This slightly astringent black tea is blended with Osmanthus, a small flower, originally from China, reminiscent of peaches which is often used for steeping. We also added premium, dried vanilla beans. The infusion is smooth and fruity, without being overly intense or sweet. Well worth a try!
Steeping time: 2-3 min
Water temperature: 95°C
Up to 2 infusions

Sampled from the TTB, and I might have to keep some of it! This is so tasty. I wasn’t expecting much because the scent of the dry leaf was verging on that almost artificial vanilla cake scent that can be a bit cloying, but happily the tea itself has a much more refined vanilla flavor. It’s a light but true vanilla, subtle but present.
I don’t think I’ve ever had osmanthus before, and I’m not quite sure I can pinpoint the flavor in this blend—I guess it’s the kind of floral note? Regardless, it works very well with the vanilla. Yum!
Flavors: Floral, Vanilla
Adventaggedon Day Eight – 4/5
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again – this may just be my favourite vanilla black tea. It was really nice to see it pop up today as my selection; having something not just familiar but familiar and beloved was the win I needed after a week that felt almost endless. I drank it with some holiday cookies and it was just aromatic, indulgent, authentic vanilla perfection balanced with a pleasant note of osmanthus.
Mostly I just care about the vanilla in it though.
