Gousse de vanille

The first time I brewed this, that real vanilla bean scent hit me before I even took a sip—rich and earthy, not fake or candy-like. The high caffeine really does wake me up fast, and it's creamy enough on its own that I skip the milk.

I’ve been reaching for this every morning since it arrived—the real vanilla bean gives it a deep, almost dessert-like richness that still tastes like proper black tea. Caffeine hit is strong enough to actually wake me up before my second cup.

The creaminess really comes through here—the vanilla bean is earthy, not sugary, and it makes the black tea feel almost velvety. I've been swapping my morning coffee for this and the energy lasts well past lunch.
