Tea of the Week for July 27, 2020: Vanilla Orange Cola Black Tea!
Tea Description: This was one of the very first teas to make it onto the menu for this month – because I loved the idea the instant I heard about it – and in truth – it’s one that I was also considering because my youngest LOVES the orange vanilla cola that came out last year (or the year before? Has it been that long already? Not sure!)
Anyway, I decided that this is a tea that needed to be crafted & it’s the perfect time to do that – because summer!
This tea tastes awesome – it starts with a blend of Assamica & Yunnan teas & is combined with organic vanilla beans, oranges & orange peel, plus a touch of essence for that cola taste. So good! It’s also VEGAN, gluten-free & allergen-free!
ingredients: black tea
organic ingredients: black tea, orange peel, oranges, vanilla beans & natural flavors
I am loving every single sip of this tea. At the moment, I’m taste testing it hot, but I had some iced earlier & it’s excellent either way – but really, it’s something extra special when it’s chilled. The flavors really pop & it tastes like you’re sipping on soda – only it’s better (not to mention better for you!) because it’s TEA!
to brew: Use 3g of tea to 12 ounces of nearly boiling water (205°F). allow to steep for 3 minutes. strain & enjoy.
I highly recommend adding just a teensy bit of sugar to this. Not a lot is needed (I used 1/2 teaspoon) but it really does enhance the overall “cola” flavor to it.
