tea is alright. It is not as flavorful as I had hoped. And if you let it steep for more than exactly two minutes it has a terrible burnt/bitter taste. If you stop everything you are doing and watch the timer the tea is okay, but I feel like there are better options out there.

★★★★★

This tea has an amazing taste! Smooth and creamy even without any milk. I made a pitcher of this to keep in the fridge, using different flavor syrups to add more flavor. This tea makes a great base tea for making bubble tea. This is one of the many teas that I will buy again.

★★★★☆

Good but not quite enough vanilla flavoring for my tastes. When you first open the bag it definitely smells like vanilla a LOT, but the flavor dissipates quickly once you open the bag. So the initial cup is great but anything after that needs more vanilla

10 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

Definitely a yes. It blends well with pretty much everything. Enhances chocolate, coconut, butterscotch, almond, hazelnut, etc. We don't like it on it's own, but it is really good with cream tea.

★★★☆☆

Certainly not a bad tea, but the smell of the vanilla flavouring in this tea is a bit off to me- It still smells like vanilla, but a bit overwhelmingly sickly. Better after steeping, though I prefer Adagio's rooibos vanilla and would recommend that over this one.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

If you like vanilla this is perfect! Only used about 2/3rds of the recommend amount per serving. Make sure you keep the temp on the high side.

This cup is so smooth and sweet. Other people love to mix it. I will try that eventually, but I find it delicious plain

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

Good vanilla flavor, though a bit artificial. I think it would blend nicely with some cinnamon tea.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

This vanilla tea is wonderful. For a real treat mix it half and half with most teas. It is especially good with Mango, Irish breakfast, Peach, Assam Harmony and Melody.

★★★☆☆

The Vanilla is just 'okay' to me. And do NOT let it steep to long. It becomes bitter very quickly. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $ and get the Honeybush Vanilla. It's fantastic.

★★★☆☆

It's all right I guess. It isn’t the most accurate-tasting, but it's still sweet & warming.

★★★★★

What can I say, except delicious? I do admittedly prefer to blend this into other teas, but even alone, it is lovely.
