Scotch and Abram's Cream Vanilla is a flavored black tea built for those who want something rich and comforting without the spice of a chai or the citrus of an Earl Grey. Full-bodied black tea forms the base, with calendula, jasmine, marigold, and sunflower petals adding warmth and a subtle floral quality, and natural vanilla flavoring delivering a sweet, creamy finish that lingers. Full-bodied, smooth, and velvety with sweet creamy vanilla notes throughout. The vanilla is genuine and present without being cloying - more like a proper vanilla character than a synthetic sweetness. Works well black as a naturally sweet treat, or with milk for something closer to vanilla cream tea. One of the most approachable and universally enjoyed teas in the range. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Works well black or with milk - both bring out different aspects of the vanilla character. How does it compare? Similar sweetness: Scotch and Abram's Caramel More aromatic: Scotch and Abram's Cream Earl Grey Bolder base: Scotch and Abram's Cream Irish Breakfast Caramel is the closest companion in the range - same naturally sweet, indulgent character with a buttery caramel note rather than vanilla. Cream Earl Grey adds bergamot to the vanilla for something more aromatic and complex. Cream Irish Breakfast is the bolder option if you want the creamy character on a more robust foundation.
