Vanilla is considered the queen of all spices. The Aztecs used to season their famous chocolate drink with vanilla. The vanilla pod is the fruit of an orchid species which has its home in Mexico. The hand-pollinated blossoms produce ripe fruits after eight months, and are then treated in a complicated fermentation process. The pods change color and develop their full aroma. The exquisite, intense and very popular taste of vanilla harmonizes marvellously with our black tea blend.
Owing to the tense world market situation concerning vanilla prices, the quantity of vanilla pieces may be reduced and/or the catalog price may be subject to change.
