drank BOLDLY by Adagio Custom Blends
217 tasting notes

This has unexpectantly become one of my morning work go to’s. I don’t specifically get the taste of blueberries while drinking this but I definitely taste something fruity, for some reason I want to say that I get more of a peachy, stone fruity flavor than blueberries but maybe my taste buds are just off. I’ve drunk through a 3 oz bag pretty quick and although I won’t be in a rush to restock (I have WAY to much tea right now) it will remain on my list of potential future purchases.

Delicious! This smelled so darn good, chock full of berry, from the moment I opened the bag that I couldn’t wait for the water to boil! I added a little rock sugar as it was recommended to sweeten the tea and a touch of milk because thats just how I like my tea. There was a little bit of oily residue at the top of my cup but all of that was forgotten the moment I took my first sip! This is pretty darn amazing tea, the first thing that hits me is the berry, I don’t get the taste specifically of strawberry but I get an overwhelming (in a good way) hit of berry, after that the vanilla and cream notes kick in, followed by a touch of chocolate. I don’t usually sweeten my tea but in this case it was a perfect suggestion! I don’t see this lasting long in my house at all!!

This is seriously delicious! Cocoa and vanilla mingles with delicious tea – I’d forgotten this purchase at the back of my cupboard and hadn’t had the pleasure of trying it, now that I’ve found it, I think the bag will be lucky to last the week!!! And I’m sure another bag will be on its way to me very soon after that!!

Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum!!! This tea has inspired me to finally bite the bullet and buy a gaiwan so I can drink this the traditional way! Delicious!!

drank Sangria by DAVIDsTEA
217 tasting notes

Oh my goodness does this smell like wine and sangria when you open the tin and start to steep!! I drank this at work this afternoon and was very worried that someone was going to get a whiff and whisk me off for a drug and alcohol test!!! I drank this iced and found it to be very flavorsome and to taste very much like sangria (but not as much as it smelt!!). I got some good fruity, winey flavors but I must admit, it did taste a little chemically at first. I’ll enjoy finishing off the 100g that I purchased but don’t think I’ll be back for more after that and I definitely won’t be drinking any more of it at work!!!

I received this as one of my sample teas on my last order and I will be ordering more! This was delicious! I didn’t bother with milk or sugar and am glad I didn’t! There was definitely some good hints of sweet potato and bread and I personally think this would make an amazing afternoon tea as its not astringent at all and is quite soft in its flavors, a good afternoon pick me up! Yum!

drank Watermelon Mint by DAVIDsTEA

I really like this tea – I wasn’t too sure about a watermelon tea but this is super refreshing iced. Yes, I agree there is a slight artificial taste but I’m happy to ignore that because it is just so refreshing!! I can see myself drinking a lot of this through the summer season (which seems to have stated already in Southern California – 102 here today… BOOOOOO!!)

I’m new to guayusa and this is definitely a tasty introduction and a nice change from my morning cup of coffee without the caffeine sacrifice. I can predominately taste the lime in this brew but there is definitely a hint of blackberry which amps up the flavor. A winner in my book!

So I decided to get a sample tin of this in my last Adagio order and to be honest its pretty good, not reorder good, but still I’ve enjoyed drinking through this tin. This tea tastes of vanilla, cream, and blueberry and is pretty tasty with a touch of milk but it seems a little too bland for my liking.

I’ve drunk this a couple of times and wasn’t that impressed, and then I had a cup today and was blown away, I think the icing helped! And of course, as murphy’s law goes, I’ve decided I don’t really want to live without this tea in my cupboard at pretty much the exact time my latest Butiki order arrived.. Guess that means I need to taste through my new teas (Hello Birthday Cake, Blackberry Lime Gayusa, Crimson Horizon, White Rhino and Black Lotus!) before I can make another order!!! Anyways, this is a really tasty lemon, almond, pastry tea, it tastes like the lemony part of a lemon meringue pie and is super tasty iced… yum, yum, yum!!
