I love a vanilla tea, and this one is my favorite, not too much vanilla, nice smooth tea flavor when brewed no more than 3 minutes. I have ruined this one enough times by brewing too long to make sure to set the timer when I make a cup of this. I can hardly wait to order this one again.

Nice tea - smooth & rich, but there really isn't much vanilla taste. If you just want a tiny (and I mean tiny) hint of vanilla, then this is your tea. If you are looking for something more vanilla tasting, you may need to keep looking.

Too much Vanilla!! If want vanilla just to make that subtil difference and make you black more "cosy", you'll have to blend this one with two parts of a regular black (I'd recomend Keemun). Alone, it really tastes like a strong caramel-vanilla flavored black.

A little robust in flavor. (OK, so maybe I'm a little wimp.) A nice black tea I find really good in the evening. Personally, (OK, so I know it's a little strange) I like the lead with 2 teaspoons of chocolate Cool Whip. It goes really well with the Vanilla and mellows out the strength.

I was looking for a breakfast tea with a little flavor and I found it! This is the tea to get. You can clearly taste the smooth vanilla taste. This tea is rich in flavor and in color. It is great with milk and sugar.

WOW, this is a great one. Smooth, not too bold and no bitterness what so ever. The hint of vanilla just finishes this perfectly. This has become one of my favorite black teas.

A rich and delicious tea almost like a cross between a sweet hazelnut coffee and a vanilia milkshake. I find myself looking forward to getting up to enjoy it with milk, sweetener, and a crumpet.

I loved this tea! It reminded me of the tea I had when I went to Germany as a youth (oddly enough, I was in East Friesland, and the East Friesian blend here is not what I remember, this is!). I had it and I didn't realize it was a vanilla blend tea, the vanilla was that subtle to me. Great with sugar as the sweetness brings out the vanilla flavor well, though milk is a little overpowering for it. It's such a great, delicate tea.

This is not a super-flavored tea. The vanilla is really mellow, and the flavor blends seamlessly with the tea. Does not have that really "surface" flavor that many flavored teas do. A wonderful breakfast alternative for those who want something a little lighter and sweeter than an English Breakfast. Very good tea!

A great tea for someone new to tea - you can brew it for 5 or more minutes and end up w/ a strong morning drink w/o the bitterness of coffee. Vanilla is not at all over done. Great w/ cream. Does not need sugar.

I don't like flavored teas in general, but this is a well-balanced, sophisticated blend. It reminds me of the smell of rum-flavored pipe tobacco (that might not sound very good unless you know what I mean!)
Reviewer: Anna from Hoboken,
I really love this Sunday Blend. The vanilla and assam's maltiness really balance each other out well. Love it with honey. It almost reminds me of malt shakes and "Milk Duds" candy! Yum!
Reviewer: L. Rogers,
I ordered this tea as part of a sample pack of breakfast and afternoon teas, and was a bit startled by it. I think it belongs with the flavored teas, not with the breakfast and afternoon teas. So if you like flavored teas, give it a try; if not, pass it up.
Reviewer: Irene,
This tea is a tiny luxury in a busy morning. The vanilla adds a subtle richness and sweetness to the blend without being the least bit cloying. I brewed my first pot for three and a half minutes and am enjoying it with a splash of cream added. MMMMMMM what a fragrant, smooth and tasty pleasure.
Reviewer: BashaLeya,
A well-balanced sophisticated blend, even if you don't usually like flavored teas.
Reviewer: Leilani,
I'm not usually wild about vanilla, but this tea is fabulous. It will definitely be on my next order!
Reviewer: Nancy Dowling,
I didn't care for this tea, but I don't care for bourbon or coffee, either. I think you need to be inclined toward these tastes to enjoy this tea.
