Not the Same |
4/28/2018 |
| This tea was my all time favorite tea. Loved the smell and taste of it. Once my original can was gone I reordered a refill bag. The taste and smell was definitely not the same. I contacted S&V and they sent me another bag. It also was not the same taste and smell of my original can. Don't really know what the issue is? Maybe a new supplier?Definitly not the same.Very disappointed. |

| This is now my all-time favorite tea! So rich and flavorful! The other reviewers are correct... it really is like drinking a cookie! Be careful! This tea is addictive! Can't just have one cup! |

Extraordinary almond tea |
12/13/2017 |
| If I could give this 6 stars I would. I can see why this tea is so popular and has so many reviews. It's so delicious! The dry leaf's aroma actually reminds me a bit of hazelnut coffee. When brewed it smells just like sugar cookies baking in the oven and tastes like it as well. What's even more interesting is when it cools it almost takes on a sort of raisin note giving me the feeling of eating an oatmeal raisin cookie. It's two cookies in one for me! If I were to recommend a first time S&V tea blend, it would be this hands down. |

Amazing flavor and aroma, genuinely like almond cookies |
9/19/2017 |
| This is one of my favorites among the S&V teas I've tried. The toasted almond flavor is nutty and rich, more like warm, roasted almonds than the amaretto flavor you might expect. The loose leaves smell JUST like almond cookies (it makes me think of those Chinese sugar cookies that I adore), and both scent and flavor carry over into the prepared tea, especially if you add a bit of sugar to your cup. This tea satisfies your sweet tooth without the calories or the work of baking. It's perfect on a chilly day! |

| Nicely flavored tea. It lives up to its name for sure! I was hoping the tea flavor would stand out a touch more but overall a delicious cup. Love the creativity of the flavorings and blends! |

| This tea is almost as good as a cookie. It has the buttery, nutty and sweet fragrance of sugar cookies and tastes amazingly like the aroma. We sometimes add just a pinch of sugar. |

Amazing |

| This is probably my favorite tea Ive tried from SV. It is warm, nutty, rich, and smooth, with just enough flavor to feel like a treat but not so much that you forget its tea. Its so simple that its good for any time of day, I love it mid afternoon to prevent the afternoon slump and get me through the rest of the day. Highly recommend. |

Another winner from the impressive S&V tea! |
1/13/2017 |
| A delectable tea this one is. It might SEEM similar to some of the other almond teas out there, but this one is different. The almond is much more toastier than other almond teas Ive tried. More toasted almond than a sweet marzipan flavor. Butter notes of the sugar cookie in the background. Its a lovely flavor, especially on a cold winter day. I love the slivered almonds and the orange flowers in the blend. The black tea has a nice thirst quenching quality rather than a dark,rich flavor, which might sound weird with a toasted almond flavor, but it completely works here. The second steep is just as flavorful. Its very hard not to love all of these S&V teas.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoon for a full mug// 12 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep |

| Truly a delicious cup of tea. Been enjoying it for breakfast because it just pairs so nicely with typical breakfast fare. Very smooth, no bitterness, flavored perfectly! Have not added milk or sugar and for my tastes it doesnt need it. I will be ordering this one again! |

My favorite tea from Simpson and Vail! |
9/1/2016 |
| This is a fantastic tea and by far their best blend in my opinion. Dessert in a cup, with or without sugar, but I definitely recommend having a splash of milk with it to get that decadent creamy/buttery note from the cookie part of its name. I order it whenever I know Im starting to run low, no matter the season. Even the hubby, who dislikes hot beverages (gasp! I know) enjoys this cuppa on cool evenings. I hope they never stop making this tea! |

A Low Calorie Slice of Childhood |
7/9/2016 |
| Heaven! I have a very restrictive diet, so cant eat a lot of things I used to. But this... with a touch of vanilla almond milk... its exactly like biting into one of those sugar cookies they had at parties as a kid. The kind with the frosting and sprinkles... you know the kind with the frosting that turned your mouth blue? I have no idea how S&V captured that so accurately into this tea!
Im reordering a tin of this! |

