About Grandbois Vanille

A flavored tea enveloped in a sweet and rich vanilla scent. It pairs well with a smooth and full-bodied base, creating a taste reminiscent of a decadent dessert when enjoyed as milk tea. Perfect for relaxation time.

How to brew

Good tea comes down to three basics: the amount of leaves, fresh boiling water, and steeping time. Use about one teaspoon (3g) of leaves per cup, pour freshly boiled water at 95–100°C briskly over them, put the lid on the pot, and steep for 2.5–3 minutes. When the leaves circulate up and down in the pot (the 'jumping' effect), the aroma and flavor come out well.

As a straight tea
Enjoy the tea's natural aroma and liquor color. Steep for about 2.5–3 minutes; shorten it slightly if you find it too astringent. Pour out to the very last drop (the 'best drop') so the second cup keeps the same strength.
As a milk tea
Full-bodied teas pair well with milk. Use slightly more leaves and steep a bit longer (3–4 minutes) for a strong brew, then add room-temperature milk afterwards. Not overheating the milk lets the tea's aroma shine.
