*****
This is a yummy and unique tea. It's sort of creamy (the real vanilla is a luscious taste), but not spicy like chai. It is absolutely perfect and I'm drinking it all the time because the taste is beyond belief, plus there is no caffeine!
Indian Night is certified organic and contains fair trade certified organic Fatrikcherra Estate black tea, and organic vanilla beans---that's all---and oh, what an incredible combination! There are no oils or natural flavorings used at all, unlike many flavored teas, and thus no funny aftertaste. It is also kosher. This tea is sustainable in that all packaging materials are biodegradable and recyclable, the carton is made of 100% post-consumer waste, and cello wrap is not used. Numi says that all their tea bags "are made of natural fiber paper, not the trendy, "silky" see-though nylon tea bags". The reason it is called "full leaf" is that Numi black teas do not contain tea dust or fannings, which tend to make tea taste bitter; instead, they contain the full leaf, expanding when they are brewed, "releasing a robust and long lasting experience".
On the box, the manufacturer writes: "Inspired by an ancient Aztec culinary secret, Numi has chosen aromatic whole vanilla beans to blend with premium organic black tea. The tea grows in northern India on a bio-dynamic and Fair Trade garden surrounded by beautiful tropical forests. It is decaffeinated by a revolutionary organic CO2 process, called 'Effervescence', the only chemical-free method that does not extract flavor or health properties. As Indian Night steeps a vibrant bronzy hue, its seductive fragrance, flowery yet familiar, flirts with your senses. Magnificently smooth, exotic vanilla harmonizes with black tea for a creamy, rich and satisfying cup." This is a new (as of 2007) tea for Numi, and this description romantically describes the tea experience, and doesn't oversell it at all.
Highly recommended.

I recently started drinking organic, decaf black or green tea because of the antioxidant health benefits, and not because I was fond of tea. I am mostly a coffee drinker, and I like a very strong cup of coffee. I tried a few teas, but most of them weren't strong enough and had to be doctored up with lemon, or vanilla soy milk. This tea has a very enjoyable and strong smell, and taste, of vanilla, so I can enjoy it with both senses.
The instructions say to steep the tea bag for three to five minutes. Longer could result in a naturally bitter vanilla taste. I let the tea bag steep in my cup for much longer than five minutes, and keep it steeping all the time while I am drinking it, and even squeeze the bag a few times, and don't find the taste bitter, but an enjoyable treat, whether steeping for five minutes or twenty minutes. |
Another organic favorite from Numi

| I love this delicate, delightful, decaf black tea. For me it is another organic favorite from the wonderful Numi tea company. How thrilled I was to discover it at Amazon because I cannot find it at my local health food markets. I love a good black tea and wanted something exactly like Indian Night Decaf for my later in the day and evening tea enjoyment...and I do so enjoy this mellow vanilla scented blend. I have to also comment about how much I enjoy the lovely artwork on all the Numi packaging...such a nice touch to such a wonderful product. |
Excellent Decaf Tea!

I purchased this based on a great review here on Amazon. I'm so glad 1st for the great review which caused me to purchase this delicious tea! It is rather sweet all on it's own & the flavor is smooth. The scent is decadant! I tend to overbrew my tea to the extreme & this holds up to my crazy brewing without becoming bitter or funky!
I love that not only is this organic but fair trade as well. A problem with organics these days is they really aren't organic. They will contain "natural" flavors and/or one or more of the many non-organic allowed anyway ingredients that the USDA Organic certification says is okay. Gee thanks...
Anyway, this tea does not contain that crap. It is Naturally decaffeinated black tea (it doesn't use chemicals) with organic vanilla beans. That's it. Nothing else!
A smooth rich cuppa tea! Fabulous with milk, like dessert! Fabulous without milk too! Perfect for taking to work since the bags are individually wrapped. |
Love This Tea

| It's organic, decaffeinated, individually wrapped (which makes it portable and keeps it fresh), flavorful and a good price. It's not easy to find that combination in local stores. The aroma and taste of vanilla are just right in a hot cup of this tea. |
Dreamy Vanilla Tea

Numi teas are blended to an elegant perfection. Numi Decaf Black Vanilla is no exception and will please anyone who loves mild black tea with a hint of vanilla. For a richer experience, use two teabags per 8-ounce cup. This tea is perfect for drinking at night when you are relaxing, reading poetry or starting a new novel. The vanilla flavor is enhanced with a dash of cream or even an little vanilla syrup from France. I can recommend Rieme All Natural French Vanille Vanilla Syrup - 8.46 Fl Oz (250 Ml) or even a natural cane sugar to add a caramel twist.

| I discovered this tea when I was in Seattle - yes, the land of coffee. I wanted a basic cup of decaf black tea but nobody in the NW sells regular tea! It's all latte this and grande that. I finally ended up in one small coffee shop practically begging for a cup of regular tea, and I was given this Numi decaf Vanilla Black. WOW!! It is soooo good. Kind of has a hint of a black raspberry flavor even though there isn't any in it. I've placed 2 orders from Amazon so far since I can't find this particular flavor in my area. Thanks to being desperate in Seattle, I am now a Numi customer through Amazon! |
yuk, did not taste good

| We went by the other reviews, we were so disappointed, the taste was watered down and the vanilla flavor was barely noticeable. You can not return this kind of item, so if you don't like it your stuck with it. |
