Best Vanilla Tea: Our 7 Creamiest Blends

Vanilla is the flavor we come back to. It's the one that tastes like comfort, the cup you make when you want to slow down for a minute. Soft, creamy, a little sweet. It goes with a book, a blanket, a quiet morning, or that first exhale after the day finally ends.

We blend more vanilla teas than just about anything else, so if you're not sure where to begin, here's the short answer. Start with Crème Brûlée Earl Grey. It's our bestseller, and it tastes like custard in a cup. If you'd rather have plain, creamy vanilla without the Earl Grey notes, reach for Housewarming Crème Brûlée instead.

Here are all seven, grouped by caffeine so you can pick one for the time of day. A little goes a long way, too. One ounce makes 15 to 20 cups.

Black vanilla teas

Full caffeine, for mornings and afternoons

Crème Brûlée Earl Grey Black Tea Our number one bestseller. Vanilla, bergamot, and jasmine come together like custard in a cup. Lovely on its own, and it takes a splash of milk beautifully.

Housewarming Crème Brûlée Black Tea Pure, creamy vanilla. This is the everyday cup you reach for without thinking about it.

Vanilla Latte Black Tea Warm cardamom and smooth vanilla. Your favorite café drink, made at home, with medium caffeine. Add steamed milk and you've basically got a latte.

House Blend Black Tea Classic English breakfast, brightened with a splash of vanilla. An easy place to begin your morning.

Decaf vanilla tea

All the flavor, none of the buzz

Toasted Marshmallow Decaf Black Tea Full-bodied and cozy, an evening sip for when you want something warming but caffeine would keep you up. Customers tell us it's decaf that actually has flavor, which is why it's one of our highest-rated teas.

Herbal blends for any hour, especially the evening

Vanilla Crème Herbal Tea Just vanilla and honeybush. Naturally sweet and caffeine-free, so it's an easy after-dinner cup.

Vanilla Sugar Cookie Herbal Tea Cinnamon and vanilla, like a cookie in your mug. Caffeine-free.
