Before steeping – smells like Vanilla and Almond…more Almond than Vanilla
After steeping – smells like both Vanilla and Almond – about equally.
Color is dark brown
Taste -
This one really surprised me. Just when I think I have The Tea Nation figured out…they throw me a curve! This is a nicely flavored black tea…VERY smooth! The Vanilla and Almond are both present when it comes to taste – I think there maybe a little more vanilla than Almond. Smooth all the way thru the sip on to the aftertaste! Nice Flavored Black for the morning!
