sharp cinnamon with sweet vanilla

Visited Writing on my Hand, took one look at her sidebar, and knew I had to write this post. Hopefully there will be more in the future as well. Preparing for and being in England necessitates some talk of tea, does it not? So here goes.

MY CURRENT FAVORITE TEA
Harney & Sons Fine Tea | Vanilla Comoro...a decaffeinated black tea with vanilla
combined with
Harney & Sons Fine Teas | Hot Cinnamon Sunset...a black tea with cinnamon, orange, and sweet cloves.

why combined?
The sweetness of the vanilla rounds out the wonderful sharpness of the cinnamon and orange without dulling the edge or being too sappy. The smell is divine with the same interplay of sharp cinnamon with sweet vanilla. The aftertaste is a warm, rounded hint of fall. The Hot Cinnamon Sunset also gives a soft amount of caffeine for an early morning class that wakes you up but isn't so much as to make you jittery.

note...
The genius of combining these teas goes to my roommate Charis.
