Orphia drank Cream by Adagio Teas

95 tasting notes

I decided to give this another shot again after a few years, and had it included as a free sample with my most recent order. That way I figured I could toss it if it was still as horrific as I remember with no real loss.

I made sure to steep it for three minutes rather than my usual five, since Adagio’s black base gets ridiculously bitter if you steep it for a hair longer than three minutes and added sugar. It doesn’t taste like concentrated evil this time, and I can tell it’s supposed to have some sort of creamy, vanilla-y taste. It’s just…well, still nothing special on its own.

It’s best kept in blends and not taken straight, much like their vanilla tea. In blends, it really helps to tie things together. On it’s own it’s just not worth it.

Even though my profile picture’s the worgen crest, rest assured my heart belongs to the Horde.

I’m a gamer girl who drinks a lot of tea. My tastes tend heavily towards black tea, though I won’t turn down a nice green or white either.

I stay away from most herbals because far too many of them have hibiscus. I find hibiscus disgusting. Nor am I a fan of rooibos; the taste has to be pretty heavily masked for me to drink it. Usually if I’m drinking a tisane it’s something purely floral like lavender, or rose buds, or chrysanthemum.

I’ll almost always put sugar in my tea, unless it’s something that really doesn’t work well with it (I will never ever add sugar to lapsang souchong again) or something that honestly doesn’t need it or would be ruined by it, like most unflavored greens or whites.
