Monk's Blend Tea

On my last trip to a small coffee/tea shop in Pittsburgh I picked up two small boxes of odd teabags, the store has hundreds of unusual and unheard of flavored teas. One was Canadian Ice Wine, and it is really an amazingly flavored tea that captures the exact essence of a grape picked and pressed after enduring frost and cold temperatures. I'm now eagerly awaiting a chance to try some real Canadian Ice Wine, something I never even knew existed before.

The other one though was the real surprise, Mlesna brand Monk's Blend Tea. Wow. Before reading up on it a bit I thought it had an apple-ish flavor, but then I came to find it is actually vanilla/grenadine (heh, I was a bit off). The flavor has captivated me, and I'm finally down to my last teabag of it, which brings me to my question: Does anyone know of a high-quality Monk's Blend Tea? A loose tea blend with real vanilla and pomegranate flavoring? Some online searches on my part have only turned up other brand's teabags of this tea. I could only imagine how good a higher-quality version of this tea would be, and I'm really hoping someone out there makes the real deal.

Thanks Jane, I happened to find this:

which seems to be a decent price for a fairly decent loose tea option the other night. It seems like either this is not a popular tea or just uncommon for some reason.

The flavor is great, and I could only imagine how good this could be with either an organic/natural version or a high-quality option with real vanilla and pomegranate. I actually have plans to attempt to make my own with a Cylon tea and with a Chinese black tea as the base to see how it goes.

Dominic, Based on your recommendation and initial post re this tea, I am going to buy some, at the place above, and try it! As the English say, Dominic, you're "a good egg!"

I'm much more used to getting flamed online, this compliment stuff is a new thing for me :) I actually highly recommend the Mlesna Brand Monk's Blend teabags even, they are very good and very cheap. If this loose tea is close or better at ~$4/4oz. then it will be a deal and a half.

I can't figure out why this is such an unknown/uncommon tea, just the smell of a cup brewing at my desk is enough to have everyone in a twenty foot radius ask what smells so good.

Those used to be entirely artificial, though now they are organic.
