Cavocorax drank TARDIS (Blend) by Custom-Adagio Teas

Another sample from Valerie! Thx!

And finally, an earl grey blend that doesn’t overwhelm me with perfumy bergamot notes. Not sure what that was about but I’m happy it passed.

Smell: I know it’s blackberry, but the smell reminds me of plump juicy blueberries. It makes me want blueberry pancakes so bad.

Taste: Pretty good! Slightly bitter, but not unpleasantly so, followed by vanilla/bergamot notes, and finishing with a nice berry taste. I would probably enjoy it more with a touch of cream or sugar.

I used to think Adagio was pretty expensive, but $9 for 3oz (or 4 oz) isn’t bad at all. I just don’t want to pay $24 for a pretty fandom tin, and yet…. I do. Damn you Adagio. But a 6 oz tin? Would that be double the size of a DavidsTea tin?

Yay, glad you liked!

Here’s what I’ve found:

a 3oz pouch of Adagio will fit comfortably in a DavidsTea tin with room to spare. Since TARDIS was actually 4oz, it filled up right to the very top (I had to leave a bit in the bag or the lid wouldn’t fit). I cut the label off the bag and taped it onto the tin so I could keep the artwork. :D

Cool! I would probably do the same because I would be buying it partly (mostly) for the pretty artwork!

I like that you can earn free teas if you make a blend and it sells. Or if you tweet what you’re drinking.

I know, that was a happy accident when I mentioned them in a tweet and got a response. :O

Bio

Tea: I just started drinking loose tea earlier this year and once I started I had to get more and more and try ALL THE TEAS. So far it seems that I like simple oolongs, greens and rooibos teas, and that black teas are where I go crazy with fancy flavoured blends.

Me: I’m a geek, animal lover, new mom, and bookworm. I like Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, pen&paper RPG’s, online RPG’s, video games, silly internet memes, puzzles and a bunch of others things!

Ratings:
1-50: Bleh.

65-75: It’s good.
76-85: It’s very good. (Buy 1oz+)
86-100: Amazing. (ALWAYS re-stock)
