شاي أسود بالفانيليا

The vanilla here is soft and warm rather than sugary, so it doesn't bury the tea underneath. I've been brewing it after dinner instead of dessert and it hits that same cozy note without being heavy.

I was skeptical about vanilla in tea, but somehow it works. The spice softens the bitterness without turning it into dessert, and I've been reaching for it most evenings now.

The vanilla note is subtle but unmistakable—it wraps around the black tea instead of drowning it, which is exactly what I hoped for when I picked this up. Steeped it for about four minutes and the cup felt like a warm, cozy companion for a quiet evening.
