Reichenbach Recovery from Custom-Adagio Teas

Emilie drank Reichenbach Recovery by Custom-Adagio Teas

I think I have issues with cornflower petals. Any time I make a tea with them, it has a bitter, astringent taste. Everyone talks about tea made with them being so creamy. I’ve tried this tea at 2, 3 and 4 minutes and still get that flavor. Am I missing something? Do you have to add sweetener and milk for the creaminess to come out? That doesn’t seem right. And when I do, I don’t get any of the caramel or hazelnut taste. I really want to like this tea. Help!

Hoping someone can comment and assist. I have no answer for you on this one.

I’ve tried it in two separate teas, but both were from Adagio. I order something from DAVIDsTEA recently that has them. I’m hoping maybe Adagio’s just isn’t good for some reason.

That may be the case! Good idea trying elsewhere before you decide if you just don’t like that flavor! :)

Bio

I’m a premed student at a university near Austin. I’ve recently started getting very much into tea, but I’m still learning. I’m in Texas for college, but I plan on leaving after I’m done with undergrad. Austin is a lovely place, but I need somewhere colder, maybe Colorado. I’ve lived in Hawaii, Mississippi, Colorado, Maryland, and California, and each place has it’s own charm, but Colorado was definitely my favorite place. I also knit quite a bit and sell things on my etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/CeleryMonster?ref=si_shop
My poor dorm is filled with yarn and tea, I’m sure it drives my roommate crazy.
