drank Grapefruit by Adagio Teas
307 tasting notes

Adagio’s samples are crazy man. They just go on and on….

This one was very nicely grapefruit. Not to sweet, not too tart, not too bitter. The grapefruit scent was very juicy. The black base didn’t however pick up much on the fruityness of the flavoring. I smelt it and was salivating… and my taste buds were like…. huh? The black base at least was fairly smooth and mild, which isn’t too bad, all things considering. It did fine on a 2nd steep too. The flavor is very light on the 3rd steep though, I stopped trying after that.

Honestly I lovee grapefruit. At one point when my Dad first discovered he had diabetes all of our citrus fruit was suddenly grapefruit. And we’d have it at least twice a day. And we eat it down to the rind. You get used to that sweet/tart/bitter combination. Between the types though, I’ll always go pomelo, ruby red, white.

Preparation

I get easily excited and tend to get into the habit of collecting things I get really really excited about- books, fountain pens, fragrance, tea and any number of things. Mostly I’m just really excitable.

My favorites are oolongs! Also high for me are greens and ripe pu’erh. But I do like most teas and I’ll try most anything at least once. I just don’t like rooibos, smokey, or banana flavored things.

My name is Christina, but there’s also another Christina with a cat as a profile picture, so I go by Flyawaybirdie.

Feel free to drop me a message anytime. I love messages/letters/etc.

NOTE!: My cupboard is not up to date. Not even close. But it does have a bunch of teas I have pretty substantial quantities of, so I put them in there anyways because I’m unlikely to run out soon. Also, if I wrote a note on it and didn’t include a TTB name or a sipdown note, I’m likely to still have some even if it’s not in my cupboard, so feel free to ask if you want to swap!

Steepsterite since 2014. :D
