T2 Tea Melbourne Breakfast Black Tea with Vanilla, Loose Leaf Black Tea in a Resealable Bag, 250g

This is my friends (we're from Melbourne, live in London) favourite tea. I bought her some as part of her Christmas present. Its quite pricey for 25 tea bags, but its a really nice tea. I have it as my 'special tea' ... oh did I mention I bought myself one too? Only seemed fair.The taste has a very subtle vanilla sweetness (but not sweet) to it. I am someone who likes milk, and honey in my tea and I drink this tea black so that should give you an idea of the flavour. I haven't included photos because I don't think they are necessary.

I've previously had this tea from one of the supplier's shops and really enjoy the flavour. Unfortunately there is a not a store near me so I was pleased to be able to buy via Amazon.

Nice tin, great tea, love that you can buy refil pouches. Has replace English breakfast for me vanilla flavour is not over strong, but really good.

Great taste. Even nicer cold as iced tea but also nice warm. Only negative is the prive is far too high for this to be affordable as a frequent consumption

Love this tea, and buying from amazon means that you pay T2 prices but get prime delivery, whereas buying from T2 website incurs a delivery charge. So amazon works out a better price!We love this tea on the weekends, subtle vanilla, smells divine, only needs a little milk.

not quite a breakfast tea person but this brand add vanilla flavour which is really yummy! my favourite tea!

one spoon gives 10 cups but it is pricey.best thing for me no milk necessary as it is sooo smooth

I heard the buzz around this tea so I thought why not give it a try. Let me tell you firstly that I am a ardent YORKSHIRE GOLD TEA advocate! It is the best cheap affordable everyday nicest tasting tea period. You could get 2 or 3 boxes of Yorkshire Gold for the price of this 100 loose tea tin.With that said lets get on with it shall we:1° Tastes like an Earl Grey Tea. Delicate, fresh and floral.2° Vanilla scent is not overwhelming but you can definitely notice its there.3° Works best as a cold infusion I think. Cold over ice cubes with slices of fresh strawberry & kiwi fruit on a hot summers day.4° Has a nice smell when opening the tin. Also leaves a nice scent on your breath and when entering the room where it was drunk.Its definitely a weaker tea than Yorkshire Gold. They recommend steeping it for 2-4 mins and I left it for 10mins and it still felt weaker than a Yorkshire Gold steeped for 4 mins.Its definitely not terrible tasting but its also not going to replace my Yorkshire Gold as my goto cuppa. It is also prohibitively expensive and just wont do for your everyday needs unless you hit the lottery or something.All in all it makes a nice gift, as in someone gave to you so you might as well make the best out of the free tea. I would not buy it again but I do love Vanilla and Cinnamon so I might give their New York Breakfast Tea a shot since its supposed to be reminiscent of New York Maple Syrup and Cinnamon Pancakes. If you love Earl Grey Tea then I guess you may get more mileage from it.

Melbourne Breakfast has been my all-time favorite tea for years, and you can't beat T2 for quality. It's a medium black tea with a hint of vanilla, and absolutely delicious! You can drink it black, add sweetener or milk, no matter what it will be yummy.

Introduced to this tea by an Aussie friend and it is fantastic. Warm vanilla taste. Perfect for chilly mornings.

I initially received this tea as a gift from my friends in Australia. I love this tea and now I can’t get enough. So happy that I’m able to find this online. It’s a bit creamy with just the right type of spice and flavor. Perfect for in the morning.

I love this tea. It has the most comforting and pleasant flavor. That hint of vanilla curbs the sharp edge off the black tea and it’s always perfect. Every cup.I bought this cute tin for storage, but actually buy this tea in bulk now… and just add more bags to the tin as needed.I like cold tea, so I put two bags of this tea in a mason jar, fill it halfway with boiling water and let it sit for a bit, then remove the bag, fill the rest of the jar with water, and stick it in the fridge for “on the go.”I’ve tried the majority of T2 teas and this is still my favorite of the lot.

I will buy again - looking to buy in greater bulk though.
