Our Vanilla black tea Vanilla Supremo is a smooth, comforting loose leaf blend made with full-bodied Assam, bright Ceylon black tea and real Bourbon vanilla pieces. Rich, rounded and naturally aromatic, it delivers warm creamy sweetness over a malty black tea base — a beautifully satisfying cup whether enjoyed black or with a splash of milk.
Vanilla Black Tea with Assam, Ceylon and Bourbon Vanilla
Vanilla Supremo is a flavoured black tea with genuine depth. Rather than relying on sweetness alone, it begins with a carefully balanced blend of two celebrated tea origins: robust Assam for body and malt, and lively Ceylon for brightness and lift.
Real Bourbon vanilla pieces are woven through the leaf, giving the blend a soft, natural aroma and a mellow creamy finish. The result is a tea that feels indulgent without becoming heavy — an excellent choice for those who enjoy classic black tea but want something smoother, warmer and a little more comforting.
A Rich and Smooth Loose Leaf Vanilla Tea
In the cup, Vanilla Supremo pours a deep amber liquor with a gentle vanilla fragrance that rises immediately from the brew. The flavour is full and rounded, with Assam bringing satisfying strength and Ceylon keeping the cup clear and balanced.
The vanilla character lingers warmly on the finish, softening the black tea without covering it. It is naturally sweet in style, but still tea-led, making it far more refined than an overly perfumed flavoured blend.
Made with Real Bourbon Vanilla Pieces
Bourbon vanilla is prized for its rich, rounded fragrance, and the use of actual vanilla pieces gives this tea a more authentic character than a simple vanilla-flavoured black tea. The sweetness feels integrated into the blend, gently deepening the leaf rather than sitting apart from it.
That makes Vanilla Supremo especially appealing for drinkers who want a flavoured tea with substance: mellow, aromatic and comforting, yet still recognisably a quality loose leaf black tea.
A Comforting Cup, Black or with Milk
This vanilla black tea is wonderfully versatile. Drunk black, the Bourbon vanilla comes through most clearly, creating a smooth, fragrant cup with a naturally sweet finish.
With a small dash of milk, the texture becomes creamier and the maltier side of the Assam opens beautifully. It is an easy everyday pleasure for mornings, afternoons or any moment that calls for a warmer, softer style of black tea.
How to Brew Vanilla Supremo Black Tea
Use water just off the boil, around 95°C to 100°C. Add one teaspoon of tea per cup and steep for three to four minutes for a smooth, balanced brew with the vanilla clearly present.
For a stronger cup, extend the infusion to around five minutes, though avoid over-steeping if you want to preserve the blend’s rounded sweetness. Serve black for a more aromatic vanilla finish, or add a splash of milk for extra softness and body.
