Intergalactic Tea
Couldn't load pickup availability
The full on vanilla bean version is sold out but more should be pressed next week around March 12th or so. Two different versions! The lite version is great too and on sale.
Vanilla Bean Dream Machine was inspired by a tea I learned about via an @oolongowl blog post.
The tea had a really strong vanilla aroma. I’m not sure how that happened. I haven’t any tea that comes anywhere close.
I decided to add vanilla beans to shu, have it pressed and see what happens. I had a hard time finding anyone willing to do it. I can’t blame them. We were eventually able to find a solution. The first try at this has a mild vanilla flavor that plays a supporting roll.
The second try is pretty strong vanilla wise and the flavor lasts a few steeps before moving to the background. It will leave tiny vanilla beans in your gaiwan. I think it’s fantastic. Both versions are for sale in 100g cakes.
Both versions use 2022 Zhang Jia San Dui shu that has a cocoa and carmal notes.
Customer Reviews
Good tea especially for the price. The vanilla is pleasant at the end and doesn’t overpower the puer.
A very unique shu! Earthy sweet with a smack of vanilla. Absolutely love it!!
Ummm this shu puerh is like a dream! A perfect blend of the earthy shu and sweet notes of vanilla. It’s smooth, rich and all I can think about.. you’re a genius intergalactic tea being!
Rich tasting should with tons of vanilla throughout. I liked it a lot!
This is pure comfort in a cup. The smooth, warm vanilla is an excellent compliment to the base shou. I am so pleased to have found this tea, and grateful that it's been made. I will certainly be buying more...especially considering the rate at which I've been drinking it.
