Breakfast is a loose leaf vanilla black tea from Da LBI Tea. Each cup brings notes of vanilla custard, shortbread cookie and burnt toast.

Our version of English Breakfast has exquisite Assam and Ceylon black teas with smoky lapsang souchong and vanilla bean. The aroma of warm vanilla custard fills your nose from the first sip of this velvety tea. Next, there's a pleasantly tannic bite with a gentle smokiness of ever-so-slightly burnt toast. Finally, the vanilla flavor returns as an intense note of freshly scraped vanilla bean. This delicate smoky vanilla flavor lingers. It’s made to be enjoyed with milk, but if you appreciate smoke, we suggest drinking it black. This tea will make you get out of bed.
A tea for lovers of malty sweet teas.

I would say this one is decent, not great not bad. my only complaint would be it's a little bit light on the vanilla and a little bit rich on the smoke

Love the vanilla!

It has the right about of caffeine and vanilla for me. Maybe a tad too smokey, but anything with vanilla is a tea for me! I also love the tin it comes in

The vanilla adds just enough warmth while the smokiness gives it depth without tasting heavy or bitter. It’s incredibly smooth and easy to drink, especially first thing in the morning. A great everyday black tea with a twist.

This blend is the perfect daily morning pick-me-up! Strong black tea with hints of smoky flavor and just the right amount of vanilla make it a one of my favorite blends to always keep on hand.

Great flavor and you can get a couple “steeps” per serving. New to tea but enjoying the teas and little starter equipment set.
