drank Fujian Baroque by Adagio Teas
382 tasting notes

Discovering Adagio teas, episode #11 (out of 12).

Wonderful aroma after opening the zip bag: hay, fallen leaves, cocoa, some spices, a hint of smoke.
After steeping it smells a lot like miso soup with a lot of seaweed, but it is very mellow. There’s also a bit of slightly roasted cocoa, solid maltiness and delicate fruit notes.
The taste sensation is very mellow and velvety, with a strong foundation of maltiness and earthiness plus a bit of cocoa, only a slight sweetness and low astringency. The aftertaste is very peculiar, with strong mineral character.
Very good, special tea.

Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Cocoa, Earth, Fruity, Hay, Malt, Mineral, Seaweed, Smoke

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 3 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

I really like this one, though I like their Keemun Concerto even more.

I’m definitely planning to buy some more Adagio teas. But this has to wait for more than a month, because I’m moving soon and I need to reduce the amount of my possessings, not increase it. :)

I moved last August and had two HUGE boxes of tea to move… it wasn’t fun!

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
