    Vanilla Black Tea - Hand Blended Loose Leaf Tea

    Ingredients: Black tea (Camellia sinensis), Vanilla Bean, Natural flavors.

    ANTIOXIDANT LEVEL: High
    CAFFEINE LEVEL: Medium

    Creamy Madagascar Vanilla notes blended with robust Black Tea for a comforting and relaxing nose and taste. This blend truly opens up with cream and sugar.

    This blend is wonderful hot with a little (or a lot) sugar. If iced tea is more your thing, you have found the perfect blend for that!

    When Teresa Lynn's Simple Luxuries was a brick and mortar (literally) shop this was our signature iced tea, served every day in vintage iced tea glasses and mason jars! This was a customer favorite at the tea room and has become a classic in our family. When I first blended this week, my daughter was here visiting and couldn't wait to get her hands around a mug. The nostalgia for us is very real and I hope it becomes a traditional tea in your home as well.


    Available in:

    ☕️Taster - Kraft Bag (holds around .5 oz equal to about 8 servings)

    🫖Sharable 8 oz jar (holds around 2.5 oz equal to about 20 servings)

    🎁Gift Set includes a Tea Strainer, Perfect Cup measuring spoon and our 8 oz jar ( about 20 servings)

    How To Brew Hot Tea: 1 rounded tsp to 8 oz water at no less than 194* (bring to boil and cool for 2 minutes, its usually perfect)

    Steep tea for 3-7 minutes depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

    How To Brew Iced Tea:
    When brewing tea to ice, you can use a specialty iced tea pitcher, or you can simply follow the instructions above for making hot tea, but double the amount of loose leaf tea you use. Doubling the amount of tea per cup allows for ice without diminishing flavor.

    For by the glass iced tea, simply pour your slightly cooled (sweetened if desired) cup of tea over a full glass of ice.

    WE FILL OUR 8 OZ GLASS JARS BY VOLUME- Weights vary by variety of tea as some blends way more depending on the ingredients. For example: LAVENDER BUDS WEIGH LESS THAN DRIED BERRIES, ETC.

    As a Registered Nurse, I feel compelled to advice you to always talk to your health care provider if you are taking any medication (prescription or over the counter) for a health related issue before starting any teas for believed health benefits. Herbal teas should never replace a prescribed medicine. It is possible for herbs, fruits and berries to interact with a medication regimen and should be included in conversations with your health care team.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I trim and light my wooden wick?

    Check out our blog for care and burning tips
    www.teresalynns.com/blog

    If lighting seems difficult, the wick is too far above the surface of the wax when the candle is initially lit. Always light at the wax level, not the top of the wick.

     Solution: Make sure the wick is trimmed to be no longer than 1/8” – 3/16” / 6.4mm – 4.8mm above the wax. This seems counterintuitive, as we think a longer wick will make a larger flame, but it will not. The longer the wick, the harder it is for the wax to flow up to the top.

    Are Soy Candles Safe?

    Now let’s talk about wax. Unless you are eating your candles (which you shouldn’t be) you don’t need to worry about them being produced with “Organic Soy wax”. This is good because organic soy wax doesn’t exist.

    The process of converting the oil into a wax itself renders the wax ineligible for organic certification. Even if a manufacture used the 5-9% of soybeans grown in the USA that are Organic Bean, the process itself makes them not organic.
    Should you worry about this? The simple answer is no, soy wax is safe. You should worry about a company that claims their soy candles are organic. We use wax made with only Renewable Midwest Grown Soybeans.

    We use only phthalate free fragrance oils and essential oil blends in our products.

    Return to Sender packages

    Packages received back to us as RTS (Return to Sender) may be resent at your request by purchasing a postage listing customized for your parcel with a verified address.

    We are not responsible for invalid addresses, forwarded mail or refused parcels and will not refund or pay return shipping.

    Return postage will be calculated at our actual cost, not the discounted rate of $10.00 we offer on original purchases.

    We will contact you via messages with a link to the shipping listing which will be active for 100 days.

    After the 100 day period the listing will expire and the parcel contents will be donated to a local charity when appropriate.

    Allergy and sensitivities

    We use products that may be made with nuts, dairy, soy, plant materials, essential oils and fragrances.

    There is always the possibility for cross exposure within our studio/lab. People with sensitivities or allergies should consider avoiding scented and fragrances products.

    Are scented candles and skincare products triggers for asthma or allergies?
    Although millions of Americans regularly use scented products without any negative effects, it is always possible that a particular fragrance might trigger a negative reaction in a very small percentage of sensitive individuals. Individuals with known sensitivities to specific fragrances may want to avoid products with scents.

    How long do our candles burn?

    The burn time for our candles varies based different variables, such as wax type. wick size, fragrance and type of vessel used. As a general average, they burn an average 7-9 hours per ounce of wax.
    Following our candle care and instruction guide will give you the best burn from each candle. Be sure to read and follow your candle care card included with your order.

    Returns

    To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unused, with labels, and in its original packaging.

To start a return, you may contact us through Etsy Messages. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label as well as instructions on how to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. Return shipping label cost will be deducted from your refund. Original shipping is not refundable. 

A $5.00 supplies fee applies to all returns.
    Please keep in mind, the cost to return your item will likely be more than your discounted original shipping cost. We always suggest gifting your item to save yourself the shipping cost.

    Are scented candles and skincare products triggers for asthma or allergies?
    Although millions of Americans regularly use scented products without any negative effects, it is always possible that a particular fragrance might trigger a negative reaction in a very small percentage of sensitive individuals. Individuals with known sensitivities to specific fragrances may want to avoid products of those scents. In addition, consumers should remember to burn all candles, whether scented or unscented, in a well-ventilated area and test skincare products in a small area before use.

    I love this tea. I used to be a coffee drinker, but find myself making tea each morning! What else need be said! It is just right, and as always wonderfully packaged with little surprise items.🥰


    This is hands-down, my favorite tea I have ever tried in the world. I am in love!


    All I can say is wow!!! The smell of the tea was amazing and the seller even treated me to a heart lollipop, a tea candle that smelled amazing and the cutest tea sipper in the shape of a strawberry. Very thoughtful and a very nice note was included. If I could have gave 10 stars I would. I would definitely be buying again


    A delicious tea, great for a rainy afternoon. Vanilla isn't over-powering


    I love this tea! I’m ordering more of it today.
