Kusmi Tea Review: Prince Vladimir

Recently I hit up a Dean & DeLuca in Washington, D.C. and I stumbled across Kusmi tea. They had quite an array of flavors to choose from but in the end I decided to just grab a sampler pack and then buy larger packs once I narrowed down my favorites.

It is rare that I stumble across a tea that makes me fall in love with it from the first sip... This is one of those teas. It was a warm mellow mix of citrus vanilla and spice. It was a really lovely surprise of a flavor and is definitely one I plan on buying a box of (I promise, not every flavor is going to be this way, it just hit home runs with the first two I tried...)

A blend of Earl Grey, citrus fruits, vanilla and spices, Prince Vladimir is one of the company's musts. We suggest to enjoy this tea during the whole day. Main flavor: Smooth citrus and spice Ingredients: Russian blend of black China teas with scents of bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, vanilla and spices

First up is BE COOL, a mellow blend of liquorice and peppermint that is caffeine free. I had originally been hunting for a good bed time tea and almost grabbed a box of this alone but I wasn't sure what to expect from the liquorice flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with a mellow but warming blend that didn't try to overpower your taste buds.

This is definitely one that I will be buying a box of once I work my way through the samples!
