The vanilla at the end keeps it from tasting harsh, and it stands up to milk without going watery. I've been making a mug every morning and the cinnamon comes through even with a splash of cream.

The cardamom and clove hit first, then that vanilla softens the finish so it never turns bitter. I've been steeping it a full five minutes and the black tea base still holds up strong.

Brewed this with milk and a little sugar and the cardamom and cinnamon come through first, then that warm clove finish. The vanilla is subtle but it rounds out the spice nicely. Strong enough that I only need one cup in the morning.
