Not sure why this one gets so many low reviews.
I am admittedly – too much probably – not a fan of Adagio however this one is rather nice!
It smells JUST like cream soda, I even smell the fizziness!
The taste is a nice mellow cream flavor, a hint of maple, cocoa notes even, but mostly just a creamy goodness.
I taste the black base, I mean its just a Ceylon but its good.
I could see this being excellent in blends as well – which I created a couple using this tea and am eagerly awaiting them to come!
I can see this being a staple for sure just to have a nice light morning creamy tea.
Good one Adagio, I may have to reconsider my previous feelings about you.
I will just stay away from the white fruit teas – had bad luck with those.

I can’t say I’ve ever truly swooned over any tea from Adagio…but their website is excellent and the ‘tea news’ emails are awesome
I think Fujian Rain is as close to swooning as I have got with Adagio.
Also this one did not resteep that well.
Its okay but not great for a resteep.
did you know that their ‘tea master’ wrote a book? I ordered it on the cheap off of amazon and it was a very short read. Great pictures…but honestly one of the weakest books that I have read on the subject and was very biased and limited in its scope.
I think it is far too easy these days with self publishing for anyone with a computer to write a book !
I am not a fan of Adagio other than the Thai Chai but I blend this Cream tea in with any other flavor tea and it always comes out pretty good.
I like it, too. This is one of the few Adagio teas I have previously ordered in any substantial quantity.

Yeah it really would give that nice creamy backdrop to almost any tea I think.
