I ordered this tea two times from adagio… Two completely different teas. First time was amazing, smoky, vegetal, savory tea with just a slight hint of sweetness. It reminded me of vegetable stock with roasted vegetables. The second time, around 2-3 months later. The tea was faded as if it had been exposed to sun and air for a long time. The only thing remaining was a slightly smoky taste and the oxidized taste of badly stored green tea.

Adagio for me is always hit and miss to the point I am done ordering from them with exception of their iced tea (the already bottled ones) on occasion.
I would have to agree with you. I loved adagio for an introductory source of tea for me. I have to commend them on their teaware selection specially if you just starting. But they seem to have storage issues. But if you like flavored tea is a to-go place and their delivery is insanely fast (probably the reason for the hit and miss/stora issue).
Possibly. The last several white teas I have got from them have been literally undrinkable – I rarely will dump a tea out in the sink and will at least try to not be wasteful but I had to dump the last two. Luckily they were sampler packs.
Wow, I had a flashback to my own experience. I’m sorry about that. On the bright side (and I’m trying to be VERY positive here), crappy tea makes excellent compost/compost tea (just make STRONG almost undrinkable tea, let it cool and use on plants.)
