The tangy, bright and perfectly balanced flavors of Ceylon black tea are a great canvas for many flavor expressions. The very best Ceylons blend easily with flavors giving them excellent depth and complexity. Take our Almond Black, for example. Touch of raw almond aroma, plush mouthfeel reminiscent of creamy marzipan, with nutty sweetness upfront and a balanced, clean astringency.

It was a black tea kind of morning so I decided to break open my sample box from Adagio.
This one smelled downright alarming in the pouch: sharp and chemical and not what I was expecting at all. I brewed it up anyway because I love almonds. The brewed tea smells like marzipan, but the taste isn’t that sweet. It’s a very nice almond flavor, and not nearly as bitter as I was expecting from other reviews. I actually steeped it much longer than I meant to but it’s still nice and light!
I might get this one, but then again the smell of the dry leaves is off-putting. Maybe I’ll decide after my next cup.
I wasn’t so sure about this one at first, but it quickly proved to be absolute favorite tea, probably because I love the taste of almond. The aroma is rich and fantastic, before and after steeping. I feel this tea is very versatile; I can enjoy it plain, with sweet cream, or over ice mixed with sweet cream! It’s also great blended with other teas like cream, caramel, or cinnamon. I recommend a steep time on the lower end of the scale or else it might become too bitter.
