Backlog from a few days ago.

This is such a great morning tea – not too overwhelmingly flavored, but still, not a plain black. The equivalent of a French Vanilla coffee, if you will.

I love it with a splash of creamer – that brings out the vanilla caramel notes so well and pairs perfectly with the base. It doesn’t have quite as much as the brisk boldness a plain CTC or Assam does but the softness of the vanilla rounds it out in a different way. This is more of a tea to take your time drinking and wake up slowly to.

Which works for me as those are my favorite kinds of wake ups. Lovely and a consistently good cup as always.

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

My tea habits:

*I am an unashamed Lipton iced-tea drinker (mass quantities, year round).
*I like hot teas but only in cold weather (and occasionally late summer nights or mornings).
*I love Japanese greens (the more seaweed-y the better) and good strong malty black teas.
*I do NOT love smoke in any form.
*Vanilla, cinnamon, or lemon anything will usually pique my interest.
*I’m working on pu-erh but it’s definitely going to take some time to grow on me.
