Really like this tea! I could smell and taste the vanilla, but unlike some other flavoured black teas the smell was not overpowering. I liked the look of it with the gold balls and sugar crystals. I didn’t really taste the cinnamon or cloves so I wouldn’t have known those were part of the tea if I didn’t read it in the description. I like to drink my tea with milk, and while this tea didn’t give a strong colour, it could still support a touch of milk. I think this is a good tea for an occasional treat. But knowing me, wouldn’t want to have it too often so that I don’t get tired of it. Addendum: I had it again with a longer steeping time (more like 5 or 5:30) and it improved it for me. A nice caffeine kick too from the black tea. This is a keeper.
