Zhena's Gypsy Tea: Vanilla Orchid Darjeeling Black Tea






Steep time: 3-5 minutes


Ingredients: Darjeeling black tea leaves, natural vanilla flavor.

Aroma: Dry tea bag smells like a vanilla flower. After steep, tea smells like a natural vanilla perfume. Fantastic, we all know how crazy I get for vanilla, so I won't dive into that again.

Packaging: Packaged in a recyclable material, keeps the tea leaves fresh. Tea bag is my favorite-named couture triangle baggie. I love the natural fibers, it looks luxurious and is planet friendly.

Tea Leaf Quality: Decent sized leaf pieces, after steep tea leaves are impressively large and I love the amount that comes inside.

Taste:  I love Darjeeling and I love vanilla (surprise surprise!). I am super impressed by the flavor of this tea. Smooth like you wouldn't believe, the flavor is intense and subtle at the same time. I am in love with this tea. The flavor tastes natural, not that chemically sweet stuff. It was a perfect ending to my day. I wish I could bathe in this tea, and I want to drink it for the rest of my life.
