This is a tea that's been in my pantry fro quite a while, actually, and not yet have I tried it. I keep meaning to, but it just hasn't happened yet. LUCKILY I just received an early birthday present, my beautiful Tea-for-One from David's Tea which makes a smaller amount of tea. It's perfect for trying little bits of tea at a time :D
Now the tea was a recommendation made to me by a lovely Tea sales girl at the Urban Tea Merchant in Vancouver. I had the s'mores tea, or some chocolately delightfulness in my hand when she brought this down. "This one's so much better though," she said, quiet but confident.

Now I am not usually a fan of vanilla in tea. A personal preference, a stupid one I know. However, in this infusion the vanilla gives a creamy flavour and is not overpowering. Like a lot of black teas, it leaves the mouth very dry. The only way to describe this guy is like drinking a spiced vanilla flower. Delicate and not overly sweet, just perfect.
