5525THÉ NOIR À LA VANILLE
A full-bodied black tea infused with the rich and smooth flavour of vanilla beans.
Once considered an aphrodisiac, the seductive aroma of vanilla envelops this medium-bodied black tea. Using only natural vanilla sourced from Bourbon-Madagascar beans, our Master Blender invites you to wrap yourself in a cup of luxury.
Our black aromatic blends, comprised of the highest quality Ceylon black tealeaves, are scented with the essential oils of natural ingredients – in this case, vanilla. These oils are added after the tealeaves have been fully oxidized and dried, complementing the distinctive taste of black tea with their characteristic flavours.

MASTER BLENDER TASTING NOTES
This blend, one of the sweetest in our black tea collection, works impeccably as a prelude to dessert. Vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron, as there is extensive labour required to grow the seed pods. Despite this setback (or perhaps because of it), it is highly valued for its flavour and is widely used in both the commercial and domestic spheres in baking, perfumeries, and aromatherapy. Here, vanilla adds roundness and rich character to the strong, dark characteristics of our black tea blend.
