I got a sample of this from Ost. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a breakfast tea, but they’re nice to have occasionally. I’m not too familiar with the right words to describe a black tea, but this tastes kind of similar to golden monkey teas I’ve had in the past. My steep time was a little shorter than usual to avoid bitterness. It tasted nice alone, but I added milk and sugar because that’s my preferred way to consume black teas. I don’t usually want this much caffeine at a time, so I won’t restock, but it tastes good if this is the sort of thing you want.

I got this one from Ost. This tastes like lemongrass, and it also tastes buttery and cakey. I really like it. Lemongrass in dessert teas really works for me for some reason!

Almond is my absolute favorite, so I was pretty excited to try this tea. I really think it would have been better as a white or oolong tea. The green just does not go well with the almond. The almond smell is very strong, and the flavor is too. It’s like an almond dessert. It’s good. I just would’ve preferred a different base.

Hot, you can mostly just taste the spices. Once it cools a bit, you can really taste the carrot, and the spices somehow disappear so it tastes more like fresh carrots. This is an interesting one.

I had a bag of delicious Teavana mango black mixed with limeade twist a long time ago, and I bought some limeade twist on eBay and a tin of this to try to recreate that flavor. I strongly dislike the limeade twist on its own, and it pretty much overpowers this tea too, so I guess I didn’t succeed. I don’t love fruity black teas, and I didn’t love this one, so I guess that fits. I didn’t buy it to drink on its own, so I won’t leave a rating. I’ll just say that this tea is pretty weak compared to other teas of this variety.

I bought this one after I finished my two pounds of Teavana blueberry bliss and found myself missing it. This is the one green rooibos offering from Adagio that I wasn’t pleased with. It’s just not that flavorful. I haven’t loved any of the three blueberry teas I’ve tried from Adagio though, so maybe they’re just not good at blueberry flavoring?

Green rooibos teas are probably my favorite. The problem with the ones from Adagio is that they’re all pretty similar, but one (key west) is so much better than the others that I basically don’t bother with them. So I like this, but I prefer bonita above it as well. Smooth green rooibos flavor with citrus flavors. Good, but order the others above this one.

I don’t like the smell of this tea. It smells too savory, so I expected to dislike it. Surprisingly, the peach flavor is so sweet, strong, and tasty. It tastes like peach rings and maybe a little hint of coconut? Anyway, I like this! Not much black tea in it though, so don’t expect to notice much flavor from that.

I got this one from Cameron B, and I love it! It’s probably the most authentic melon taste I’ve experienced in tea before. The oolong doesn’t contribute much flavor, it’s just the tastiest melon. I can never buy DavidsTea sour watermelon again after this tea!

I actually had this in my pile of teas to get rid of, but I decided to retry it since I couldn’t clearly remember my first opinion of it. There’s a pretty strong burnt flavor. I mellowed that out with some milk. I feel like it manages to evoke both butterscotch and caramel. It’s sweet, and I really do like it. I’m keeping it after all! This one is from Ost.
