I found this tea to not taste as complex as I'd hoped. The flavor blend sounded just wonderful, but I didn't detect nearly the vanilla flavor as I'd hoped and expected.
Black currents are the main flavor focus in this tea, and while they certainly taste good (and a bit tart), it leaves a little to be desired. It is nicely sweet, but more of the vanilla flavor that enticed me to drink it so much would be great. I only taste the faintest hint of it.
The aroma of this tea isn't as bold as I would have expected, either. Not that it smells bad, just doesn't draw me into the tea as other ones sometimes do.
Overall, I do enjoy this tea, I just wish it had more vanilla flavor in it. Still good, though.
