Vanilla is considered the "queen of spices". Even the Aztecs spiced their famous chocolate drink with vanilla. The vanilla pod is the capsule fruit of an orchid species that was originally native to Mexico. The flowers, which are pollinated by hand, bear fruits that are ready for harvesting after about 8 months and undergo a complicated fermentation process. The pods change colour and develop their full aroma in the process. The exquisite, intense flavour of the Vanilleist is very popular and harmonises perfectly with our black tea blend. Ingredients: black tea, flavouring, vanilla pieces (0.5%).
