Goodmorning Steepster.
Continuing on the almond pandemic we’ve had around the site lately, after I went to bed last night and just on the verge of sleeping, this combination popped into my head.
Usually I have noticed a trend of preferring green and white in my travel mug in the morning, but today I wanted to try this, so black it was.
I took half and half (just about) of Adagio’s Vanilla black tea and the black almond tea from my local shop, Den Lille Tebutik (they’ve changed their name since, though, due to having been sold, so now I’m debating whether or not to edit the teas I’ve logged from there).
It worked really well. The two flavours suited each other and the vanilla countered some of the enormous sweetness of the almond and making it less of a dessert tea. I really liked this combination and will have to see if aforementioned local shop have a vanilla tea so I can try to recreate it.
If you like that blend, check these out!

The thing about Adagio is that their European store has a very limited selection compared to the american store. And since I’m in Denmark… shopping from Adagio is just WAY too expensive when I have to pay a third to a half of the price of the tea just in shipping fees and VAT and customs. I’ve shopped there once and I liked it a lot. But it’s just too expensive to do again. I can’t do any better than try to imitate.
What is this now? Pimp My Tea?! LOL XD
