General Comments
Twinings Vanilla & Coconut tea combines two of my favourite flavours in my favourite drink - tea. What could be wrong with that? Well first of all is the price - not cheap. Secondly, when you open the box, each tea bag is wrapped individually - a bit of a waste I think. Thirdly, the flavour is a little too delicate for my liking. I now always leave the tea bag in for the full duration of the mug, and use as little milk as possible. It needs milk to complete that cosy circle of tea, vanilla, coconut, milk. Having said that, it does drink very well. The coconut is slight, but seems to outweigh the vanilla considerably. I know it is supposed to be delicate and natural, but sometimes I just wish they had scraped a whole vanilla pod into one tea bag and be done with it. I think the idea is great, but flavours could be more robust. Maybe I need to get smaller mugs, or maybe I should try 2 bags in one. Now there's a thought...
