“This one just isn’t for me, after trying it twice. I don’t like the vanilla flavor here and it just isn’t good with the base… Ceylon again. Or something that tastes like Ceylon. Tasting notes...” Read full tasting note

“Vanille” flavored black tea
A blend of black teas with vanilla, heliotrope and biscuit flavours, embellished with vanilla cuts and flower petals. This soft and sweet infusion with warm and biscuits scents can be enjoyed with milk.
Brewing time: 4 to 5 minutes
This does have quite a powerful vanilla aroma. It doesn’t smell like a whiff out of a vanilla extract bottle, but it is close. At first, before I opened the bag, I could smell the vanilla. It reminded me of vanilla milk – but that was before I opened the bag. The tea is actually much stronger than that. I brewed it for a long time the first time I tried it, because I was brewing a large to-go cup of it. It didn’t get bitter, and the vanilla was still quite strong. I think it could hold up to milk and sugar with no problems.
Another sample! I thought it would be nice to try Dammann’s plain vanilla black tea, since I am used to trying all of their various multi-flavor blends.
Let me tell you, I don’t think I have ever smelled a dry tea leaf that smelled more boozy than this one! It pretty much smells like straight up vanilla extract. INTENSE. The booziness goes mostly away in the steeped tea, and then it just smells like a vanilla bomb. It smells like the tub of Madagascar vanilla beans in my cupboard at home. It also smells like a nice black tea; I can smell their characteristic Ceylon/Chinese base shining through as well.
Once again, I find myself drinking a very tasty cup of tea. Strong, rich vanilla, with an aftertaste like you were just eating vanilla candy. What this one is missing is the super creaminess. I know Fleurilège is a vanilla hazelnut tea, but it is almost more vanilla-y to me than this one because of the creaminess. This one comes out a tiny bit flat. Still, I find it very tasty, lots of sweet vanilla, smooth and tasty base. Glad to have a bit of this one to try!
Flavors: Vanilla
you are killing me here, your last 3 tasting note teas have gone on my wishlist.
You’re making me want to get off my butt and place a DF order already. :)
Lol, sorry? :D
Haha well I’ve been putting off an order forever. You know, the classic, “I can’t order from X until I finish this other load of tea I have in front of me” but that order keeps getting pushed back.
I know the feeling, that kept happening with this order.
I just got this in the mail, so I’m glad you have your reviews. I ordered this and Fleurilege, so I will enjoy comparing the two.
