★★★★★

Sweet and bold, perfect blend in my opinion. Can't wait to order more

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

A very sweet and delicious tea to drink in the evening

★★★★★

Love this tea combined in a tea latte with almond milk and a touch of cinnamon.

★★★☆☆

Pleasant smell, and smooth, both has a tinge of that astringent black tea flavor.

★★★★★

Great tea on it’s own but I mix it with other tea that I find a little bitter and it gives it a good balance for me.

★★★★★

Smell of dry leaves was disappointing after trying the Cream Black Tea yesterday. The Cream tea has a vivid smell of cream when I opened the bag so I was hoping for a sweet vanilla smell when opening this one and it wasn't there. The vanilla does show up more once it's steeped though. Once steeped I'd say it's a very smooth black tea. Only needed 1 sweetener pack for my 10oz mug which was nice. Kept the first steeping to the 3 minutes recommended and was able to do a second steeping too. Second one was lighter in color and somewhat in flavor too but still nice. I'd order this tea again.

I haven't tried it by itself. I love mixing it with my Earl Grey Bravo for a different flavor experience. I drink it without cream or sugar most times. I have added a few amber sugar crystals at times for a bit of sweetness.

I use this tea to make a blend of Gingerbread, Grapefruit, Oriental Spice and Vanilla (4 equal parts of each) - it's DELICIOUS!

★★★★☆

It s exactly as advertised. If you want a nice black tea with a splash of vanilla, it s a good choice.

★★★☆☆

Not the best. Kind of a weird flavor, and not super vanilla tasting.

★★★☆☆

I had hoped for ore of a natural vanilla flavoring and it wasn't there for me.

★★★★☆

This is great flavored vanilla brewed alone and when combined with other flavors enhances a smooth blend.

★★★★☆

Not my favorite flavored tea. A subtle buttery vanilla flavor, but more strongly a nice smooth black tea flavor.

★★★★★

This is so so good. It has a light vanilla flavor that is perfect.

★★★★☆

A good vanilla tea without the cloying fake vanilla flavor of other brands.

★★★★☆

A good, basic, lightly flavored tea. I find it needs to be enjoyed while warm to hot. As the tea cools the vanilla somehow turns a little bitter. Nice with hot almond milk and honey.

★★★☆☆

The tea has a strong and sweet-smelling scent but sadly falls short in taste. It was just okay.

★★★★★

I am picky about vanilla flavored black teas, but this was really excellent. It's nice a smooth and a good vanilla scent and taste is quite complementary to the black tea.

★★★☆☆

A nice hint of sweet vanilla flavour. If you use lighteners, a vanilla almond milk would give you about as much, though. Might be a good mixer with other flavours like cinnamon or chocolate.

very weak flavour. was hoping for a stringer flavour. also quite astringent

I use to make my tea lattes. Great vanilla flavor.

★★★★☆

Nice tasting vanilla flavoring in this black tea.

★★★★★

I mixed this with the cherry black tea and it turned into a very lovely blend.

★★★☆☆

Isk if I’m just preparing this tea wrong or something, but I really don’t like it. The vanilla flavor is extremely subtle and the tea had a very dry and almost sour aftertaste even with added milk and sugar. It wasn’t absolutely disgusting and it was a lot better with added milk and sugar, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it again

★★★★★

nice supplemental tea to add some vanilla flavors

★★★★★

Delicious - I use it interchangeably with cream for tea lattes.

★★★☆☆

The vanilla flavor in this is medicinal, not sugar cookie like as it’s described and not made better by cream and sugar. Unfortunate, as I usually love vanilla.

★★★★★

Amazing flavor. Great aroma, very enjoyable hot or cool.

★★★★★

I didn't know if I would like this one - but I do! Smooth and balanced.

★★★★★

My husband never thought he would like tea. After one cup of Vanilla tea he has been hooked. He can't go a morning without it.

★★★★★

Very flavorful and tasty strong vanilla flavored tea

★★☆☆☆

This has a weird artificial aftertaste that I did not like at all. I won't even finish it.

★★★★☆

Good tea either hot or iced. Make it by the pot using my VelociTEA Tea Maker by Adagio!

★★★★★

just the right amount of vanilla flavor-not too sweet but sweet enough

★★★★★

This is a wonderful tea as a base, but I don't drink it on its own. It pairs well with just about any other tea.

★★★★☆

A little of this goes a long way! I made a 2L pitcher filled it halfway to cold brew this tea, and it was so strong that when I added a second liter of water it was easier to notice the vanilla flavor. Too much and its very intense and a bit bitter almost. I think I used 2 or 3 level 15ml scoops for 2L of cool water in the fridge overnight.

absolutely wonderful with or without a light dash of cream. Very smooth and soothing!!

★★★☆☆

not the best vanilla tea I've ever had, it starts a little artificial tasting but if you keep drinking it starts to taste like a creamy black tea.

★★★☆☆

The vanilla flavor in this black tea is fairly subtle, I think I may prefer a vanilla oolong to this flavored ceylon.

★★★★☆

The vanilla profile in this is perhaps a but more subtle than I would like, but very good nonetheless, particularly with cream and sugar.

★★★★☆

very good. Mild vanilla flavor, will buy again. Perfect when studying

★★★★★

This tea is wonderful! I mixed it with the almond to make my own version of vanilla-almond tea.

I love flavored black teas. Vanilla is especially good when you add a little milk.

★★★★★

It's a little weak on it's own but I often add it to another to tea to create some depth of flavor

★★★★☆

An ordinary but decent vanilla. Smooth, blended well.

★★★★☆

Delicious vanilla flavor. No after taste like some other tea companies.

★★★★★

Well rounded black tea with a subtle vanilla flavor. Makes a great iced tea on a hot summer day.

I bought this to add to the candy apple tea( which I loved) unfortunately this tasted very bitter even though I only steeped it for 2 minutes.

★★★★★

This is my favorite tea ever. I actually wrote Lipton when they stopped carrying/making their version of Vanilla Black tea as i was so disappointed to not be able to buy it any more. Then i came here, joined the 6.99 subscription and my VERY first box had this tea. I bought a large bag of this tea immediately after.

★★★★★

I love this tea! I first tried the decaf version, and it was delicious, but I was told the caffeinated version definitely had more vanilla flavor. I'm not sure, I think they're a out the same, but the taste is a tiny bit stronger. I want to drink this every day.
