As I opened the sample bag of Apple Cinnamon French Toast Black Tea from Simpson & Vail Tea I seriously couldn’t BELIEVE the aroma!  Not only was the scent spot-on it was powerful and incredible!  I wanted to dive into a cup at first sniff but I had to hold off until now.  Apple Cinnamon French Toast Black Tea from Simpson & Vail Tea was totally worth the wait.

Apples and Cinnamons with a bready aroma topped with a heavy and potent maple syrup flavor all wrapped up into one that is what this Apple Cinnamon French Toast Black Tea from Simpson & Vail Tea not only smells like but tastes like!  The black tea base is of medium strength but the other flavors are intense and I LOVE it in this flavored black!

If you have ever had Maple Water and enjoyed it – you might get a kick out of this tea!  Lucky for me I certainly did enjoy Apple Cinnamon French Toast Black Tea from Simpson & Vail Tea.  But I want to say the word ‘enjoy’ is a drastic understatement!  This tea is down right scrumptious!

As promised we have a recipe using this tea for you but I can’t take credit for it – it was listed on S&V’s website but I thought it was so interesting and unique that I wanted to share it here, too!  Check out the information below in the ‘Here’s The Scoop’ section.  Because I don’t eat eggs/dairy I hope to try this with an egg substitute and almond milk or other non-dairy milk in the future but I am sure there are several ways to use this tea in recipes if you are clever and wanting to tinker in the kitchen!  Until then…I think I will pour myself another cup of this glorious Apple Cinnamon French Toast Black Tea from Simpson & Vail Tea!
