Scorpio (The Zodiac Series) from Adagio Teas

Not too bad, but not really great either. It smells wonderful in the tin, but to be honest, I wasn’t that impressed with the actual taste of it brewed. To me it smelled/tasted a bit bitter and I couldn’t really find any of noticeable tastes of chocolate, vanilla or mango. It might be that I just used too hot of a temperature and burned it, though with a black/rooibos combo, I didn’t think you really could. Still going to mess with the brewing temp a bit next time since it can’t hurt.
Most likely I think it’s my own taste since I’ve been drinking mainly oolongs and whites lately.
This is one I’ll keep around and revisit now and then, definitely when I’m on more of a black kick.

I wanted to cut soda out of my life, so I started drinking more tea. Now I’m quickly becoming addicted. But that doesn’t seem like so bad of a thing considering all there is out there to try.

I started with blacks, but oolongs are quickly becoming my new favorite. Unfortunately, I haven’t really been able to find a green or white tea that I really enjoy. Eventually maybe.

Always open for swaps. If you see something in my cupboard that you’re interested in, feel free to send me a message about it. I do have alot of sample sizes in my cupboard, so there might be a few that I won’t be able to swap. But it never hurts to ask. ^^

Likes – Fruity teas (Peach, Apricot & Pineapple to be specific, but I’d likely be open to others). I’m always on the lookout for a good caramel tea too…and a vanilla one. Or any sweet, dessert teas.
Oolongs right now over blacks, though either is good.

Indifferent/Undecided – White teas are a bit delicate for me but I’m not opposed to trying something new. I haven’t yet found a green tea I like since I dislike vegetal flavors, but there has to be something out there.

Dislikes – Spicy/chai stuff not so much since I can’t seem to get past the spice taste to anything underneath. Anything overly astringent, though I can’t imagine anyone /liking/ astringency (but I’m probly wrong. Lol). Earl Greys, heavy florals, tart teas, rooibos heavy, coconut, vegetal, musky/leathery, citrus, hibiscus, coffee-esque flavors, lemon.

Allergies – Mangos, some nuts especially walnuts. Rose petals/heavy rose teas make me ill though it’s not an allergy so to speak. Heavy artificial flavors also make me ill.
