drank Chocolate Truffle by Adagio Teas

Much more the chocolate comes thru than the Truffle, but there is something else, slight, in there. Comes out fairly dark, rich brown color. I’d call it chocolate tea with a twist, if you’re a chocolate tea fan and want something a bit different. But not one that jumps out as exceptional.

drank Cream by Adagio Teas

Strong Creamy Smell; and while it tastes somewhat like cream, it’s not overly creamy or sweet. A Little vanilla-y; not much tea flavor itself. Not one of my favorites.

Looks like a light green tea, smells fruity of pomegranate. Smooth, good for a change, though in general I prefer black teas and find green teas sort of weak.

A Very nice roobios. Rounded, mellow, very finely chopped. Don’t try and steep this in your old tea filter with 1/16" holes – it’ll go right thru. Steeps a medium reddish-brown.

Medium Dark, a Little Tannin, general-purpose Assam. Nothing too special.
Fairly fine cut, a mix of dark and golden tea leaves.

Definitely not a black tea – little tea flavor. Strong lemon and some honey, fairly smooth, is good for a break from the stronger teas. Sort of a shock when you’re used to “regular” tea a few times a day, this is like a unsweet Sprite in comparison. Different…

drank Golden Eyebrow by Ku Cha House of Tea

This tastes a lot like the Keemun Snail I got from a couple other tea distributors. Earthy, smooth, well rounded. Not tannic. But at the price, I think it’s not that much better than the other brands! it’s like $20/oz…
