Adagio Teas

Double cup, 4 raw sugar

This is the first time I have ever tried real rooibos, and I am passionately in love. It is warm, rich, and hearty—it almost tastes as if it’s got protein in it. :) It almost reminds me of Suntory whiskey; not that it tastes of alcohol, but rather that unique, full, sweet, brightness. Really, really excellent; my search for a low-caffeine alternative has ended; now to try all the variants I can find!

This tea tastes just like Froot Loops to me! Especially if you steep it for 4 minutes or more. It brews up yellowy green and smells like lemons. Really refreshing. I can’t wait to try it cold. I’ll probably be ordering more. However, I think you should go with two teaspoons instead of one per cup.

Yum! Really tastes like chestnuts. Slightly smokey and sweet.

A haiku for peach oolong:
Peach oolong at work,
Calming my mind, focusing —
What’s next on my list?

Comforting tea of love.

I keep forgetting that the vanilla gives it a good, smooth flavor compared to normal rooibos. Anyway, it’s tasty, relaxing and makes for a good afternoon tea.

Delicious! It has a light but very yummy, sort of tart pomegranate taste. As usual with Adagio, the ceylon taste is strong, but I still love this blend. I’ll probably get more next time I restock my tea collection.

This sounded so good when I ordered it. I’m crazy about anything pear, but this… it was a huge disappointment. Even when brewed with twice as much tea as recommended, it still barely has any flavor. And what flavor you do get tastes nothing like pears. The tea itself doesn’t even really smell like pears. When I drank my last cup, there was a kinda unpleasant aftertaste, but mostly I could only taste the sugar I put in it. :(

I really love this tea, but I wish the vanilla taste was stronger. The taste of the ceylon overpowers it. And yet, I probably will keep buying it. :) It’s wonderful to mix with fruity blends. Adds a smooth dimension to any tea.

Meh. Maybe my tastebuds are able to withstand more spice since the spring, when I last drank this. I have a rooibos chai coming from Mighty Leaf today that’s supposed to be spicier; I’ll be curious to see how they compare. As is, this is too weak for me.

This has a nice mellow spicy chai flavor to it. Regular chai tends to be too overwhelming for me, especially without milk.

Single cup, 1 Truvia

Double cup, 4 raw sugar.

A tea with a nice earthy smell to it, sort of similar to grass, but an easy smooth taste going down.

A misleading tea for me.. scent is pretty light, but I feel the flavor is more robust than other oolong varieties I have had. Has a lasting flavor, sort of nutty, and a little bitter. While it’s not my favorite blend, I do find it enjoyable.

Before I say anything, I need to say that the blueberry flavor in this is STRONG. So strong that my ingenuiTea smelled like blueberries for a week. Aside from that, this is a good tea. Not my favorite blueberry tea, but it’s still very good. I’d definitely recommend it.

I threw a sample of this on my last order simply because, c’mon, blueberry tea? I’m floored by how delicious it’s turned out to be, and I don’t know what sort of blend it is—flavor oil, actual blueberry bits, etc.—but it is amazingly fragrant as well.

Usually, I love anything cherry. But this… it was just not what I was hoping for. The cherry taste seemed way too strong and artificial. I was reminded of cherry cold medicine and never finished my sample tin.

Love it! The flavor is amazing. Very vivid and sweet. It’s almost perfect without sweeteners, and the little dried berry bits are pretty tasty by themselves. It has absolutely no bitterness and a hint of apple flavor. It’s like brewing tea out of trail mix!

Another favorite of mine from Adagio. It’s great hot, and has a sweet taste and scent. Almost floral, but in a good way. Whenever I place an order at the site, I always get a sample tin to keep around.

Didn’t like this as much as I thought I did. Not as smooth and creamy as I had remembered.

Yummy creamy minty bedtime goodness. Almost out.
