This is really quite lovely. Not overly perfumed, particularly if prepared in short steeps, and the frankincense meshes really well with the GABA oolong. Relaxing, sweet, and decadent.

This is the best Earl Grey Creme I’ve tried. Actually crave-worthy.

This most recent batch is a bit more roasted than others, but the peachy quality emerges quite nicely after the first couple of steeps. Delicious.

I don’t know much about this tea. Got it in a bag of samples direct from the grower/producer. But mighty good. Darjeeling-like, with a clean, fruity edge.

Very special Darjeeling. Rather light, so drink it on its own. Nutty with a bit of light fruit in the finish + a bit of malt.

Very light, very delicate. I prefer my green teas with a bit more power, but this isn’t bad at all. Pretty tea “flower”, too.

Ooooh, this is good! Adagio bigwig Charles Cain insisted that I try it during my recent visit to one of Adagio’s retail shops. I’m not overfond of Darjeeling oolongs, but this one is really, really good. Clean and crisp, but also slightly fruity. Color me impressed.

Right. Long Jing isn’t one of my favorites, but if I was forced to drink the stuff, this would be the tea I’d choose. Nutty, rich, slightly vegetal. Wonderful.
