This naturally flavored black tea selection provides a wonderful balance of a classic Earl Grey with creamy vanilla notes. The rich cup is smooth and satisfying.

Don't overload a bag as a little goes a long way. This full-bodied blend is sweet alone but even better with a little milk. Great for afternoon break or even mid-morning snack with a few sweet biscuits or fruit. One of my new favorites!
A new staple

I bought this tea for my son. Earl Grey is his favorite. I like both EG and vanilla and thought it might be a fun combo. We both love this mix and will add it to our regular orders.
Good tea!

This tea is very good! Though the vanilla flavor is a bit strong, I find it to also be smooth. I found the recommended time and temp. To be a bit high. So now I brew for less time to avoid extra vanilla flavor. Great for afternoon tea with cookies!
Not as good as I was hoping...

Earl Grey de la Creme is my absolute favorite tea, so I decided to try this tea to see if it would be my new "go-to" tea. Well, I was disappointed. While the tea itself was good, the vanilla flavoring was very harsh and overpowered the tea - and not in a good way. If you like a strong, alcohol-y vanilla flavor, then you will like it.

Purchased this as Season's Pick Creme Vanilla was not available. I found it too strong a flavor, but my husband loves it brewed by the quart and drinking it as iced tea with meals or just for refreshment. This tea has become a staple in our tea cupboard.
Tea or vanilla extract?

Whatever bergamot is in this tea is overpowered by something akin to vanilla extract. In fact, a cup brewed at the recommended strength/time tastes like warmed extract straight from the bottle. First time Upton's recommendation has disappointed me.
great vanilla taste

Thanks for the sample Upton ! I’m not an earl grey fan but I do like vanilla , maybe that’s why this is to my liking . It has the highest quality vanilla flavor that you could buy.
Pleasantly surprised

I didn't think I'd like this tea when I read the label of my free sample, but I really enjoyed it. It took the addition of whole milk well and was a great afternoon pot! I'll probably order some soon.
Delicious!

This is my new favorite tea! It has hints of caramel and almost licorice as well as the traditional earl grey flavor. Delicious!
Wonderful Morning Earl Grey.

I purchased this tea as the Seasons Pick Creme Vanilla was out of stock, and WOW was I pleasantly surprised. The sunflower petals give the dry leaf some character. It really is a beautiful tea. The vanilla is prominent, but subtle, and the mouth feel is somewhat thicker than the Seasons Pick. Overall, it is a wonderfully crafted tea!