Could use more almond flavor. |
6/25/2016 |
| It has the same toasty, bakey flavor as the Apple Cinnamon Coffeecake does, just without the apple and cinnamon flavors. Dont get me wrong, its a nice tea and its definitely cookie-like, but I was hoping for just a little bit more almond. What there is is so mild its overtaken by the bakey flavor I mentioned before. |

| Not a favorite tea. This tea is alright but not a favorite and I thought it would have a stronger almond flavor. I not against it and would never refuse it but wouldnt choice it to buy again. |

| An absolutely lovely blend of flavors...its like drinking the most perfectly baked cookie. I think if I could only drink one tea for the rest of my life, this one might be it. It held up well to a second steep which brought out more of the nutty flavor but still balanced. |

Diabetic delight! No Sugar!!!!! |
2/12/2016 |
| Girlfriends enjoy tea time but when asked to enjoy a cup of Almond Sugar Cookie my friend who has diabetes decline, so glad I wrote and asked if this tea had sugar or not. Now to find if you can do it in caffeine free for the other friend! Always a challenge. Enjoyed the Tea Pod Cast so informative and I feel like weve met. Shop looks lovely. Road trip anyone? |

Perfect treat-like drinking a liquid sugar cookie! |
1/1/2016 |
| I had this tea for breakfast with a tiny bit of unsweetened almond milk. It was delicious! As it cooled, the cookie taste became even more pronounced. It tasted just like a premium sugar cookie from a bakery, you know the kind that have the delicious subtle almond aftertaste. I really dont know how S&V does it! I bet this would make a delicious iced latte. I could see this really helping to handle cravings which is perfect as I try to recover from several weeks of holiday indulgences! |

Amazing Dessert Tea |
10/11/2015 |
| This tea is indulging like a delicious sugar cookie. There is quite a bit of almond in a sip that finishes out wonderfully with a bit of vanilla. Highly recommend this tea, even for the tea skeptics in your life. Make this tea as a tea latte and you will not be disappointed. |

| I absolutely love this tea. It has helped me lose a lot of weight. I reach for it whenever I get a craving for something sweet. It smells heavenly and has saffron threads in it!!!! I wish I could find a perfume that smells like this tea. I drink it hot and cold. It gets rid of my cravings better if I drink it iced. Its not like any other tea I have. I love this one and August Peach. |

| Simpson & Vail have so many wonderful teas but this is tied with Crème Brulee as my all-time favorite. When you open the package you experience your first delight because this smells wonderful and looks so inviting with abundant almond slices. Then you brew up a cup and add some light cream and you have a smooth, wonderful tasting tea. This is a wonderful mix of flavors with none being overpowering--it definitely tastes like an almond cookie. A very yummy way to end your day!!! |

Deserves Every One Of Its Five Stars |
6/18/2014 |
| Wow. When you take a sniff from the bag, you know youre in for a treat. When you take a sip from the cup, you know youre enjoying a wonderful desert tea. No sweetener necessary, tastes light with no bitterness at all. And the aftertastes! The almond is front and center right where it should be, but somehow there is an additional something that makes you think you really just swallowed a bite of a traditional sugar cookie. This is a remarkable tea. Bravo, S&V, very well done. |

| This is by far my favorite of the S&V teas, or of any that I have yet to try anywhere!! I had some friends over for tea not long ago, and they have since become fans of Almond Sugar Cookie Dessert Tea and of S&V as well. It makes my afternoon tea an event to look forward to! |

| This is one of the most creative teas Ive tasted. You told me, Youve gotta try this! I did and asked my wife, How do they do that? Cream and sugar preferred with this one, but its creamy without. Almond Sugar Cookie black tea is destined for greatness. |
