This one smells very strongly of fake, chemically almond. When I took a sip…that’s what I tasted as well. Mastress Alita was right! I’m someone who doesn’t mind artificial flavoring at all, but the chemical taste that some flavored teas sadly have is pretty bad. I added milk and put it in the fridge, and it tastes decent, as any tea would when enough milk and sugar are added. There’s still a hint of that chemical bitterness though. So maybe I just don’t like Adagio’s flavored oolongs. Maybe the flavoring would agree with someone else, but sadly, I would pick any other almond tea over this one. I may make one more cup at a later date to see if my brewing practices are what ruined this, and I’ll be happy to edit my rating at that point.
Adagio seems to use a brand of flavoring that has a weird metallic aftertaste, I agree. I don’t notice it on all their flavored teas, but I’ve definitely noticed it on more than a few.
