Beware - there’s no actual vanilla bean included in this product
I purchased this product because I like the taste of vanilla in my tea. I assumed because it was from an established franchise and had the words deluxe VANILLA powder on the label that there would be, say, some vanilla beans in the ingredient list?
WRONG!
The closest this product comes to actual vanilla anything on the ingredient label is ‘natural and artificial vanilla flavors, and those are way down near the bottom of the ingredient list, which means very little natural vanilla flavor is in it, and no actual vanilla bean is. The first ingredient is sugar, then a lot of chemical names. I was very disappointed.
Also quite a lot of the powder was needed to even taste it, so the entire container was gone within a month.
I will not be purchasing this product again.
Shame on you, coffee bean and tea leaf for misrepresentating this as vanilla powder, when no actual vanilla bean, or vanilla bean extract is used, only vanilla flavor, and part of that is artificial.
Buyer beware! read the label ingredients before you purchase. I know I will from now on.
