drank Yunnan Noir by Adagio Teas
22 tasting notes

I tried out this tea this morning while eating breakfast with friends. I brought my tea tumbler (totally just spelled that tumblr at first) with me that I had already put tea leaves into. I’ll be really honest, so far I’ve loved all of my yunnan tea samples from Adagio. Sooo much so that I want to drink them all the time and all day long. They’re more expensive than what I normally drink so I was hoping that I’d hate this tea. I didn’t. I love it so much!!! It’s dark and fruit y and sweet and mellow. I love that I can brew yunnans for a super long amount of time and they still taste delicious. This tea re-brews extremely well. The appearance of the dry leaves is so pretty but I love watching the unfurled leaves as they float around in my tea. Flavor wise- spectacular. Sorry for the randomness and the jumping back and forth on topic, but I get pretty excited when I find a tea that I fall head over heels for. Its a modern day love story. (lol)

On a side note, does anyone have a good recommendation for yunnan black teas? I like to keep it affordable though I really want to try Whispering Pines golden snail.

Don’t know what you consider affordable but Yunnan Sourcing’s Yunnans are all good and Mandala Tea’s are as well.

Hi! I’m a high school student and my fascination with tea started when I was a child by drinking licorice tea, a black orange blend, and earl grey. Since discovering loose leaf tea, my collection has expanded…a lot. My only tea wish in life is that I could buy more.
