427 Tasting Notes

Yunnan Pu Erh Gold from Adagio Teas
90

A yummy tea very earthy. You can tell this tea has in fact been aged. I will be drinking more.

Yunnan Golden Curls from Adagio Teas
88

First, I loved the looks and touch of this tea. It is such a beautiful tea. It brewed up very nicely. It was golden in my cup and so smooth. I felt there was perfect harmony with this tea. It wasn’t too sweet, too bitter, too watery, nothing. Just right.

Gina Amaretta from TeaGschwendner
79

A delicious tea, sweet and smooth. Great for an after dinner tea or right before bed. The almond isn’t overwhelming but it definitely is there. I drank this blank and it tasted great. However, I feel like I need to try it with a little sweetener. I have this feeling it will be out of this world. Can’t wait until tomorrow to find out.

China Lapsang Souchong - 581 from TeaGschwendner
67

Smokey…Smokey…SMOKEY!!! This tea delivers just what it says. Like a campfire but better and safer to drink. A very rich flavor. What scares me most is my 3 yr old daughter tried it thinking she wouldn’t like it and would stop asking me for it she in turned decided she did like. My plan back fired but still simply amazing.

Huang Jin Bolero from Adagio Teas
70

Great taste, sweet and smooth and a little earthy. I feel the flavor palate is a bit complex. Reminds me of a hot summer day at sunset. Don’t ask me why or how I can’t explain either.

Dancong Aria from Adagio Teas
82

I enjoyed this tea and so did my 3 year old daughter. What can I say I drank A LOT of tea when I was pregnant and there must have been some transference. LOL :o) The girl has a complex palette. Nevertheless, I felt this was a medium/light tea, earthy flavor but not grassy with floral accents and touch of sweetness. Tasty indeed!

White Tropics from Adagio Teas
60

Interesting…It smells of alcohol before and after the steep. I was not sure about this but it tasted nothing like it smelled…“Thank God!” However, it was still okay. I didn’t feel like it had a strong enough of a tropical taste. All around okay and I will finish off the sample but have no plans to purchase more.

Go Go Goji from Teavana
85

I really enjoyed this tea. A wonderful aroma before the steep and it remains constant after it has been steeped. It is very reminiscent of the flavors of India. I delicious blend. I do wish there was a little more rose. Other than that wonderfully flavorful and light. A must try.

The Scientist from Adagio Teas
63

Not bad at all. I am getting a nice light citrus feel to this one. Something tells me I will want to try this iced. I did not add any sweetener, it is just straight up. However, all the flavors mix very well. I will add more once I have tried it other ways.

Spring Serenade from Adagio Teas
75

The tea wasn’t as light and crisp as I hoped it would be. More like a syrup but I am almost sure if iced it would be much better. So now that it has been reformulated I will have to reorder it and try it again. However, as is it wasn’t terrible it was good but just now what I expected to be. The new version contains mostly citron green with small percentages of apricot and vanilla. I will add more notes as soon as I ice the original version of what I have reviewed.

An Irish Rum from Adagio Teas

I enjoyed this tea very much. More than I expected to. I really got the “green” feeling that I was hoping for in this tea. The peppermint and lime mix very well together, enough to say it has created a new flavor on it’s own. The rum however is more in the background which is interesting since it that the highest percentage in the tea. I also enjoyed this tea better with sweetener versus none. I would give this one a try.

Genmai Cha from Adagio Teas
85

Delicious! I love the earthy taste I get off of this tea. The flavor of brown rice and popped corn make my mouth happy. If you are looking for a tea that is robust, buttery earthy, and rich in flavor than look no further. Truly a tea that has made it into my regular rotation. FYI, I make mine a little stronger for a bolder flavor.

A Sweet Peach Treat from Adagio Teas

I felt this tea was a more of a delicate tea. Something to sip with my little pinkie extended of course. Ha-Ha :o) It has a mellow peach flavor with a touch of vanilla and almond in the back. I’ll bet this would taste amazing iced with a little sweetener. Delicious.

Scorpio (The Zodiac Series) from Adagio Teas
30

In it’s defense this tea has probably been in the pass for some time and by the time I got it, it probably lost a lot of flavor and maybe took on the flavors of the other teas in the box. As a result, it was not good. Basically flavored water with all ingredients unidentifiable when tasting. I am sorry, but I probably need to taste a fresh batch.

Casablanca Twist from Adagio Teas
86

OMG!!! This tea is delicious. You can taste the mint in the tea but it doesn’t take over. It is smoothing and refreshing all at the same time. I am upset that I didn’t buy more than just a sample of the tea. I will get the bigger tin next time.

Darjeeling Puttabong Summer (#2) from Adagio Teas
77

I enjoyed this tea but did hope for more based on the reviews I had already read. I wanted something a little more robust. On the upside I felt this tea had very clean and crisp taste. I enjoyed it black but also with a little honey. I will finish what I bought but I am not sure if I will buy it again.

Chamomile from Adagio Teas
82

So definitely a lot better then I thought it would be. I am happy I bought the big bag. It is slightly sweet with a honey back. Has a wonderful bouquet with a pale yellow steep. I enjoyed this more than I expected and I will buy it again.

Sweet Velvet Fog from iHeartTeas

OMG!!! ABSOLUTELY my FAVORITE tea. It was so smooth and creamy. I can’t get enough.
