There are shades of vanilla flavoring -- sometimes it's floral, sometimes it's warm and honey-toned like sugar cookies. Tea Forte's Orchid Vanilla tends towards the floral, but it's not so flowery that it becomes unpleasant. It put me in mind of the orchid gardens in Hawaii. The black tea underneath the vanilla is good and rich, supplying a satisfying base for the vanilla. It's not my favorite vanilla tea, but it's very very good and warms my soul as we slide towards the cold time of year. I recommend it as a worthy A- tea.
