About Vanilla Excelsior

A simple, elegant, yet highly expressive and timeless combination. The finest Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar and Himalayan black tea create a perfect blend of sweet and muscatel flavours. This Vanilla Excelsior is rounded off with a delicate astringency and creaminess. The crème de la crème of masterfully flavoured black teas.


About vanilla

Vanilla is a type of orchid that thrives as a climbing plant in dense jungles. It takes three years for a young vanilla plant to bloom for the first time. For the vanilla pods to develop, each vanilla blossom must be pollinated by hand. The most sought-after variety comes from Madagascar, La Réunion, and the Comoros - Bourbon vanilla. Today, about half of the world's production is from Madagascar.


Effects

Vanilla contains anti-inflammatory compounds that have been proven to be fungicidal. According to personal testimonials, vanilla preparations are successfully used by people with eczema and neurodermatitis. In aromatherapy, vanilla essential oils are valued for their calming yet non-sedative effects. They are used to enhance concentration and alleviate mood swings and tension.


How to enjoy

Our Vanilla Excelsior is best enjoyed in the late afternoon or evening. Its rich, creamy vanilla notes pair wonderfully with delicate pastries, buttery shortbread, or a slice of light sponge cake.
