CELESTIAL SEASONINGS SLEEPYTIME VANILLA HERBAL TEA FULL

Since then, we've served up nearly 2 billion cups of our comforting Sleepytime teas - helping the whole world unwind!'The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences.' -Jean-Jacques Rousseau.We've blended healthy teas with environmental consciousness since 1969.

The first batches were packaged in hand-sewn muslin bags adorned with a simple drawing of a peacefully sleeping bear. Sensing the need for a truly soothing tea to help calm the nervous world around them, our founders created the beloved blend of chamomile, spearmint and lemongrass known as Sleepytime. With its comforting aroma and perfectly balanced flavor, sleepytime vanilla is an exquisitely soothing new way for you to wind down your day.'-Charlie Baden.Celestial Seasonings blendmaster since 1975.Blended In.Boulder, Co.Sleepytime - A Bedtime Story:We started blending all-natural teas from herbs picked in the fields and forests of the Rocky Mountains back in 1969. As someone who is not a fan of peppermint or other extremely minty teas, the spearmint in Sleepytime was perfectly blended with the other flavors to create a rich and soothing experience.Blendmaster's Notes:'Vanilla lovers, Rejoice! We've added the creamy, nutty flavor of rich vanilla to Sleepytime's beloved blend of floral chamomile, cool spearmint and lively lemongrass. The taste of chamomile is much more pronounced than the aroma suggested and the underlying hint of spearmint leaves a fresh tingling in your mouth, as if you'd just brushed your teeth. The unyielding and rich flavor of the vanilla complemented the tea without being too overpowering from a personal view, but may for anyone who does not really like vanilla. Sleepytime® Vanilla was rich and heavy in flavor with a strong followup of minty freshness immediately after swallowing. The taste of the Sleepytime® Vanilla blend is absolutely superb.

After adding a teaspoon of clover honey and a teaspoon of Perfectea Rock Sugar to the cup, I took a sip and let the liquid rest and absorb in my mouth to experience the full flavor of the blend before swallowing the sweet mixture. The steaming, freshly brewed tea was a light yellow-brown color and left a minty vanilla aroma floating around in the kitchen. During and after the brewing, the aroma changed and the scent of vanilla became much more pronounced and the robust smell of the spearmint subsided and blended more thoroughly with the chamomile and lemongrass. The scent of chamomile was present, but weak and the west Indian lemongrass gave the blend a citrus undertone. The entirety of the blend was upstaged by the deep aroma of spearmint and the subtlety of the vanilla. My first whiff of this tea gave me the impression that the spearmint would overpower the taste. The taste of their teas, however, repetitively compels me to keep purchasing their products. Celestial Seasonings' bags have no string and are very easily torn. One thing that I was immediately put off by was the quality of the tea bags.

I have had this tea for quite some time now, but only recently got around to opening the package. Vanilla is one of my favorite flavors and I liked the original so I decided to try the Vanilla variation of Sleepytime®. I was first exposed to Celestial Seasonings' original Sleepytime® blend in the Herbal Tea Sampler Pack. Link to This Review 87 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
