15555 Tasting Notes
Another swap with Will work for tea I have to say that this is a really nice blueberry tea. It’s a bit light, so I might have to try steeping it for a bit longer but overall it was just what I needed tonight. I really like that as the tea cools, the blueberry becomes a little more present in the tea. I’m also enjoying that this is a rooibos that i do like :) Would love to try this iced.
I do not like. I’m thinking I need someone who’s purchased a bunch of Adagio teas to give me the heads up on a fairly popular one that enough people have loved haha. So far, while I haven’t hated the adagio teas that I’ve tried – they’re kinda of in the ‘meh" basket. As in, I’ll drink them if someone offered them to me but I wouldn’t spend my money there with all the other great options out there. Then again, maybe it’s just the black base that I’m not liking. I didn’t really taste the strawberries and the choclate was muted.
I am sorry to say it and forgive me all Adagio lovers but yeah I soon learned Adagio is not that awesome. A few here and there yes pretty good but for the most part I had a hard time finding them and gave up.
I agree with Azzrian. I started my loose leaf journey with them and (quickly) found other more enjoyable teas from other vendors… Steepster was really catalyst in showing me what else there was out there. ;)
Some things aren’t bad, but the ones that are bad are REALLY BAD.
It may also be that one of the first places i ordered from in terms of flavoured tea was Butiki haha Love the way they blend their flavours.
this is definitely a love or hate it tea! as are most of Adagios, sadly
Yeah, never ordered from Adagio, but it’s more hit or miss than DavidsTea, even, in terms of what I have tried.
Kittena….yeah I think I’ll keep my adagio teas to things I swap just to try them out. Though I kinda feel that way about most of David’s tea too lol
That’s fair. I’ve had a couple very bad Adagio experiences though, and at least all the DavidsTeas have been palatable (except the ones that are too floral for me, but some people like that).
Still loving this tea. I woke up this morning still sore from my workout session on Monday – nothing says HELLO MONDAY! like a kick in the face from a personal trainer let me tell you lol In any case, I couldn’t bring myself to try a new tea this morning even though my table’s still got tea on it, and more’s coming. Instead I wanted a tea that wouldnt disappoint. It’s been a bit cooler in the mornings, to the point where I know need to wear a sweater in to work. While i love the fresh cool air (i am NOT a fan of humidity coming from the prairies originally), this morning it just made me want to curl up under the covers and snuggle in next to my other half.
Sadly, this was not allowed. So instead I comforted myself with a sweeter, creamy tea that was as close to curling up under the blankets as I could get. The caramel mixed in with the green was a perfect hit.
Another swap from Indigobloom Can you tell I’m trying to work through all my new swapped tea? I’ve got more tea coming so i’m desperately trying to make room in my tea cupboard since I’ve been told i’m allowed to have a shelf and a basket…and when it starts leaving those two areas, i’m not allowed to own more. Well right now? It’s there and all over my kitchen table as I’m still trying to find time to sort through it all lol
Anyway, on with the tea! I like this one – it’s blueberry without being artificial and light enough that it doesnt overwhelm me with BLUEBERRY IN YOUR FACE ZOMG! :) mmmmm….
No rating on this one as I think that I may have messed up the steeping. It is lacking in most of the flavour notes that others have described, so I’ll blame that on me rather than the tea :) Received this one as part of the tea dump that indigobloom foisted on me so no complaints here. I’ll try it again a bit later and see if I can brew this properly heh
This one was a sample from Kittena over the weekend. This is a tea I’d be willing to buy for myself. I really enjoy the fruity aspect of the tea while not losing out on the “green.” I really like the mix of rasberry and apricot as well. No unpleasant aftertaste and even as it cooled it was still a pleasure to drink.
I’m pretty sure indigobloom gave me this one, but if it was Kittena, she’ll be too busy to notice :)
I really like this tea, it’s every thing I want in a berry tea, when I’m drinking a berry tea. I can imagine that it would be super nice iced. I really like the balance that this tea has. None of the flavours are overpowering the others. It’s not too sweet nor is there any bitterness to it.
