almond?
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I've always liked the tea bag version of this tea, and I figured the full leaf would have a fuller flavor. The vanilla is fuller, but the almond gets all but lost. Definitely prefer the tea bags.

Vanilla Almond. Ok but gets boring fast.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

The tea upon first smell is great, and it reminds me a lot of an Amaretto, which makes since because of the Almonds. It is defiantly vanilla and has hints of cherry. There is even bits of almonds in the can! Upon brewing the aroma is still great, and obviously not as strong but still pleasant. The vanilla taste is not as strong as the almond taste, but it is very natural. There is a very strong woody taste though. Adding sugar to it elevates it to a whole new level and makes it really taste like an amaretto. The problem is I am not big on sweet tea, but I can see this as a great mixing tea. Add some sugar, add milk, maybe even some real amaretto if your into that. But as a straight drinking tea, after the first few days of excitement it becomes boring and that woody taste starts to overpower everything. Great if you like sweet tea or fancy tea drinks, but not my....cup of tea

Just a small bit of sugar makes the flavor as delicious as the smell
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

One of my favorite teas. As soon as I run out, I have to order more. The smell is divine, and just a small bit of sugar REALLY helps the flavor pop! (I've had two family members try it, and they weren't impressed, until I told them they really need just that little bit of sugar...and then they understood my love for this tea!)

So far vanilla almond cold is what I drink the most, all day I brew a pitcher I put vanilla almond tea bags at the bottom and put this vanilla almond loose leaf 🍃 on top of the tea bags and brew it its so good. I like my tea strong and the loose leaf 🍃 just boosts the flavor even more 😋.

Not as flavorful as the tea bags
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I LOVE the Vanilla Almond tea bags- it is my favorite flavor- so when I saw the flair in the loose tea, I was very excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, I felt the flavor was lacking as compared to the same flavor in the tea bags. I even tried using more leaves than recommended in hopes of bringing out the flavor I am used to. It just wasn't quite the same. So, I am going back to the tea bags.

A little too bland
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I'm in the minority here, but this tea smells better when dry. Even then, its aroma is strongly of artificial almond, overwhelming the vanilla. I expected to be hit over the head with almond after brewing but found a surprisingly bland tea instead. In my experience, oolong tea handles the almond flavor better than black and I wish Republic of Tea offers a Vanilla Almond Oolong. Oh well.

I simply adore this tea. It's a rich black tea flavor, strong enough to notice without being overpowering. The vanilla and almond combine to give it a balanced sweetness.

Green Teas by Republic of Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I wanted to review Republic of Tea green teas. In the last month, I have eaten at several restaurants. As a tea citizen, not a coffee drinker, it is fun to try different teas. Well, the green teas of several companies, are bitter to me. I have to put lots of honey in them. Not so with my Republic of Tea green teas. They are milder and not bitter at all. This is probably because the leaves are picked at their prime. I drink it straight and enjoy a sugar-less event. The only restaurant that sells a green tea I liked, Panera Bread, told me the reason I love their green ice tea is because it is Republic of Tea. They have an exclusive recipe with our own Republic! Everyone should only buy their green teas from R.of Tea. Thank you for the hot and iced teas. Lise

This is one of those great teas that is sweet without adding sweetener - although I have it that way too! The vanilla is definitely Madagascar, I have been using it for years and I refuse to bake with anything other kind. It is a distinctive vanilla, and you can really smell and taste it in this tea.
